'Pictures of You' with it's circular structure is practically tin pan alley.

I can't defend the lyrics, but I do think America is better than the California mellow millieu they come from.

Totz is right—'Young Americans' is what I had in mind above when I said that David Bowie was capable of true poetry:

How can people be so heartless?

It's a false dichotomy.

Jackie Earle Haley
I would have liked for him to do well in this role—but I just keep hearing Rorschach in the ads. And that's not bad in itself, but the reason why Robert Englund's Freddy became iconic was because he was not simply a threatening "shape" or a silent hulk in a hockey mask—he had a grinning, leering

'Machete'!
The only film I have any anticipation for apart from the Coen's remake of 'True Grit'. I didn't dislike the Grindhouse movies as much as some people, and enjoyed quite a bit of them, but what does it mean when the tossoff trailer you throw in as a joke is the best part of a four hour film? It means that

…like mint jelly.

Jeez guys, it's spelled d-e-n-i-a-l as in "somebody's in denial about Donal Logue's coke habit" (unless he cleaned up recently and that's how come he's "best friends" with a drug counselor).

The twins are my least favorite element of the show. They seem to have wandered in from some other, lesser treatment of the subject matter, and their lack of dimension only makes every other character on the show seem more rounded—even that gas station girl had more depth and characterization than they do.

Fuck AMC—are they really showing the same two Rambo movies every night for a week?

Hank is a good "guy" even if he's too buffoonish to be a hero. He's tough though, and capable of brutality, but his heart is in the right place.

I actually thought Gus had planted Walt's lab assistant to learn the recipe and then Gus wouldn't need Walt anymore and could set the twins loose on him.

Hey, Joni, put it all behind you…
(you're the better poet anyhow)

I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere but here are three more
'Checking in' (or something like that) —a spinoff of 'The Jeffersons' where Flo the maid becomes the head of a hotel cleaning service.

Once again—Sarah Palin is not going to run for the presidency because she has no interest in a job with any actual responsibility or accountability—otherwise she'd have finished her term as governor.

Trill is right—His flow was a bit halting, but his vocabulary was better than average and it was the over the top boast and the literate diss that Guru was best at.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it…
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.
