The first time I dropped acid I took 3 tabs over the course of 90 minutes because it seemed like nothing was happening. I was very wrong.

Miyazaki
What's the consensus on "Porco Rosso."

Phantom of the Paradise is easily the best DePalma movie. The opening performance of "Goodbye Eddie, Goodbye" is one of the greatest things ever commited to celluloid.

You are drowning in grape juice.

Colin Quinn is the antithesis of comedy. WU during the Quinn years was like a black hole for humor which made all of the surrounding skits seem vastly funnier by comparison — I'm sure it's the only reason he got the gig.

Wait, what was the other 30 Rock-esque movie?

I'm pretty much with you all the way, EZ, except that I think Aykroyd/Curtain sneaks in just above Murray/Curtin on the back of "Jane, you ignorant slut."

Not That I'm a Fan of Fallon
but I feel it necessary to mention, lest we forget, that Conan was pretty terrible in his first year or so as a host. Conan has a great mind for comedy, and by now I think he's both adept at working the audience and a servicable interviewer, but his early days on Late Night could very

I'm On The Verge
of finishing "Broom of the System", and I'm going slowly cause I figured that after I finish I'd never again have the pleasure of reading anything by DFW for the 1st time. I'm really glad that isn't the case.

The Coolest Thing I Own
is probably a Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers shirt signed by Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston (no Brian, unfortunately). It's framed alongside a few pictures of me onstage at a Beach Boys show and standing with Carl outside of my old house (before he took the fam

The plot-lines tied together perfectly well, there were plenty of great one-liners, and I laughed basically non-stop … but I still think this was the weakest episode of Season 3. Something about the Liz-Kenneth plot just didn't click for me, the resolution of Jack and Elisa's relationship seemed forced (especially

"Sound and Vision" is absolutely killer, and I'm pretty sure they use the album version in that Rhapsody commercial that you're talking about.

Months ago, while absurdly high, I was driving around with friends and found these at a gas station somewhere near the USC campus. I nearly cried with joy. The attendant said they always carry them and I swore I'd be back for more, but subsequent attempts to find the place (either sober or high) proved fruitless.

Any list
that regards "Sin City" as somehow more essential than "Rumble Fish" is automatically invalidated.

Not yet, but a man can dream.

It has been said that …
Amelie's smile is the smallest observable instance of a black hole in the known universe and the direct result of what is, to date, the most successful experiment in high-energy particle collision at l'Organisation Europeenne pour la Recherche Nucleaire. Since no light can escape from the

Funny, that's exactly what I thought when I read your post. We have so much in common … we should hang out.

That Exclamation Point
makes this news item seem a lot more exciting than it is. There are lots of things that make people laugh, but I'm pretty sure this lame comic isn't one of them.

I fear that my quest to see this movie will never come to fruition.
