cannot wait to get a copy of the book, Nathan. Is it going to be in the shops in Australia or should I just Amazonize?

say no to proyas!

I still love It's a Shame about Ray and that "Best of.." which overlooks Lovey (for shame) but the best Lemonheads songs were always written by Tom Morgan.

The Insider and Collateral are my preferred films of his, there's something very authentic about The Insider (Rusty's Oscar for A Beautiful Mind was a mulligan by the Academy) and I really liked the way the stakes were raised every step of the way in Collateral (I had forgotten about the Audioslave abuse until you…

Jesse's Girl in Breaking Bad looked a bit like Rose McGowan.

both are pretty darn good films that friends of mine have hated.

i'm still down with Frailty but i'm a little amazed no one has mentioned that Cy Fuckin Tolliver is in it.

c'mon! i enjoyed "Frailty". i thought the way that Paxton's character was convinced of his divine duty was very well handled. there's maybe a twist or two too many, but in the ever overflowing sub-genre of psycho-religio-serial killer films, Frailty is a winner.

Cum in my eyes when she told me the news. Turning me on with my lightsabrecocksuckingblues!

Standards kind of ended my love of Tortoise (i mostly enjoyed A Lazarus Taxon) but this does sound worth checking out, maybe we've been on a break for long enough.

a very pretty pussycat

i first heard the Lemonheads version on "Car, Button, Cloth". once i told my friends to listen to the lyrics they stopped instantly skipping it.

Without wanting to sound too much like a contrarian: are youse for real about Grounded for Life? It's not a funny show. I've seen a few episodes recently on cable in Australia and it does not cut it.

Aussies reprazent! Geoffrey Rush and Anthony LaPaglia. woop woop

can you think of other things that talk?

i like him too! i like… hippie johnny. but i had to call up and say how i wanna take his place

amy sedaris once said that if they ever made a new strangers with candy special there would be a flash back sequence in which Samberg is joffrey, even if it was only a "five-minutes-ago" type deal.

my favourite JCVD example (I can't remember which film) goes
token chick: then how come you have that accent?
JCVD: what accent? (but it comes out of his mouth more like "werrt aksont?")

Yay! Patton!

I would like it if the next book was Jonathan Strang & Mr Norrell by Susannah Clark. It is such a wonderful book.
