Both me and two other friends tried for tickets and didn't get them, but one of those friends had another friend get two tickets, and he's getting one of them.  Pretty bummed, but I saw him last year at the VP and that was such an intense experience I can't be too disappointed.  My friend who is going is seeing a girl…

"colon-festooned" means something different in my line of work.

That ginger thing is so funny because if you asked me to describe the type of man I find attractive I'd say "tall, dark hair, beard" but if I actually described like, every ex ever, it would be "medium height redhead."  What people say they like and what they truly pursue are often different things.

It was a little annoying when they cast that cat due to complaints about the lack of diversity on the show.

Listening to Sedaris read "6 to 8 Black Men" might be the funniest thing I have ever heard.

Re-read a couple of mid-period Agatha Christie books (The Hollow, which I think works really well, and Cat Among the Pigeons, which I think is one of her weaker efforts).  I've also made it half-way through The Magicians, which I am really enjoying, although it seems a little too fast-paced for it's own good.  Some…

Awesome - I had a great vacation there about 10 years ago (fuck, I"m old).  Is this a permanent move or temporary?

I feel so old thinking "hey, remember when they just used to play good music?"  But I really miss those days.

Yes, but has she ever played a stipper?  I don't object to nudity (in cast that's what people thought in the above thread), but I kind of object to the way movies portray strippers and this really unfounded idea that strippers are edgy or deep just because they take their clothes off for a living.

That it did, but I'm not sure it qualifies as a good movie (but maybe that's just my opinion).

Yeah, that was kind of what I was thinking…

I would posit that people only know about that role because of Google, not from lining up to see it in the theatre.

I haven't seen a lot of those - are they primarily set in strip clubs or just have a few moments there?  Certainly there are lots of good movies with a scene in a strip club, but few that focus on the stripper.

Oh, The Full Monty is a good one!

Good movies set in strip clubs:

I am slowly catching up with this and boy is it good. 

Todd is right about The Sweet Hereafter.  She's uniformly good in other movies I've seen, but that movie will wreck you and she is a huge part of that.

This is a minor mystery that comes up in S1 - sorry for the mini-spoiler!  I promise it won't ruin anything for you when you finally watch it (which you totally should :) ).

I actually like the melody of that song a lot and find myself singing it to myself at very strange times.

I feel like a horrible person for thinking "ooooh!! Just like season 1 of Veronica Mars!!".
