I have two small kids, and if given the chance to go to bed at 8:19, I would seize it like nobody's business.

This may have already been brought up, but does anyone suspect that Hannibal killed Dr. Du Maurier and has been talking to her mummified body, Norman-Bates style? 

Really? I'd say being attracted to a hot, smart dude but not wanting to get involved because he's clearly losing his marbles is the total opposite of crazy.

I know what you mean.  Maybe read "Mason and Dixon" (it's long but hilarious) — it's got his most developed and affecting characters. Also he's one of those authors where the more you read of him the more you like him, as you grow accustomed to his world, with all its tics and weaknesses.

I think TP saw "The Big Lebowski," (which heavily, heavily took stuff from "Vineland") and thought he could do an even better job of writing a counterculture California caper. So he did, and he was right. And the movie will be great, too. Also, though I don't totally disagree with your criticisms, I think the…

Isn't someone doing a TV version of "The Sot-weed Factor"? If they can do that, they can do "Mason & Dixon."

Yes! I was like "WHERE MY CHILDREN PLAY WITH THEIR TOYS!" It was an off-kilter moment in an otherwise solid episode.

There's no narrative reason for all the place-shifting, though, so it can't be sloppy writing.

I agree — it's all very nightmarish. Deserted locales that in no way should be deserted, people being left alone who would never be left alone, people (alive and dead) suddenly appearing and disappearing in places they have no business in, weird doppelgangers, strange moments of lucidity like the chalk outline bit and…

I'm sure the dude knows how to get rid of a body and clean up blood. I agree that the setup was strange, sudden and in some ways unbelievable, but I don't think it far-fetched that a dude like Hannibal could get rid of a body in a remote location with efficiency and dispatch.

I like her too, though she always looks like she's shot through a different filter than the rest of the characters. Her skin is like three shades more ashen.

I wish I hadn't seen it.

Velocity Girl is your favorite Sub Pop band, which is fine. To say they are the best and greatest Sub Pop band is hogwash.

C'mon dudes, he's been heavily medicated for decades now. Let's try to keep up with the aging alt-rocker headlines.

Where's Big Chief?
Or more seriously, Godheadsilo?

I like how this song could easily have just been a straightforward song about love and loss, and it still would have been the tops. But then he pushes it into creepy sex-doll territory and you have to reevaluate the whole thing in the light of the often gross obsessions of masculinity.

Though I am disappointed in the dearth of "A-Team" jokes in both the review and the comments, I nonetheless look forward to watching this show. Also, I have it on good authority that NBC will at least show the entire first season, regardless of the ratings.

@avclub-7dc8b441cf4e6fe9bc806679c4579e68:disqus Their alliance with the Big Business dudes has borne some fairly boss fruit. "A Senile Animal" in particular is worth your time, and comes somewhat close to their '90s epics.

I think "Tomorrow Hit Today" is actually really good — it's slicker and a little more structured, which I'm sure turns some folks off, but it also shakes off the dust of old habits and takes some surprising turns.

It has moments of awesomeness, but it's really, really way too long, and Connery says some super-nonsensical shit, and there are a whole bunch of really tired plot contrivances that hijack the world that Van Sant so painstakingly sets up in the beginning. Having said all that, I've never seen GWH, but I have a hard…
