Did the cancellation have anything to do with him though? I thought it was just a casualty of Konami imploding.

Those are some pretty serious southern royalty bona fides. I'd wager your friend never has to pay for his own meal at Waffle House.

If he does he's seen plenty of pick-up trucks with bumper stickers pleading fellow motorists not to blame the driver as he voted for that Jeff Davis fellow.

Dig up his interview with Terry Gross. You will need no further evidence that Gene Simmons is legitimately creepy.

I've never seen a single episode but I thank the Lord for Magnum P.I. because it prevented him from playing Indiana Jones. Nothing against Selleck but I just can't picture him and his mustache playing Indy instead of Harrison Ford.

No, he's just a phony professor longhair.

I'm still pissed at Ridley Scott for "whitewashing" Gladiator by having a kiwi, an American, and a bunch of Brits playing Romans.

I frequently hum "Magical Sound Shower" to myself when passing someone on the highway.

Strange, isn't it, that FF XIII's crimes know no bounds when the player is bound by a linear corridor for the first half of the game.

Sensitive viewers take note: many, many horses were harmed in the making of this film.

I still think Dean Moriarity can drive across that big old stretch of American highway and be free and the jazz music. Man!

That would make for a hell of a terrifying movie starring a big sweaty John Goodman or, better yet, a big sweaty Randy Quaid as Gacy.

I almost barfed with laughter when he revealed that cowboys do, in fact, make literal love to the earth when out on the range.

Double Impact is endlessly quotable, or at least it was to me and my friends as kids. "Weeth my beeg legs, and my Karate, I can do the spleets no praaaablem!" "Wahts thees? Soooposed to make my deek beeger?" "I would never wear black seelk underpants!" etc.

In other words, "you're not wrong, Mohd, you're just thinking like Armond White."

Upvoted for saying exactly what I was about to. I get the impression that they're seen as doing something entirely new and different because they're from San Francisco and look the part and have gotten a lot of press in the states whereas bands like Alcest or Year of No Light who have been blending similar influences…

Agreed. WA is a highly underrated director of actors. He got Bruce Willis to be engaged onscreen for the first time in 20 years for heaven's sake. He has also gotten great work that fits the tone of his productions out of notoriously difficult and headstrong actors like Hackman, Murray, and Ed Norton.

For maaaaarriage, that's why. Are you not familiar with the megachurch culture of the people who watch this crap?

Does he wear a big plastic nose in this one too? It proved to be his Oscar bait lucky charm last go-round.

"Young Country Doctor Cut-Glass Doorknob." That's absolute poetry. It encapsulates the Masterpiece Theatre aesthetic perfectly.
