I love the score, and even though I haven't actually listened to it I'm forever, it gets stuck in my head on a regular basis.

It's kind of great hangover TV. We were once trying to get over the after effects of a vicious bar crawl in San Diego. All afternoon we kept saying we'd go to the beach after we finished just one more episode, but ended up watching damn near all of cycle 7.

I just don't understand how those skinny legs even work. I used to teach business English at a pretty high end design house in Paris and they invited me to one of their shows. A bunch of the models were on the same train as me and watching them run up the stairs (they were all late) I seriously thought their thighs…

Man, that scene in the last season when the army band stops and jams with the high schoolers was just beautiful.

Heb ik eigenlijk al gedaan. Toen ik 16 was heb ik even jaar in Nederland gewoont en nederlands is nog steeds mijn lievlingstaal (en in spreek 5).

But is he that big?

I kinda loved that it was slow. It was just a great world to live in.

I agree that one gets a richer experience by learning the local language, but if people can get by in their community without speaking it, who cares? People know that in order to truly get ahead, they need it. But if they don't speak it, they don't need to get out. American expats ain't exactly known around the world…

My roommate only knew him from Watchmen, so I've taken to calling him Awkward Sex Owl

Goddamn, young Nucky and young Jillian were so great last year.

I read a collection of his stories once and was amazed by how many I recognized as movie adaptations. He also basically wrote Consenting Adults.

Well now my Boardwalk Empire withdrawal is back in a big bad way.

Goddamn that was a great moment. I rewound it and watched it 3 or 4 times. Between that and the episode teaching his kid to fight, he was in my book the strongest player of season 3.

Our film committee used to do Rocky Horror when I was an undergrad, and we would spend the whole year stealing rolls of toilet paper anywhere on campus that we found them, so that every packet we sold at the door had a full roll. It was terribly wasteful and I really should be ashamed, but 200 people each launching…

I thought it was slut for Janet? (It's been a good 15 years since I've been to Rocky)

I was in Lancaster for a conference a few years ago, then went to hike along Hadrian's Wall a bit. I thought the people were just lovely, and I would move there in a heartbeat.

Ugh, there was this overly earnest anti-capitalist folk musician at our farmers market who used to cover Sexy and I know It. I'm not sure what he was trying to say with it, cause all his other songs always had a Message, but it was just terrible.

Didn't mention it was a French oral exam, but I didn't want to make it too easy for you.

I did that on an oral exam once, and it actually worked really well.

It's not like the "bad pussy" line was a focal point of the episode though
