You know how you can tell when someone's a marathon runner? Don't worry they'll fucking tell you. In lengthy, boring detail.

Does anyone here watch this show on On Demand? If so, have you ever read the episode descriptions? What's going on there? Who writes them?

One million likes. The fucking bare feet just had to be out, didn't they?

Totally agree on Francis Underwood. I can't enjoy that show at all. But The Americans? I think they're nicely complex characters doing some very nasty things.

This is indeed a fine film. I would also like to say that it is, through no fault of its own, the perfect example of bad/trite movies ruining good ones for me. I realized about 2/3 of the way through that I was waiting tensely for the moment when he gets his ass kicked in the bar they frequent. He doesn't, but it's…

I don't know if I agree with this song, but I love it.

How do you find that many words that sound like "California?"

Wait, who is Oberyn's "little hoodrat friend?" I stepped out for a minute, and I haven't read the books in some time.

Yes, this! I know McSweeney's gets a bad rap around here sometimes, but this is the first thing I think of whenever I hear this song now. I also love the McSweeney's article regarding improvements to the Hotel California suggested by management after "Mr. Henley's" recent complaint.

It was my favorite too. Thanks for the help.

Fox keeps asking Mulaney to show them all the blueprints.

Red Zone Cuba?

I think in some MST3K book that came out (I forget the name) they actually say something to the effect that Manos was hard to do because it was almost too bad and too boring.

I'm going to have to disagree about Jim Morrison having a great voice. Mike Nelson has a piece in one of his books where he basically asks the reader to imagine hearing Morrison singing "Light My Fire," then imagine your 40-year-old dad singing it in the shower while soaping up his "beefy arms." There is indeed little…

Just adding to the praise, I suppose, but Todd Snider is the best singer/songwriter out there. If you hear the phrase "singer/songwriter" and cringe, think of him as a great folk musician, but without all the pretentious bullshit people hate about folk singers. I've been seeing him live in all sorts of venues for…

I'm gonna screw this up a bit: Layla is the name of the woman in a Spanish jarta, love poems written by the Arabic conquerors of Spain. The story of the poem is one of unrequited love, similar to what Clapton felt for Patty. Or something. I knew this when I was a Spanish major reading Spanish lit so many years ago.

No, no. "Church social."
