Oh god, there's one of these now?

The Dornish are supposed to be the equivalent of Spain. So why the fuck put a Chilean in there, you racists!? Not the same thing! Actually, didn't they all have red hair in the books, or am I confusing that with his name. I always envisioned them looking like red-haired and freckled Conan O'Brians.

Watched "No", the Chilean film about an ad exec who helps design a campaign to vote out Pinochet in the 70s. It was fine, the 80s-style video that the movie was shot on might have bothered me more in a theater, but it was charming at home,

Don't worry about Gandolfini. Worry about the fact that the Beatles had already broken up at that age in their lives. I'm even older, so I'm not knocking age. I'm coming up on Homer's age, at least in the earlier episodes of the Simpsons.

what if penny met a dinosaur?

Chaplin really thought cocaine was funny. The bit in Modern Times where he eats the cocaine sandwich (and, this is why it always kills me, goes back for more bites) is my favorite scene in that movie, aside from any one that doesn't show off Paulette Goddard.

They are a lot like Dirty Three in that I hear their name thrown out a lot when people are talking about the forefathers of Post Rock, but I've listened to several of their albums and they're not sticking with me. When I hear Young Team (do people really refer to the actual album as Mogwai Young Team) I hear some…

Oooh I was hoping you were going to say Post Manticore, because those monsters are fucking dangerous.

Check on WBShop, they regularly have Digibooks and special editions that are almost OOP pretty cheap- the Exorcist that is going for 31.xx on Amazon is available for 13.xx. I don't know enough about the various Exorcist versions to know which one is the coveted one, but I do know that people have picked up OOP WB…

Craig, I'm referring to the 1920s silent version, not the one that Chaplin himself touched up in the 40s and added sound and narration. If you're wondering how much of a sourpuss I am, I don't particularly like that version much either. Both the MK2 DVD and the Criterion Blu have both cuts, but, while the MK2 20s…

No. And Benjamin Button was where we had serious words.

The first time I've ever kept my old DVD was after watching Criterion's Gold Rush. Those annoying sound effects on the cabin tipping scene. I don't give a shit about music; add all the music you like. But I'm a little more wary of adding sound effects into silent movies just to do it, and the "creaking noise" was…

Pastor of Muppets?
Something something worship our felt-covered lord

I will attack… And you don't want that.

Jock Jams 1 has The Power, Everybody Everybody and Pump Up The Volume. Sure, there's a lot of crap, but that is some good 1990 jam right there.

There was a video game tournament at the mall last weekend, which I realized as I went there. Walking through the people carrying their joysticks and jumping and screaming while watching other people play Marvel Vs Capcom was basically like going to another country and experiencing a foreign culture. I play videogames…

What? The last episode of The Wire was awesome.  Showing how the new McNulty, the new Bubs, the new Omar formed, that was my singular favorite moment from the series.

That's basically why every crappy superhero movie gets made now: it's for sure why the Amazing Spider-Man was made, and I believe Superman Returns.

There was one playing on Cain's bizarre campaign ad that said "Love's Seemingly Bad Campaign Ad Parody" that basically sealed the deal that this guy is Herman Cain.  

Colony Collapse is a capital-c Classic.  My favorite background joke: Gob's one-night-stand thinks his name is "Joe Withabee".  Also, the "Olvidame-Ahorita" at the Mexican drugstore.
