In 1995, I was 13 and a huge Nirvana fan, still reeling from Kurt's death, so I was excited about Dave's new band. I liked the first album a lot. I thought the Mentos video was funny at the time, and a couple of friends and I played "Big Me" at a town talent show - badly. The second album was okay, maybe even a little…

I'll say it: I liked this movie. I wasn't expecting much, but it was entertaining. Still beats the shit out of the last two piss-poor sequels. Nowhere as near as good as the criminally-canceled TSCC, but I'll take a semi-competent fanservice sequel at this point. It's the best sequel since T2, though that might be…

Yeah, they could totally get Roland Kickinger.

That's the second "GOT chick" to play Sarah Connor.

The "fist fuck" part is great to yell in traffic.

Guilty as charged…sort of. I'm from the northern suburbs, but not a rich one by any means. I've been to Brockton, but only briefly for a few errands and not the real shitty parts. I got a call for a job opportunity in New Bedford a few months ago. I asked my friends what they thought, and they told me fuck no, don't…

Buddhism is about the realization that life is full of pain and suffering, and learning to cultivate an inner calm by meditation that allows you to distance yourself from the angst of the immediate moment and meditate on the greater rhythm of things.

You have a point. I consider myself a pretty hardened Masshole, and Lynn is the one city I will do all in my power to avoid going to. Lynn scares the fuck out of me. Salem, on the other hand, I will traipse about downtown for beer and lunch with no worries.

True, teenagers still get murdered for acting like teenagers today, if they're black and it's by a cop, or just some asshole playing wannabe cop….

I'm laughing my ass off here because I live not far (40 minutes) from Salem, have a friend who lives there, and the top picture is a statue she always makes fun of as looking like a lady dancing on a turd. It's cut off at the bottom here, but that's totally what it looks like.

The Kojak.

What's ironic is, in the book version of the scene, GRRM specified that they shaved Cersei all over as part of her humiliation, including her pubic hair AND head hair (guess HBO also stopped short there because they didn't want to make Lena Headey too "ugly" either), yet this is like, the one scene in the show where…

THANK YOU. It's like, nobody can comprehend the concept of degrees of badness.

Well, I'd have done it, but I manscape.

Thanks, Trent, also, for allowing you to have a cartoonishly stereotypical view of what depressed people act like, and associate an entire man's musical output, and an entire affliction, with a couple of assholes that you knew.

"How old are you?"
"21, sir!"
"Get in the chair."

I realized a few years ago that "Head Like a Hole" is a parody of libertarians/Randroids/other "Fuck you, I got mine" types, and it made me like the song even more. "Capital G" is along the same lines, too, though it's not as good a song.

Is that possibly the one way cassettes were better?

"Wish" is cathartic to crank while stuck in a traffic jam. Particularly if you scream the "Fist FUCK!" bit.

Yeah, I'll give you this. Still a huge Trent fan, but I find that I can't listen to "Something I Can Never Have" anymore. I thought it was great when I was a depressed 14 year old, now I think it just sounds wangsty. Same thing with "That's What I Get", sounds like a kid pining over the first girl that ever let him…
