My usual answer is Desolation Row, but this morning I was listening to Seven Curses for the millionth time and it still sends shivers down my spine.

I'll go with Wicked Messenger by The Black Keys.

Yeah, I enjoyed Love Liza too. That is, if you can enjoy 90 minutes of quiet despair. At least this guy knows how to cast his depressives.

Emily- I only wish I'd remembered to call her a cocktail waitress.
Lorelai-  Ooh, that's my mother's version of the C word.

I also liked Season 5. For me, the 1, 2 punch of 'Wedding Bell Blues' and 'Say Something' is one of the great highlights of the show.

That book is great. I used to see Lumet walking around the Upper West Side quite a bit, we used to go to the same bagel shop. The man looked like any one of my friend's grandfathers; he was always wearing a shirt tucked into his blue jeans. Now I wish I was the type of person to strike up a conversation with him; I…

The Criterion release of The Fugitive Kind has some of those One Act TV Plays in its special features. I watched Mooney's Kids Don't Cry with a young Ben Gazzara. Those plays are live tv, and some of the staging is awkward. It's amazing that they aired live plays.
The Fugitive Kind definitely fits the…

I watched The Town and Smiles of a Summer Night.
@Arsenio- Another Paltrow performance that's pretty good is Two Lovers. I think that movie is awesome in general.

I vaguely remember hearing that Woody and Sellers didn't get along on What's New Pussycat. I think Woody felt he should've played the lead in that terrible movie.
Am I the only one who doesn't find Sleeper funny? I like the scene when Woody wakes up and frets about his parking ticket, but for pure laughs, I don't think…

The Leopard is as essential as they come.
