FIGHT!

For Toasterlad and all other fans of Superego's H.R. Giger: I thought that was just a crazy brilliant guess of how a death-obsessed biomechanic-fetishizing Swiss artist would sound. But apparently that's exactly what he talks like: ‘Womens make me often suffering so much.’

1. Interesting, the thing about Oxbridge reminds me of the idea that Americans go to Paris and think all of the French are rude as a result. Whereas Paris is The Big City in France, and Parisians seem less rude than alot of New Yorkers — and that should be the real comparison anyway.

Boy oh boy. I love St. Elsewhere. But is Todd actually saying that comedy ages better than drama? I sure don't think so. It's the same reason that comedy films from Hollywood don't do well internationally: References are lost. And also things like timing are lost.

Hyden you're gonna be in big trouble with our Dark Lord for comparing his favorite son to the Decemberists' guy.

Successful Feces!

After almost never meeting anyone who shared my pop culture sense AND was available romantically, I went with a girl to a free screening of Touch of Evil. We both enjoyed it.

I think xXx was the Rob Cohen & Vin Diesel's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on the chemical weapons fastboat/submersible. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three Vin Diesel albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Diesel,

I remember hearing that he had HIV and feeling bad for the guy, despite the fact that I only watched this show sporadically when I was very young. I guess that's just the effect of pop culture at a young age.

Well, there's a little more to it in the books, but all you have to know is when and where he's from. I dislike framing stories in movies in general — for example, the one in Saving Private Ryan.

How was the Framing Story? Because I heard that was the thing dragging the first part of the movie down. And speaking as a semi-fan of the books, it's pretty droppable. It doesn't add anything at all, and I think a movie would be better served with John Carter wearing his Civil War uniform and just waking up on Mars.

You must live in Super Tuesday Country, son. (Cuntry, if you will).

So James Cameron is the Father of Lies? True Lies?

My College invited him to speak in the '90s, on the subject of Science Fiction. He segued very smoothly into one of his favorite subjects, it seemed (hadn't heard of him myself, he wasn't a classic like Asimov, Clarke, Herbert et. al). That subject? The coming race war.

Can't wait to get my Day of the Triffids(tm) glasses at Burger King!

"Apish"? Really? Seems like it should be Apeish. Apish sounds like it was put together by bees.

Yeah, well THAT was the table that was picking on my table.

So 'Jim', you're still going from site to site, finding a story for which you can repeat Rush Limbaugh's comments (in this case, verbatim. I wonder how someone who made his maid buy drugs for him still maintains that drug users should be sent to jail for 30 years).

Destroy all Monsters Yankee Fans!

Just like IKEA!
