This thing. It is the best thing.

Scott Pilgrim took direct inspiration from FLCL. O'Malley's written as much in his blog.

I think your missing the next thing he says. He's not saying that people shouldn't complain, it's that they misplace their shitty lives onto their conveniences. I believe it's something like: "it's not the phone that's shitty. Your life is shitty, around the phone".

Yeah, that's why I'm giving Red Son a miss. Americans, no matter how compassionately they try to portray it, are hardwired to believe communism is inherently doomed to fail. Can't really trust them on this issue at all, so any fiction they write about it tends to end in bullshit.

and so well written too!

I wish it was Paul Fratt.

Hahahaha, no no, don't get me wrong, I approve wholeheartedly… not trying to bust you at all…

Seriously though, what you gotta do is offer her a fresh mammoth carcass, and unceremoniously mount her while she's distracted trying to rip off shards of its still-warm innards with her hands and bare teeth before the jackals smell it. Chicks dig that retro shit.

Letters to Cleo is nowhere near as iconically alt as NMH though… They were on Ten things I Hate About You, and the girl from it is a prominent songwriter for disney now. That's about on par with Smash Mouth and their Kim Possible appearance.

Yeah? Well I'll dick your fiction… grumble grumble…

cough. I call bullshit. cough.

I'd say there's an element of that swirling around too, but my own experience with Brand has been one of limited and mostly apathetic exposure, and I can see other people sharing that experience. Apart from his examples of mediatic oversaturation, I've also seen his standup, but thought it was pretty  bland, and I…
