Gozu just has its own thing going, and maybe it's all meaningless or maybe every bit mattes or both, but it definitely sells the idea that even if the logic is internal, it's still logic.

Visitor Q is disturbing because you kinda buy into it after awhile, like Stockholm Syndrome or something, and the batshit insane family starts seeming like healthy people, or at least people doing the best they can to adapt to the crazy they find themselves immersed in. Plus having a guardian angel whose MO is hitting…

That looks more like a mini-uzi than a mac-10.

And F is special. A D- is just incontrovertible, yet unremarkable, failure.

When this first came out, I wasn't really into King Homer, since while it was a fine episode, wasn't even slightly scary. Is King Kong considered scary by anyone? It's a fine adventure tale, but I don't see the Halloween connection.

I'd assumed it was "thread" like from an unravelling cloth or a failing rope.

That's a lie and you know it!

Eh, they all weigh the same, so it's just a matter of making sure the other people on stage don't get in the way.

Dude, dude. Day 2 of the Draft - 2nd and 3rd rounds! Who knows what guy you've never heard of before that you'll learning nothing of for a few months might be a starter by Week 6!?! You're a fan or you're not, buddy.

"Sounds interesting."

Sure, but if there's any truth at all to the stereotype that industry execs are all gay men and/or bitter, frigid ice queens, what would they possibly know about what a heterosexual man is attracted to? It's like when people make talking dog movies and think all great danes want to screw dolled-up poodles.

I'm just sad that Paul Reiser lived long enough to see this happen.

And motion blur, apparently. Or how shaky-cam races… don't actually exist in real life, as human necks and eyes know how to adjust and keep their focus. Or hell, how real life isn't scored to music.

I love how movie "magic" lives within its (now-obsolete) technology-dictated limits and patent unrealism, and now that the means exist to avoid things like motion blur, lens flare and whatever, it's "bad" somehow. Like music "the popping and other vinyl artifacts make it better… somehow" or books "having to hold a…

Or just the difference between "you suck because you're stupid" (comedic demonstration of stupidity) versus "you're stupid because you suck" (fat joke).

I'm pretty sure there were some South Africans in the 80s who used the three-armed swastika as their off-brand-nazi symbol in their attempts to organize a delay of the end of apartheid. But that was fairly recent, and likely me-too-ism.

I'm convinced that Girls exists solely for TV critics to angrily defend against people who haven't actually seen it. Mission accomplished, HBO!

Lovecraft in Love - the title sells itself!
