Whoa, cool observation Logoboros. I also liked how the dialogue in the film is spoken very sharply and I thought about this as Tobias was talking about all the dangerous material Alice is around. Everything in the film is very sharp except the hues and colors. A wild contrast.

Exactly, abcdefz. And I just read that Slate post, Eliezer. Wtf? Those are the plot holes?! The writer reminds me of some bully who keeps smacking your face using your own hand saying "quit hitting yourself".

Cool thing too about Faerie Tale Theatre is you can tend to get the entire series used for like $50-60 on Amazon. A really great deal considering they sell each episode all individually too. And they made something like over 30 of them.

Bummer to hear, mbs. I don't know how I'd be if my sister was like that. Oh well, family love and all that.

Defending Pablo
This review is akin to all the others. Average debut album that pales in comparison to rest of catalog. Okay. But I would give Pablo an "A" because I somehow have the ability to listen to the record without thinking what I'd rather be listening to from a band that's only released six other studio…

The Muppets
Yeah, I'm serious.

I'd recommend you all three have kids. I don't but I have siblings much, much younger than I (12 and 15 years younger) and it's a blast exposing them to everything I've loved culturally throughout the years. After my sister went to her first concert (Avenged Sevenfold…ugh), I gave her my cd copy of Sonic Youth's…

The bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar, you're the blessed, we're the Spiders from Mars!

One of the best compliments I ever received was having a Monty Python-loving relative show me that film at the age of 10 and me "laughing at all the parts I wasn't supposed to understand". I guess he was complimenting me on my intellectuality but I think back now that the absurdities would have got me regardless of…

I remember after seeing "There Will Be Blood" at a multiplex having this huge smile on my face, so satisfied with seeing this incredible film. And everyone's else were morose or blank-faced. I felt deranged in that regard but it was still a wonderful feeling.

I've been shown up but I've grown up
and I'm Not Down, no, I'm Not Down

Aww, Eliezer, really?

Five words:

Movie vs. theatre acting
I'm glad Shawn mentioned that whole thing about shouting your lines. I enjoyed my brief life in theatre acting but always had a desire to do screen acting precisely because you don't have to shout your lines. For those who've never been on stage, shouting your lines in what's supposed to be…

The 1000-plus post omission
Damn, ya'll. I feel like some sci-fi character sent at the end of the film to deliver the news coming to you to late….

I agree with you in the sense that with Zaireeka, there's like this tremendous 8-9 second pause between each track. And everybody who's ever tried this (even Coyne admits in the liner notes too, I think) that you eventually have to stop all the cd players because you find one of them is running just a little bit…

I was introduced to Priest-Driven through the double album that includes that whole timespan of recording on The Day They Shot a Hole in the Jesus Egg…and you know…I really love the basement versions of the songs much better than the final studio versions. It's one of the few double discs of questionably essential…

"He got his…I didn't get mine!"

I totally agree staircar1! I can't tolerate prison rape jokes either (nothing too funny about us being the world's leading incarcerator) but that one's ridiculously funny. I bet Todd Solondz would love that joke, the sick fuck.

Remember the Norm skit where he chastises the fortune teller who predicts these incredibly detailed facts of his life but makes slight mistakes? Like at one part, the fortune teller conjures up his dead mother who appears as his spirit and Norm gets his mom to help him make fun of the fortune teller for picking his…
