The poem or the painting?

But not man enough to spell "obvious" correctly.

We're all dodging the obious one.
But I will be man enough to admit it:

The scene where he takes the half a million dollars, invests it in exotic derivatives such as credit-default swaps and collateralized debt obligations while gaming the Gaussian copula function, pulls them right before the market tanks and then creates a lucrative ROTH IRA account was cut because it was too confusing.

I've also moved the DVD in and out of my Amazon cart about 20 times since it was released. I want to own it because it was amazing and I know that I need to watch it a few more times and that it will only get richer upon repeated viewings but oh god I don't think I'm ready to watch it again.

Paul Delvaux!
In the house!

This film almost ruined film for me
Saw it in the theaters (which is unusual because we don't get many art films in the theaters up where I live), was blown away, and I honestly think it's one of the greatest American films of the past 25 years. But for about six months after seeing it, I could not bring myself to…

You pretty much HAVE to make it rain at the end of the film, as you've already overwrought yourself into a corner. It's really all that's left. I'm sure one day they'll roll out a deleted original ending in which it rains, a sea forms, and then Paul walks across it.

I will be brief because I feel like I'm already known around these parts as "that crazy tree that is way too into David Lynch's version of DUNE". But I believe the film succeeds BECAUSE it is so ridiculous, so incomprehensible. The way every single line is said as if. It's. The. Most. Important. Thing. That. Has.…

David Lynch's Dune is not even "passably watchable?" Really?
AV Club, it's over between us. I'm taking your sister to the prom instead.

They will have to pry "The Lorax" from my cold, dead hands.

Wow
The part where he just makes the text he's typing bigger and bigger to show how pissed off he is at Disney for taking down the clips of his Siskel Tribute brought chills to my spine.

Black Star made a video?
Nathan, you just made my day.

Well if he REALLY wanted it to be a secret, he probably shouldn't have written it on his ass like that and put it on the internet, which is the #1 place to look at asses.

I'm sending my love down the well.

Quincy Jones to Jamie Foxx?
That's the biggest tradedown in history.

I enjoyed the work of British jazz/funk/pop band Level 42
For a few years longer than I should have.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians
were way better before they signed to Matador.

Rosie O'Donnell counts as a crowd.

Yes, I will go ahead and be that guy
Someone needs to break Greg Fidelman's motherfucking fingers before he overcompresses another album to hell.
