i should have known… The AV Club and all that

I think he meant he had never been a passenger on a cruise prior to organizing one of these music-themed cruises.

wow, that is quite an impressive cast for a movie staring an orangutan

I thought you wrote Carrell, and was wracking my brain trying to figure out to what you were referring. I got it now, though

I felt like a dumbass when I ponied up the cash to see August: Osage County in the theater

Thanks for the thoughtful piece, Sonia. RIP Joan

eh, I feel like everyone has an opinion about what book is "worth" reading, and what is not, and how your reading choices reflect on your worthiness as an individual. if it entertains you, who cares?

I picked up The Bone Clocks from the library today (first in the queue!). I started a book the other night that I had in my goodreads "to read" list called Archetype by M.D. Waters, but I don't remember what prompted me to add it to the list (many times it is from recommendations here).

i laughed really hard at the "mutant turtles" anecdote

coo coo ca cha! coo coo ca cha!

The aren't allowed back at the library since they stole that cushion

an all animal cast reminds me of a nativity set I was given by a family member a few years ago. Every figure was an anthropomorphic cat (baby Jesus was a kitten!). It was disturbing, to say the least.

that is a stone cold classic article by Rabin

I couldn't decide if the parallels to the Passion were brilliant or head-bashingly obvious, but Adam's fever dream of carrying the cross made it worth it (plus dancing and singing with Liam-God!)

Ah, I've been wanting to see The Double, but it never came to the crapsburgh I live in
