I haven't really been following The Flaming Lips lately, are the vocals usually this Bowie-esque?

I'm not the hugest fan of Speed, but there's something incredibly enthralling about that premise - I was pretty young when it came out, but we kids were really intrigued by the premise and were trying to figure out ways out it. It's a high-concept story that actually works.

Realism is overrated.

I've read the three interviews that George Meyer has given so many times, and I'd be tickled pink if the AV Club could get him for an interview. He's a little reclusive, but also gives fantastic interviews (actually he was interviewed for that PBS documentary series about TV, so it's not impossible)

If you're reading this and have never seen Boomtown, go do it right now. It's amazing.

This is my favorite of these so far!

Yeeeeep. I had to turn it off about five minutes in. Absolute garbage,

Yeah, my friends were referring to another one of my friends the other days as a MPDG. It's kind of unsettling, because real people have agency and aren't just around to change the life of one man.

It gets big numbers too. Not Walking Dead big, but HBO big.

I'm not really a Leafs fan despite being in Toronto, but it warms my heart how well they're doing this year. The fact that Montreal, Winnipeg, Toronto and Ottawa all have really good shots at playoff spots this year showcases what a weird year it's been in the NHL.

Drunkenly caught that one on cable with a couple of friends. It was absolutely awful, it was tonally off the entire time. Shocking, I know.

I feel like I have to take a shower after reading this combination of words.

"These ghosts are trying to kill your family. It is a metaphor for alcoholism or something. "

I really don't like Sailor Jerry. It reminds me of some of those sickly sweet Canadian whiskeys.

I have a lot of basic baking ratios memorized, and with cookies it's just flour:butter:sugar:eggs (sometimes milk I guess).

He seems like a nice enough guy, but any time he pops up on 30 Rock or a Funny or Die video or something he's a total black hole of charisma or character. So, uh, I guess I'll be missing out on this new E! reality series? Darn?

@Scrawler2:disqus : Okay, I'm gonna break my "without comment" addition - I fucking love Speed Racer. It's balls-out insane, but it's a lot of fun and has a gorgeous pastel color pallet. It's the best "live action cartoon" I've seen in years.

Day After Tomorrow is hilarious hate-watching material.

I don't see what your feelings about their later films has anything to do with Lana being a woman.

Speed Racer has a scene where viking racecar drivers are bribed into wrongdoing with fine furs. There is then a shot of the viking racecar drivers lovingly stroking their ill-gotten furs.
