I woke up one morning with a fully-formed idea of how to adapt Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers into a movie. I called Cohen's office and left a message asking if the rights were available. Cohen himself called me back to say the book had indeed been optioned, and he didn't know what was ever going to be done with…

May I please speak to Punchy Clocaine.

Well, to tell you the truth I feel bad for having implied Evan was an asshole in my comment. He was not, and I take it back. But going to a Jeff Mangum show expecting the audience to stay respectfully silent so as to accommodate those who might be there just because they got free tickets and don't much care one way or…

I only know of those, but you'd think somewhere along the line they'd have put out a proper album.

Hand, Hand, Finger, Thumb, Fist

I have to say I prefer the French metal of the 70s, like Rotomagus. Fighting Cock is Maiden+1000, and is the greatest song ever written

But there are a lot of people stupid enough to care about something because Fox News says they should. A lot of them. And not very many people smart enough to care about something because it will impact them, their children and their grandchildren in real life. Weird.

I'm guessing that lens was a 6.5mm fisheye.

I think Green Eggs and Ham is a right-wing screed arguing for the abolishment of the FDA and government-set food standards.

That's two reasons.

That's the greatest scene in the picture, without a doubt.

Man, I saw this in the theater. Sure, I was maybe five or six years old, but my dad, a good man, took me to see it anyway. I was terrified and loved every minute, and like Keith I have an abiding fondness for it, goofy camp and all. I even don't mind the Bridges character or the robot Kong. And I loved it when the ape…

Hart Bochner from Terror Train? Hart Bochner from The Wild Life? That Hart Bochner? 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, Vel.

Argyle now owns the limo company and has outfitted every car in his fleet with armor plating, machine guns, flame throwers and rocket launchers. The climax of the film will have the bad guys in the Gobi Desert thinking they are looking into the distance through the heat haze at one single limo coming for them, but…

I thought he was based in Las Vegas.

Donald Sutherland, who else?

Well, he's not just saying he didn't enjoy it (and in fact he said it was "pretty good"), he's casting asparagus on the people who did enjoy it, and moreover enjoyed it in ways he personally wasn't comfortable with. I might see people like that and think they were a bit flaky, but it wouldn't taint my opinion of the…

A meh is as good as a boo to a deaf mute, eh? eh? wot ho?

"Rytlewski" is a difficult name, granted, but you really botched the spelling there.
