I never claimed Newport happened before Maggie's Farm, I used it as the most famous example of the anti-Dylan sentiment that was rumbling through the folk movement because he didn't do what they wanted him to to illustrate my point. And I could be mistaken, but I think I first heard that theory about Maggie's Farm in…

orchestral piece.

Aside from the unnecessary Jabba the Hutt sequence in the first film that serves no real purpose and interrupts the flow, the Special Editions run from being negligible in quality to greatly enhanced. Especially in Empire, where the expansion of Cloud City and the correction to optical composition during the Battle…

You'll just watch Rear Window for ten weeks.

TWBB got me long before Plainview's monologue, because the dialogue-free sequence to open the film is almost the most astounding thing about it. The pacing, the sound design, the acting, the editing — everything is so incredibly nuanced.

All I think when I see that picture is, "He's fleein' the innerview!" It's not even the same scene. It's just what I associate her with.

Speaking of REM songs about the radio, I listened to Radio Song the other day. Nothing has aged worse since 1991. Not even Larry King.

If I saw that video on MTV now, I'd be stunned too. Just for different reasons.

My first experience with them was Neon Bible. My second experience was their Austin City Limits show, and I tuned in just in time to catch Wake Up and that's it. That did it.

That 8-bit logo/theme is the coolest thing to open a movie since the Star Wars fanfare. Book that.

What's sad is that I know what he's talking about.

I was 9 years old when the special editions were released, which means not only was I instantly floored by the fucking things, but my first experience with them was in a big movie theater with a huge picture and awesome surround sound. I am still a registered prequel apologist.

I was just at the Twats & Etceteras down on the South Side. The selection has really gone down since that outbreak at the packing plant.

Also, neither the series, movie, nor book is a direct reflection of the Korean War. The book was published in 1968, the movie released in 1970, and the series adapted in 1972. It's all about Vietnam.

The film and the show are totally separate properties. The film might give you some grounding as to the nature and origins of the characters, but stylistically, comedically, and tonally it's completely different. It does, however, explain how Houlihan earned the nickname "Hot Lips." Also it contains nudity, which…

But Vedder got pissed off when people didn't know what Evenflow or Jeremy were about.

Obligatory Simpsons reference:

I'm like that with song titles. When I cover shows, I have to write down the first line of the song and then later google it to figure out the title for the article, even if I know the band well. There are a few exceptions, but not many.

King of the Hill started out hysterical, and then became blander and blander as it became more a celebration of Hank Hill instead of a sly dig at his simplicity.

But did you do those tests on the bone sample Lisa gave you? This is important.
