Feel the beat drop: jazz and hip-hop. Man, I love that song.

Correction: "ZMF-wannabe."

God, I can't imagine a more annoying Internet persona than GLut—a thirteen-year-old firstie-obsessed ZMF? I feel the strong to do something horrible to him using the Internet.

Okay, seriously now, the one-star reviews for that book are just hilarious.

TLAotA, I have always respected and appreciated your comments here, but why would you go out of your way to knock Anne Gedde's picture book of Celine Dion and her baby, MIRACLE: A CELEBRATION OF NEW LIFE? What, do you hate babies? Tasteful photos of babies? Tasteful photos of babies dressed up as flowers and placed…

See for instance, the picture of Brad Pitt in this scene from the movie—

There's also the dumb trend of remaking foreign films as dumbed-down English versions because subtitles are too hard to read and it makes a large demographic uncomfortable to glimpse other cultures. And wasn't there some cooking/mealtime movie that was remade recently just a year or two after it first came out?

Was this entire piece sarcastic?
I'm guessing it was. Because this still sounds and looks god-awful.

I remember there was a scene in the MR. AND MRS. SMITH
where they're (or maybe just he's) wearing some weird stretchy white underwear in a bathroom, and I wondered if it was an unspoken part of the movie that they were really Mormon and wearing those freaky Mormon temple garments with the Masonic symbols. That would…

I question your taste. Is it the only album you've listened to this year?

I like aspects of the music…
…but I just can't seem to get past his voice. Or those dumb-ass lyrics. "Stick up for yourself son / never mind what anybody else does"?! I think those two things together will almost certainly stop me from pursuing this band any further. Way too Barenaked Ladies-like for me, and…

I can't believe Rabin didn't mention or link to that. It was the very first thing I thought of when I heard that.

I heard it was going to be the second good RPG for the PS3. That's just what I heard.

I've never seen this either.
And I don't think I ever want to.

I think this
about the heroes of most romantic comedies.

That swan wings bit
sounds more like a Roald Dahl story from THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR AND SIX MORE. In the story I'm thinking of, a boy has his beloved swan shot, its wings tied to him, and then is tied to railroad tracks by some vicious bullies.

I'm just sayin'…compare the guy to John Mayer and this latest crop of singer-songwriters-whom-no-male-BYU-student-could-ever-enjoy, and Duncan Sheik looks a helluva lot better.

Women can have orgasms?

…
Actually, I have a number of very special-to-me memories soundtracked by that first Duncan Sheik album: watching a sunrise over an Arizona cotton field in a parked car with a pretty girl and being eighteen; driving past frozen waterfalls with a car full of long-ago/still-fondly-remembered friends between Soldotna…
