I really loved the first 8 or 10 issues of the Invisibles, but I couldn't get in to the Filth, just came across as being horribly contrived. Maybe I should give it another chance though.

Not the size but the volume? huh? Cutting it up seems like a fairly bad idea since you'd also have to slice up the footnotes. You really just have to bone up and stop being a wimp.

yeah thank god for rechargeable batteries which allow us a mobile reading device. Used to be that the only way to disemenate language was a machine which would tattoo words on your flesh over and over until you were dead. The "written" word was much less popular back then as you can imagine.

Clinical depression is a horrible and debilitating condition and no one really has a clue about the demons DFW was struggling with in his last days. At the same time though there was never anyone more aware of the impact his suicide would have on the people around him. If he was unmarried and his parents were dead I…

My school's grading scale goes to 11.

At some point this summer someone in my family will casually suggest going to see the Proposal and I will give tacit approval. It's not that I think anything in that movie will make me laugh or that it really has anything to show me that I haven't already seen in the preview, but rather that I think I will enjoy…

Michael gets a pass for his Jackson 5 work alone, never mind Off the Wall or Thriller. Of course his output has been so scant since the mid-90s that he hasn't really needed a pass for a while anyhow.

Thing is Mike Judge hasn't needed a pass for anything.

A.I. is an amazing movie hamstrung by Spielberg's superfluous crap. It's so frustrating to see Kubrick's touches here and there and then: a WACKY animated character voiced by Robin Williams! Or what should be a powerful scene of androids being publicly destroyed before a cheering audience rendered powerless by a…

Nah edked there' s about 1.5% of all DJs who actually are talented and innovative, the rest are hacks who think they're actually creating something.

I used to work in a record shop with a bunch of guys who hated McCartney, they would bitch and moan whenever one of his songs came on about how all of his songs sound like a musical theater production. I never really saw where they were coming from but now I'm starting to. Anyone else see Colbert interview a…

The entire plotline in Sparta after Leonidas leaves was not in the book and, was undoubtedly the worst thing about 300. Snyder piled on a bunch of gimmicky camera work, since he didn't have Miller's vision to crib from, in an attempt to hide the fact that he can't really direct dialogue or develop characters with…

People just didn't understand the soul patch. That shit was wicked!

This reminds me of back in '86 when my brother and I used to drive around in his Fiero listening to Ride the Lightning looking for homophones to beat up.

A lot of people are recommending runs of comics that aren't actually available as graphic novels or are out of print. Be prepared to dish out a few K if you want to collect all the back issues, or just get a demonoid account like everyone else. No one has mentioned Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library books, the first…

So journalists should be judged on their musical tastes? Huh? The people who write for RS about politics and pop culture are, for the most part, mutually exclusive. It's exciting that people who buy a magazine because the Hills cast is on the cover get exposure to writers like Taibbi. Getting worked up about your…

Somehow the Taibbi haters here consider him to be too elitist and and too mainstream at the same time. Bravo.

I think he's more referring to Joseph Smith, Heaven's Gate, Jim Jones, Manson family, Left Behinders, Loose Changers, and Bush voters.
