There was definitely something sneaky about listening to music that had a physical presence that your parents could discover. Now it's generally just digital stuff, and a band name or album artwork won't get you busted; the parents would have to LISTEN to it to know it was there.

I only know that song because Ben Folds covered it.

I really liked his backing work on Billy Corgan's "Tolovesomebody."

It's just "Raspberry Swirl." It's not like he's doing that to "Cornflake Girl."

Once this movie hits $5 bargain status at the local movie place of film, I will totally go see it. I like Tom Cruise as a performer, you see, and I like science fiction, ESPECIALLY in film, where there is usually a budget to help it look like science fiction, and I was up for this unless it was savaged. A critical…

I thought the problem was Hedlund's utter lack of charisma and believability. He was out-acted by every single other actor in the film, and he's the STAR of the whole thing!

I also like how you don't have to take it that way. Once I realized what people said the ending was, I haven't really been able to take it any other way.

Knight and Day is really fun. The only distraction, at least for me, is Cameron Diaz' face. It's getting up there and she's doing things to it or something.

I'll probably only ever have my Khajiit, but yeah, while debating whether to join Stormcloaks or Colonel Tigh, I did some research and realized that as a not Nord, it was probably in my best interests, as a hypothetical, to join the Imperials.

I erred in my estimation of how events could proceed. Roose's betrayal is very important and I seem to have forgotten that somehow.

Or at least Papa Roach.

Since I felt Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the best band on the planet for a while ("Show Your Bones" and "Is Is" is a heck of a 1-2 punch, and the albums before and after weren't too shabby, neither), I'll take even a letdown without reservation.

That's where I got it!

Catelyn murderating a special needs person is probably something worth passing on. It's not the kind of event the show needs or HBO wants to explain.

Sorry, didn't know, but I see idiotking agrees anyway, so all is well.

They could easily remove Bolton from the wedding and simply have him wake up and smell the dead direwolves afterwards. I know the hardcore book adaptation folk will scream from Dorne to Casterly Rock, but it wouldn't change much on screen.

That would be a good way to work in more plot and less constant torture.

I really dislike it when villains get themselves captured without a real good reason. I know the reason is usually "plot", and I understand that, I truly do, but mostly it just seems like a way for everyone to hang without everything in the balance doing the same.

Thomas has said the movie realistically needed $5 million to be what he wanted. $2 million was like bottom of the barrel if he had to squeeze by. Now he just more or less gets the budget he wanted all along to make the movie he wants to make.

I liked almost all of Argo; I just didn't like being asked to buy into the phone call fact-checking at the airport. It felt so contrived for a story that seemed to want to do things in a tense but not overly melodramatic way. And then the chase on the tarmac…. Still, I liked it a lot.
