Huh. My jams aren't usually that upbeat, but that flute line has some lovely sonic fuzz on it.

Well, I suppose there's Frank O'Hara, notable fifties-era poet who was killed by a dune buggy.

His former mustache trimmer.

Huh. I'm going to have to check that guy out. At least Roland Barthes is no longer the only famous person I know who was killed by a slow-moving wheeled vehicle.

Are you kidding me? The drum break on "My Pal Foot Foot" is one of the most astonishing sounds in the history of recorded music.

That taught me a lot about the heedless waste that man engenders upon the planet he calls home. Also made me wish that my character had brought along a wheelbarrow or some shit.

You say mean things to it and see if it reacts. If it just lies there and says nothing, you've won the fight by default.

I don't smoke weed, so while I recognize he's a generous man, that part was not taken into consideration when calculating their scores.

It's gonna show him trying to whack it to ASCII porn.

OK, so you're right about the plot and its comments about national sympathies But for some reason, and even though it's a British production full of Britons, the whole thing felt weirdly fake to me. It came off like an Epcot Center version of what Americans think that Britain is like that seemed better suited to…

Black Flag better be on the soundtrack.

Love, Contractually: A Holiday Hooker Story

Sentimental, in other words.

I'm not completely against sentiment, but it's got to be earned. Love, Actually barely makes an effort. The two relationships I liked in the movie were the ones between the two naked actor body doubles (who seemed to have a thing going) and the one between Bill Nihy and his manager, who seemed to have a real…

He calls Lil' Sis "Mom".
