Heh…long form.

Go away. I'm Batin'!

I was hoping someone would mention Living in Oblivion.

I'm waiting to buy The Grammar of Cock. It's like The Grammar of Rock, but with… you know.

One thing I couldn't help but notice is that while the movie takes place in the early sixties, the crowd at the parade near the end is full of people with afros, plaid bell-bottoms, giant sideburns and the like. I wonder if it was so noticeable at the time, or if the change in fashion that happens in less than a…

When I saw the Pharcyde a couple of years ago, Fatlip at one point launched into a little diatribe about how there were all sorts of rumors that the band had broken up because he was a crackhead and whatnot.

Orson Welles?

Portland, Oregon by Loretta Lynn and Jack White has always been a favorite of mine. A good one addressing the aftermath of a significant other's one night stand is Crown by Mason Jennings. Brilliant songwriting, both of them.

On the other hand, they're still giving M. Night Shyamalan money.

Yes, but no one still rewards big success if it comes before thirty years of failure. They aren't making movies for sentimental reasons.

I actually totally agree. I'm just not sure that it's the kind of thing this article means by "bipartisan."

I never meant to imply that Iannucci's satire was safe at all. It's biting as hell. I only meant vague in the sense that it doesn't generally apply to any one party or worldview. He's saying that most or all politicians are fundamentally dysfunctional.

Or maybe I was reading up on Warren Beatty, or California legislator Sheila Kuhl.
