Love, love,
-LOVE this movie! This hit me at just the right time in my life and will be one of those movies I will always love and frequently watch.

oh, hello early adolesence
Objectively, I recognize that the book is problematic. Not terrible (IMO, obviously Dick Grayson feels differently), but sections of it do not hold up to scrutiny. But man this took me right back to being 12 or 13 which was really the last time I steadily read this sort of fiction, and the…

well, King's a touch more blue collar. And I don't mean that condescendingly, but his characters tend to be a bit scruffier than Straub's. But there's a crazy similarity in style to be sure.

I saw a ghostie!
I'm about 2/3 of the way through, optimistic about finishing on time.

Yeah, holding people against their will and threatening and harrasing publicly critical voices? Totally cute.

Yeah.
I cannot rationally explain my love for this movie. I was dragged to it and ready to HATE, and I just grinned like a dork through the whole movie. It's often accused of laughing at its characters, but I never got that vibe off of it. It's more like laughing at the world of the movie. Having been a very…

muse, it is the first episode of the second season of a fairly buzzed-about show (am i right about this, I don't really follow TV coverage, but my sense was that it had a decent, growing profile by the end of S1). They have to be assuming there'll be a lot of new viewers. I just always sort of expect a lot of expo…

AWESOME
AWESOME.

Saw a preview of this on Monday
"Unforced sweetness" is very accurate. This was not some desperately adorable "awww"-fest. I like his darker, more adult oriented stuff better as well, but, compared to most kids' fare, this does have some genuinely scary moments, and there's an emotional honesty to it that you don't…

Pico, yeah I like David Ives a lot. My favourite parody of his is "Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread", mostly because it's probably the least easy joke to make about Phillip Glass.

Okay, Penguin, I was trying to be funny and it didn't come across. My bad. This is what happens when you just dash these off. They're important.

Except that the bulk of Mamet's work, paticularly in film, is not excessively profane. A more accurate parody might have gone for the arch and slightly unweildy tone of his dialogue, or perhaps a crack about Ricky Jay as Mr. Frank.

Congratulations, you've all seen Glengarry Glen Ross!

Yeah, I'm sorta with you this week.

Fucking Awful
SPOILERS IF ANYONE HASN'T SEEN IT

Yeah that got me too, though in my case I think that was mostly Kate Bush's fault.

Right on, Riff.

Damn
Everytime I read about this lady's odd life, she seems increasingly awesome.

Also, further to this: I think the reason you draw so much flak (aside from that being your main intention) is not so much that you're criticizing the show but that you're trying to distinguish yourself from the rest of the fan base as one of the few chosen who sees through the show's bulshit. You're wrong. Most of…

I've finally become bored enough to respond:
