Not a huge Michelle Branch fan, but her song was perfect for the scene it was used in.

It's the bottom half of a Nintendo DS grafted onto a console.

Not to get too far ahead, but…
…I'm gonna go ahead and call it: the 2-parter about 2/3 of the way through the first season is the only time Quentin Tarantino's been tolerable onscreen in a role that he didn't write.

I was frustrated with the third season, but the "everybody works for Sloane in the Apple Store"-reset of the fourth season frustrated me so badly that I quit watching halfway through.

I'm gonna go.

Which Himself film was the one where the audience was constantly watching themselves 15 minutes ago?

Locker Room Towel Fight: The Blinding of Larry Driscoll.

Razzle dazzle!

"We'll be hearing from that kid. And I don't mean a telegram."

Speed Racer on Bluray is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

I found love in this world, and my heart strings just unfurled/
I found love in the spring, and I did not lose a thing/
I found love in the fall, and it did not hurt at all

Re: the end/beginning of IJ, I remember reading a theory years ago that Hal's state was due to a weird (but obliquely alluded-to) interaction of the mold he ingested as a child, the DMZ and his marijuana withdrawal.

I wouldn't be surprised if the terms were even worse than 90/10.

Nate's death scene
Rewatched it after the last few episodes. While you never see who was wielding the pipe that took him out, there are a couple of shots where you can clearly see Leprechaun in the crowd, and I think he was spattered with blood.

I think it's a nice touch that Jimmy only wears 5 or 6 t-shirts, and the show just cycles through them repeatedly.

Serious question
How do scalpers manage to get good seats en masse to just about every big show? Kickbacks to the venue/artist management/ticketmaster? I've never understood it.

The balcony scene
Noel, you may have run across this in the comments before (it's been discussed the last few writeups, I think), but the balcony scene was Gellar's least favorite scene of the entire series. She saw it as a betrayal of the character. Wrongly, I think, but I can see where she's coming from.

Zieg, "The Gospel According to St. Matthew" is probably his best film.

@kthejoker, Jeopardy does not pay for your airfare or your stay unless you keep winning and have to make more than one trip to LA.

Oh man, Doublemeat Palace
Can you watch two Buffys next week so that isn't the only ep we'll have to talk about?
