Thank goodness only people roughly your age are affected by nostalgia. The rest of us are bitter old cranks with amnesia, shaking our fists at clouds.

Just watched the "Mr. Jones" video and only counted six people. The third guitarist must have gone out for smokes. Not sure what the second guitarist was doing, though. Just doubling the main rhythm guitarist, I think. They should have given him some maracas or maybe put him to work writing better lyrics.

There are seven people in this band?!?!?!?!
What do they all do? Vocals, guitar, bass, drums. What more is there to a fucking Counting Crows song?

Not sure if this is meant to rhyme but
'only time will tell if we stand the test of time' (Van Halen) has to be the WORST LYRIC EVER.

Who'ya gonna call?

I would like to see Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings fight over Thor —-> http://www.bedtimeheaven.co…

You know that scene where Sandler's character is doing a gig at MySpace's corporate headquarters - Tom is there and someone shouts 'Facebook Sucks' or something? Was that scene meant to be ironic or was this one of those 'Apatow doesn't get it anymore' moments?

I've never understood the hatred for Pop. If You Wear That Velvet Dress ALONE is better than their entire last two albums.

Just dangle Ice by the feet from the top floor as the change falls out of his pockets.

Can we at least all agree that Stephen Hawking should host the Oscars?

Was that a double entendre or are you just happy to see me?

Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire. Pale Fire.

But how cheap are these motherfuckers? The film franchise is a cash cow. They couldn't just give the guy a million dollars and call it a day?

I'm well aware of all of that and I'm not disagreeing with it. I'm just speculating on how Mamet sees the world. He is reacting to a stereotype of the limousine liberal that does in fact exist. And you're right that public schools are shit but, if you remember, Carter got a lot of good press in 1977 when…

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to look like I was having a go. I don't think that they should go all Tom Shadyac or anything. I used to work at a place in NYC that catered to very rich liberals and they were almost all lovely people who I hold no petty grudge against. The article that was…

The "talking left and living right" part of that article makes sense to me, though, as a possible reason for his conversion. If you've ever spent any time among insanely rich liberals, it's both fun and bewildering to watch the cognitive dissonance. That said, I'd probably do the same thing as well if I had that…

It's the same question I have about Bertrand Russell and Arthur Conan Doyle. One was a JFK conspiracy theorist and the other believed in fairies. Hell, Beck is a scientologist. Add Mamet to the list. It's baffling how such smart people can buy utter nonsense. I only assume that Stephen Hawking will be falling…
