That's what I was trying to think of, the suicide that was forced to become a receptionist. Thanks!

I'm taking all my likes and giving them to you.

Interesting you said "him", although I'd have to agree that, if he allowed this, he probably is a he. The best we can hope for is to save our entire lives, and then piss it all away the last six months of our life on medical bills to keep our non-sentient selves alive. The only worse thing to contemplate is that this…

Waylon too, but Bob Wills is still the king.

Robert Hunter isn't exactly an underrated songwriter, but it always cracks me up that many of the songs are misogynist and about murder (Jack Straw to take one example, I mean the first lines are "we can share the women, we can share the wine" for god's sake), and none of the knee-jerk hippie audience seems to notice…

Sammy Hagar!

Having grown up Southern Baptist, there is NO WAY I'll take that bet - the hypocrisy is staggering.

WIth Big Bird as the Council Consigilere. "Nice cows you have here, Mr. Farmer. Be a shame if something happened to them."

Bass solos - OK. Popping during warmups/sound check - dismissal.

He was just standing his ground.

My ex-wife and I, when we were still married, had a Mickey and Minnie doll, and then I won a cheap, small, but cute lion at a county fair. My ex put the lion in between Mickey and Minnie and called it "the interrupt lion" as a joke. I don't have feelings for my ex anymore, except for a wish for her to get another…

My theory is: it's when we still had leaded gas and cars got like 8 miles to the gallon, so everybody was the Mad Hatter. If you lived in the Inland Empire in those days, you breathed this air daily that makes current Beijing look like Yosemite.

RIP….comrade. (winks)

Exactly, in this group the Birch/Enid character would be more popular, because the geek ratio is pretty high in here (not that there's anything wrong with that).

He's not really a person but more of a meme now. so that might not be possible.

I'm probably the only one who liked the other Clowes adaptation, Art School Confidential (you've gotta admit that Malkovich is good in that, at least), but yes American Splendor blew my mind in a way that hasn't happened in many years - here is a way to go that I hadn't thought of before. How nice.

"I'M BACK FOR MORE, BROTHER!"
"That's cold, Jay."

Too late! I already do that - as a recovering drunk, I can spot another one a mile away. It really *is* like gaydar, except with booze.

I'd say Duty Now for the Future. That's got "the day my baby gave me a surprise", Clocked Out, and Smart Patrol/Mr DNA, and really rocks from start to finish. It's hard for me to separate my feelings from the music though, as I was about 18 at the time when it was released and extremely depressed about high school…

There are cases where a shot-for-the-sake-of-it works, like that long take in Gun Crazy where you see the robbery from the POV of the static camera in the back seat. It works because the rest of the movie is pretty formulaic. But it's still worth it to watch the movie and say "what a scene"! Directors with more…
