I got halfway through this book
Someone's got to represent the folks in the "those who believe it an unnecessary and possibly pretentious distraction from the story" camp. POSSIBLY pretentious? I made it through 200 pages of sheer writerly masturbation before being forced to quit. (Worse than this: http://www.theoni…

John De Lancie
Goddamnit his name isn't Q, he has a real name! What is with you people!

Final track will be…
Abbey road medley?

Hick Shithole?
MURPHY KICK HIS ASS!

Yes. I'd ask Tom Petty to show us his vagina.

You guessed wrong! Seriously, there's not much you can do with Sasha Grey on terrestrial radio…If you're on Clear Channel, you can't even say "vagina".

Trippy!
I work for a radio talk show that has regular guests, and this is the first time my show and the AV club have interviewed the same person! Sasha was actually really nice; she was fully game for all the weird questions/games we subjected her to, and much more clearheaded than many of the other porn stars we've…

Personally, I thought it was Jane that sold the scene. There're some evil mothers, who'll tell you that everything is just dirt, you know, that women never really faint. But sweet Jane, heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to her when she smiles.

Nobody can see the screen while doing the Plank. I eventually figured out you don't have to be perfectly balanced when doing it, you just have to stay really still.

Far from it….

Also, I dunno, do you really need both "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers?"

You know,it's just math…those movies all have decades on Pulp Fiction in terms of influence.

Huh?
This was a weird review, Scott. I saw a screening of this movie back in October, found it a little roughly edited but very funny and watchable, and not as whimsical or as dark as "Wes Anderson meets Taxi Driver" makes it sound. I also thought it was a mostly sympathetic portrait of Rogen's character. The grade…

Kenny is forced to start cooking meth to pay his cancer bills.

Krysten Ritter
Hey! Sexy-goth landlord = creepy pedophile mayor's daughter from 2nd season of Veronica Mars.

Strident 80's is worse. I kind of love smarmy 70's sax, but as a rule, any New Wave song with sax in it would be better if it was just cut out of the mix wholesale.

Grunge
was pretty much a return to classic rock. Nirvana was maybe it's own beast, but everyone else in that scene was resurrecting 70's riff-rock, with just a bit more gloom.

EMBRYO! Yes

Only in the same sense the White Stripes would be considered "Delta Blues".
