But if the rapist on "The Sopranos" was so destructive, then why was he selected as 'employee of the month'?

A guy died from a perforated colon after getting sodomized by a horse.

I'm from Enumclaw, Washington. Trust me, no one in the surrounding areas was surprised that it was the home of the inverse merry-go-round parlor. Enumclaw has always been the Kentucky of Washington state, minus the sophistication, education and hygiene.

He's really settling nicely into his middle-age, isn't he? Alec Baldwin says Oldman is the best screen actor of his generation. Coming of age in the 90s, he mostly registered for me as the go-to crazy dude, from True Romance to Dracula to Leon to Fifth Element to Immortal Beloved. It was actually weirdly shocking to…

Ah, Chicago. City of broads, shoulders.

If the Discovery Channel don't kill me, I don't know what will.

REAL: The Tom T. Hall Project

The Phelps cover I linked to is from that tribute CD. I agree that it has some fantastic shit. Calexico's version of "Tulsa Telephone Book" is one of my favorite tracks of the last 10-15 years. Kelly Willis' take on "That's How I Got to Memphis" should have been a #1 hit, and Whiskeytown nearly does justice to maybe…

Tom T. Hall, "Spokane Motel Blues."

Disarm the settlers!

Watch Michael Fassbinder *become* Itchy Tit!

Ali Macgraw may have been watching Robert Evans' fever dream but the whole while she was actually thinking about Steve McQueen's flick.

Yeah, the night time drive to "In the Air Tonight" is wonderful, evocative, ominous. And then, they all start talking and doing things again. MTV Cops is right. It's like a show where you take and expand a great 3 minute music video and try to build a plot and characters around what should just be music and visuals.

I like the *idea* of Miami Vice: ultra-80s, early Michael Mann, stylish neo noir with a great visual sensibility. But then I tried to re-watch the pilot. Holy fuck nuttery. It was just half a step from being an unintentional Naked Gun spinoff in its deadpan hilarity. Idiotic stereotypes, rapidly multiplying logical…

It's like he's a modern day Emily Dickinson:

Todd VanDerWerff likes this joke and gives it an A-.

Stop crying, Jesus.

And he has a pale, monstrous cock.

"They think it's adorable."

Tom does nothing for me.
