I much prefer the irrepressible jazz accompaniment of his Koyaani-scat-si.

I thought St. Louis was the gateway city- one visit will certainly make you want to visit better places.

Way more bangable when smiling rather than smirking as above. I first saw him in "Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns" and fell in luuuurve, just a bit.

I thought they were talking about the composer at first and was annoyed that Berio got shafted by SAG. Again.

Cow's milk chese < raw cow's milk cheese < sheep's milk cheese < goat cheese

Eat more chikin?

Everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty!

No hate for Radiohead? Hmm. Time for some troll bait.

I got into neither the Rolling Stones nor the Doors. The Beatles and the Beach Boys were and are my sixties bands of choice.

Give Powers until volume 7 to win you over. And the art is fabbity fab.

My God. I'm not alone in not getting into "Singin' in the Rain." Thank you, Sensei! I mean, I don't dislike the movie, I think the conceits, music, and performances are excellent, but the movie as a whole doesn't work for me. If we're talking weirdly constructed film musicals, give me "The Court Jester" any day of…

Crap, does this mean I actually have to see the movie before deciding if it's a ponderous, pretentious POS?

I can understand not liking Monty Python based on Holy Grail and Meaning of Life, and a few Flying Circus sketches don't hold up (or have been "honored" ad nauseam), but there's just such a rich vein of comedy there that I'd advise Emily to give the show another chance. I mean, who doesn't love summarizing Proust? As…

I'm just hoping for at least one shot of Dr. Manhattan without the black banana hammock.

Given that every other book I've loved that made it to film, with the exception of The Princess Bride, any book Alfonso Cuaron has made into a film, and on most days, Lord of the Rings, has been mediocre to execrable, Watchmen's chances are not good. As much as I'd love to be surprised, I'm calling "cautious…

Read some Raymond Chandler, then try Watchmen again. Sometimes reading something similar in tone can get you in the right place to enjoy it.

I'm suspicious of any retelling of Beowulf that doesn't involve Grendel's MILF.

No, you're to stay here and make sure he doesn't leave.

I think we might find common ground on "impressive whistling skills" as well.

Good, then there's still hope for James K. Polk!
