i did like this film. i cannot say i watched it entirely, or thoroughly. the director's theme is, as noted in this article, well-honed and poignant.

americathon had so many great bits, in retrospect. living in cars. bicycling, walking, roller skating on the freeways. the roller skating kid. the monty getting shot bit. the ventriloquists! narration by george carlin. just a lot going for it.

i did mention them in the sonant coefficients. they're heard when you read the post aloud. best heard when using your best approximation of a daffy duck voice.

i beg to disagree with the esteemed mr. clark. you will find a multitude of quotes worth repeating in desperate living. it is a film so fondly recalled in detail throughout the pages of that wondrously besmirched tome shock value. please do see the non-spoiling quote i deem a favorite among many favorites:

yeah, @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus . it's the kirk douglas one. another queued-and-viewed after its mention in some article this past week. just didn't hold my sleep-addled attention.

hey, i wanna play semantic switcheroo too. *to be heretorfore typed as Tarkovsky's AD might*

moon's day - tyr's day
 
finished most of the final two episodes of portlandia - season 1. lotsa work by those guys. i can appreciate their passions, but it's not all for me.
 
wotan's day
 
started peep show season 1. first two episodes left me cold. i visited the show again on saturday. i might give it a chance later on,…

good luck to all you guys leaving for brighter horizons.

that's a three-way package store, folks, called liquor paves the ways to christ saves. ride, bike or walk. any way you get to the window is good enough. RIP, el maestro. so glad I got to see you in 2003.

if the theme is "x", then I lobby for racer x by big "ol' bully baitin'"  black

they ain't gonna talk about bergman. they ain't gonna talk about owsley. but thanks for pointing me to another not-so-covert firesign film. Zachariah was tits! I've reserved americathon at  the library.

frye v. daubert? admissible evidence? 'splain please.

k.i.s.s. my brujeria, necrófagos.

tyr's day

totally absorbing, will harris. excellent job. thing that gave me the biggest headspin was his casually mentioning that he'd adapted walker percy's second coming for the screen.

the flick bored me too, and i too love carpenter. i respect what they did; how they did it; and the influences that brought them together. still wasn't interested. i certainly have no works of my own to propose as counterargument, just whinging and caterwauling.

please let's start a thread about his live shows. i'll open. i had the good fortune of making will call for ricky jay: on the stem. such a good time. awesome to proximally feel the magnetism others describe, and i concur with, re his movie roles.

first encountered the cure in 1986 when i bought a vinyl copy of  head on the door. i wanted total punk, but got strangled pop. it was intriguing enough to continue exploring. my favorites are the dark trilogy, especially faith. love the literary springboards robert smith uses. i mean, doesn't each of the dark trilogy…

i'm endorsing your reaction, @avclub-323ca7b091beb1b26cc7a2612f1475d5:disqus . i'm getting the same tingles i did when i saw the 1978 superman as a freshly minted seven-year-old.

i agree that site's purposefully obfuscating and contumacious, but when i listened only to terrorizer's world downfall almost exclusively back in 2005 i sought out any review that evoked my sense of that record's absolute power. theirs did, despite its jargon and shibboleths. no, i'm not the guy who runs the site; i…
