Already a few posts on it but I can't state enough how good most of John Swartzwelder's Frank Burly novelas are (Double Wonderful was great, but unrelated). Cheap, light and easy reads. The best comparison I can give to someone not aware of the material is to imagine the quality of prime era (seasons ~3-8) Simpsons if…

Yes. What all of you wrote.
"Save Me" wins, though admittedly I've had similar thoughts on A rather than B being an ending credit song so can't blame anyone for other recs. But the final shot on Aimee Mann and the subtle change on her face makes it work. Either "Save Me" or the theme to the Fresh Prince.

I thought the first show and first review of the show are OK but i'll admit that finding out about this strange bit of trivia - Purple Aki - entertains me.  I'm from the US and dont' really follow up on Sex offenders from across the Atlantic. Made my day. Never knew this strain of creep existed.

And that he’ll pronounce it “worm ‘ole.”

Chatman is the friggin man (and the PFFR by connection). One of the few artists that I will never steal from. I try to keep up with with these folks are doing but had no idea about this book until clicking this link and can't wait to read it. The dudes never failed me. never.

What I meant is it is difficult for me to really tell if BoC's music is BoC's music or copy of said music. That in turn leads to the difficulty in parsing out how much knowing who created a particular piece of art contributes to my liking it. So I try (I'm sure we all do) to be impartial to art no matter the creator…

I love the BoC, would look forward to any coming music and don't mind this bit of release bukak-sterbation, but there is something about them and other (I know this is too all encompassing) Electronica entities that makes me think twice about their music and art in general. Despite the repeated hours of listening to…

I don't have much to add to any reasonable discussion other than to say that Ricky Jay is the man. I don't believe any of his writings are on eBook and that's fine by me since the illustrations themselves are great to look at and have and display. If there is any disappointment is that there isn't enough Ricky Jay. I…

Article was clear and I agree with most elements. Maybe the most important was an item brushed by (likely due to time and space) and crammed into a sentence.

You kidding? He was the Mayor of Baltimore for Fuck's sake.

Pours internet forty for dead homie.

I've watched many films under various states of mind so it gets murky when it comes to claiming that I have a favorite segment or scene. Well the treehouse scene is up there. The music, the whimsy, the light and context…etc. An amazing scene. If there is a curious reader that is unsure of whether they want to watch…

No doubt someone has quoted it by now but still, one of the best correspondences in the Simpsons (or at least one stuck in my head and use out of context even in serious work conversation).

Picture this:

Well. This is a hell of a Sunday Afternoon reading. It can't be real and I'm thinking it's a subtle commentary on Bronies written in Bronese. Just too much though it does remind me of some Natch Geo doc series where some guy was really obsessed with his car, another with real dolls and another with (if I'm recalling…

If this kind of fantastic happens and I can't get a sniff then I'd rather not hear about it. (Kicks a puppy)

Is it me or does the cat eared girl in the screencap look like Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah it's just me

I've never watched the Good Family but watched the hell out of King of the Hill and I'm guessing your TT reference summarizes the why Nabin wrote what he wrote though it's difficult to confirm if your last few sentences are true (insofar as there is any truth on one person's opinion on another man's opinion on a TV…

I'll admit that it's a bit of a circular mindfuck that: (1) The AVC is a "thing"; (2) the AVC is a "thing"; poppy enought to be referenced by The Simpsons; (3) the Simpsons has been around for 25 years (which is easy to feel relative to the time that has passed); and (4) that I've been reading this website for ~13…
