Brad Bird didn't do Wall-E. That was all John Lasseter.

The only way I can listen to Tommy anymore is as the second disc in that deluxe Live At Leeds that came out a while back, where they improv the shit out of it and it still hangs together.

Second or third or whatever on Arthur and Paris 1919. That's a couple of fantastic albums.

Yeah, it would be appropriate for our national drinking song to have been written by the dude who was the closest thing America ever got to Mussolini.

Randy Newman, Motherfuckers.
God I love Good Old Boys. I'm pretty sure I have three copies in the house: the CD I first heard it on, a vinyl copy I found cheap somewhere, and the 2-disc Rhino edition mentioned that presents Randy's demo version of the actual storyline. He's hilariously crabby throughout, as though…

Hey me too!

Yes, but the name for the material comes from the name for the place. Without a China the country, we'd presumably be calling white breakable plates something else.

I guess if you're going to be wrong, you might as well be wrong twice.

Fucking hell, great googly moogly has been around forever. The Cadets use it in "Stranded in the Jungle" (1956) and they're using it as a REFERENCE.

@urtext: We haven't all seen Cat in the Hat, because some of us knew enough to avoid that turd from the beginning.

I don't care about the level of violence — it was shocking for mainstream comics in the 80s, and if it is in the movie too, whatever. I'm just saying that the story itself isn't special enough to warrant being told without Moore's structuralist hijinks.

Well, now I just feel like an idiot.

Those are exactly my feelings. Without the narrative folding in on itself and the deconstructionist games played with the imagery, Watchmen is just another third-rate story in a digest sci-fi mag.

Spelling is not grammar.

The Unrepentant Racist and Date Rapist On The Go are two different guys. Or at least they're two different characters. For all I know everyone else here is one hyperactive dude.

The other guy's a floundering stage magician, and Rabble's commenting on the internet at work.

Wait, what?
Being humiliated brings pleasure to whose brain, exactly? I'd appreciate it if the sub/dom community wouldn't presume to speak for the rest of us.

Then you haven't heard enough Nilsson.

Talk about finding a way to fuck perfectly good vodka up.

@Bob: I laughed out loud, then muttered "asshole" affectionately.
