My favorite bit about The Town: the trailers played up the fact that it was "from the acclaimed director of Gone Baby Gone" without ever mentioning that it was, y'know, Ben Affleck. Because ew.

I'm torn between actually doing this and making fun of this. But if I've learned anything from the internet, it's that earnestness is always rewarded and supported.

Well, Binky, the only thing that brings me more joy than the Aryan harmonies of ABBA is the notion of Germany over all.

Dancing Queen
Yup. It's a good song. It brings me joy. It's how I'd like my last moments to be.

Teacher, teacher, teach me love
I can't learn it fast enough

wtf is radiohead lol

He is a noted enemy of joy, though. I think we can all agree on that.

3rd Prize: Wait, Rupert Holmes is Harry Nilsson? They didn't talk about that in the documentary at all!

Howl:
Kind of a shitty movie. Discuss?
