I also have a genuine love for Southland Tales.  There are so few of us, it's important that we make our presence known.

Reading Dhalgren is a both a wonderful and an infuriating experience.  It gets sloppy toward the end, and this is from someone who can't get enough of postmodern literature.  I do recommend reading it; the good outweighs the bad, though I think in descriptions of it the science fiction elements are overblown.  It is

I loved the effect in that episode with the camera behind the clear pane of glass.  We can see Hal splashing and dabbing paint, but not what he's painting.

Liked for Marie Provost.  One of my favorite songs, and it definitely belongs in this AVQ&A.

Someone needs to make David Boring, and Gondry could do something interesting with the comic book bits.

I initially read that as 'Short Circuit,' and was confused for a moment.

I can't believe someone dislikes Scar.  From what I remember, that was badass all the way, despite the presence of Kat, who was one of my least favorite characters in the show's run.

I entirely disagree.  The relationship between Irma and Bellgrove is kind of enchanting, considering the complete social inadequacy of the two of them, and the advanced age at which they enter their strangely adolescent courtship.  What I had a problem with were 'The Professors,' who, despite their necessity what with

I read Lady Lazarus after you mentioned it the first time, and I'm floored by how relevant it is to this episode.  It provides a perspective that hasn't been touched on in the comments (as far as I've read, anyway).  Thanks for mentioning it, as I'm not usually a Plath fan and would not have recognized the

Is everyone else too embarrassed to mention The Misfits?  Cause Static Age is an album to scream to.  'Last Caress,' 'Attitude,' and 'Bullet,' especially.  Also, 'Hate the Police' by Mudhoney.

It is impossible to remain upset while listening to Perpetuum Mobile.  That song is like sunny spring day incarnate.

'Baby, wait, I didn't mean to say nightmare…'  TMBG do some great spoken-word interludes.  'Snowball in Hell' is also one of my favorites.

Liked for the gif.

I read American Pastoral after having only read Portnoy's Complaint.  I enjoyed the latter, but it was exactly what I expected from all that I'd heard / read about it: funny, raunchy, and Jewish.  Pastoral was an emotional gut-punch, and one of the best books I've read in the last year or so.  Right now, I can't think
