I loved how the one Sack daughter was so skinny, clearly anorexic. It was always a good visual joke, here standing next to her mom and sister (who was about to get married).

I believe I read way back when in a Thrasher interview that Glen originally wrote 'Archangel' for Dave Vanian and the Damned. Not sure what happened but Samhain ended up doing it on 'Initium'.

@ Heller - All too sad because Dez, the man who left Flag (or was forced out) because he had so much more to fucking share with the world, the son of semi-legendary producer Ozzie Cadena, maybe the last singer Flag had before people began to (rightly or wrongly) question their vision… this same Dez is now borrowing…

You know, he doesn't get credit for it but I bet you Morrissey could hold his own in a fight, seriously.

That's what my mother-in-law was for. Everything our boy did for the first, well, up until now, is a sign of autism. That and it's inevitable that he's going to drown in the toilet bowl or something. Relentless.

The novelization is right here you dimwits: http://cgi.ebay.com/C-H-O-M…

Hey C.H.O.M.P.S., I may have said this before but I saw 'C.H.O.M.P.S.' in the theater when I was 5 years old. I fuckin' loved it!

For me, what sucks the most, besides the obvious…
For me, what sucks the most besides the obvious, is that after the hip replacement, after the cancer, after living in working-class America decade after decade… a simple medical prescription mistake took his life. All the more sad.

This movie was cool when when I was 33.

I liked this movie. It had all the usual cheap thrills but also I thought the father/son relationship was fascinating, the way their roles were almost inverted. I'd never seen anything quite like that.

Oh, it's a 'he'. It's always a 'he'. But there I am being anecdotal again.

Bfred - Let's talk about the all-powerful teacher's union. Guggs says that they received this latitude in lieu of financial compensation over the arc of 40 years. If they are truly the real problem (and I don't believe that, I simply know too many teachers) and that problem resulted in this Faustian bargain by…

@ Superman's Kryptonite - Parental Apathy - When referring to the charter schools he said: 'You can't ignore them, because they're doing so incredibly well, and they're sending 90 percent of their kids to college. And they've disproven a bunch of strongly held beliefs, like you couldn't break the sound barrier. You…

Well played, Mr. Tanguy.

Why does everyone think 'dark' when people mention what Nolan did for Batman? I think what (smart) people mean when they reference that creator/franchise combination is that they 1) created a tone that MATCHED the character(s) and 2) actually, thoroughly, thought about the story/universe that the character(s) would…

Hey Cindy fans, check out 'Taboo II", the second movie in the famed Kay Parker movie series.

Yup.

What's 'wrong' with David Yow? He just happens to be cut from different cloth than 99% of the people in the U.S., that's all.

Truth hurts, doesn't it Jennifer?

If Superchunk pioneered 'indie-rock'…
… then I pioneered the Oregon Trail. Which I didn't. And their best record wasn't even on Merge, so…
