Roddy McDowell's performance here sells it all for me.  It's up there with that woman in Invaders chasing the saucers and Telly Savalas freaking out over the doll in all-time great TZ acting performances.  The twist was telegraphed, or at least the fact that being just like us isn't a good thing (is there a count of…

I could smell more or less where the twist would be coming from, but I didn't quite know it until the reveal of the wall, so it was great for me.

Plus, they keep saying "they're just like us", hammering you over the head with it.  It gets to the point where you're expecting some horrible thing we do to come back and bite us.  I thought they were going to make a coat out of him.

No one can! He just picked a crappy ghostwriter.  I have a hard time thinking Slash is capable of the flowerly descriptions in his bio.  None of these guys are able to do that.  If they could, they'd be writers. 

Or his question before that: "Where does THIS guy work?" Even he can't believe this guy's employable.

What about when Sterculious, the god of feces, showed up at a tractor rally? I watched it all the time and saw that one only once.

I can't conclusively say this was the best "episode", but I don't care as much for the episodes as the commenting bits.  Their take on the foot fetish is a classic; it's the high point of the season for me.

Plus that was how the old Butthead in the Pipe episode ended, even with the reporters and everything.  But that was like decades ago. 

It ruined my image of Brando's character, though.  What is he saying? Is he saying some deep commentary about the darkness in a person when they finally convert into a total warrior? No, Brando was just rambling, the camera was rolling, and he didn't read the book beforehand or prepare for the part at all.

I'm trying not to sound like a hipster or a luddite or something, but I really watch very little new TV (right now I'm going through old Twilight Zones when I want to watch something shorter).  I wasn't that interested at all when I heard that B&B was coming back, and I watched the first episode and have really been…

It's kind of like "Elegy", where, at the time, the limitations of TVs allowed for shittier quality and no one cared.  People are blinking when they're supposed to be statues, you can't see farther than 6 feet behind the person in a shot done on video, all that doesn't matter if you have one of those old box TVs with…

I just Altavistad Google.  Did you know how popular that thing is now?

It's making me think certain flowers and mushrooms will make me superhuman.  Time to transition that into real life.  Where's the nearest opium plant?

The article didn't say their unborn child was gestating inside the wife.  I assumed it was growing inside of a goat. 

Puuuuberty Looooove

What about that Bon Jovi song where he sings to R2D2? That's not on there? Forget this.

For some reason I like when bands do this.  I have been listening to the Sufjan Stevens Christmas EPs a lot lately (has anyone ever done a sweeter version of "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing"?), so this release probably hits me at the right time.

Glad someone else brought this up.  Once I had Loveless, there was no need for Siamese Dream. 

is there chanting?

Are we in agreement that Person Pitch is the best AC solo album there is? Because that's what I think and I don't know anyone else to whom I could ask this.  Except for you all, of course.
