Well duh.  Monica and Chandler had zero chemistry and sucked the show into a swirling nightmare of torment and misery once their relationship was out in the open.  The episode where Ross (the last to know) finally sees them fucking might as well have been "Friends"'s death knell - the last cry of funny before all…

My label just locked in a deal with Insanity, the US death metal band of underground legend, to release their long overdue 2nd album.  So happy.

I don't even mind replacing albums I already bought with a nice unified set.  They often look better.  But not these ugly monstrosities that end up gathering dust in a corner - I want something that will still sit on a shelf with my other albums.

I'm a fan of nice, definitive sets of bands I love, but not when they tilt over into ridiculous novelty and/or ludicrous space-eating that doesn't play nice with my established shelving.  This obviously crosses both of those lines.  Fortunately I already own every scrap of music that's likely to be on here.

I feel like that already happened.

I'm glad I'm old and don't have to give a shit about this anymore.  I can just wave off Liturgy as shitty and not really have to care if they're pretentious.

I never thought Cersei was all that smart.  In fact my take on her from pretty early on was that she was "not as clever as she thinks she is," which I believe is nearly a quote from the show (was that Tywin?).  She's a willing player of the game, but there are far more talented opponents on the field - and I think…

I don't think even explicitly saying "BOB is a spirit that possessed Leland" undermines the metaphor of it.  Because that's how metaphors work, you see.  You can better argue that the exact way they make it explicit takes away from Leland's culpability in what he did and semi-excuses incest and sexual abuse, but I…

I've actually not yet seen "Inland."  Maybe I'll make time for it this weekend.  I heard such varied things about it, but strangely the real turnoff was how it was filmed - heard from so many people that it didn't have that lush look and feel that most other Lynch movies have got, and it really suffocated my interest,…

If you replace "high" with "sleepy," "Blue Velvet" with "The Postman," and "fainted" with "cringed my way into the crevice between the couch cushions," I had that exact same night.

I'm with you, Smacky.  Lynch most closely captures the disorienting, abhorrently terrifying sensation I have when I have a really awful nightmare - or a night terror, which I suffer from.  If he directed his take on an actual horror movie, I think (on the evidence of the darkest bits of Mulholland Drive) it would…

Lynch is a national treasure, you clod!  LEAVE DAVID LYNCH ALONE *sob*

I like the movie too, but the best?  Crazy talk.  The pilot is one of the finest things Lynch ever did, the high water mark of the series, and one of the best pilots ever put on television (even better than Lost, another one that I think could hardly have been any better).

I have seen Spaceballs twice.

Good one, ElDan!  Hilarious AND timely!

And just as famously filmed 90% of all three movies in front of green screens so Lucas could have his team of FX monkeys paint in the architecture and zillions of irritating, zippy little spaceships.

Prequel… sets?
