Lurve it.

Any love for "The Bells" around here?

We read "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado" and "MS Found in a Bottle" in seventh grade. The last is probably my favorite Poe.

He found a way.

You know,TLAotA, that's exactly it. I simply can't stand performances that shout "I'M ACTING HERE," which is probably why I loved Jack Black in School of Rock but couldn't stand him in King Kong.

I know what you mean

On Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz there are also Pop-Up Video style text commentaries that are simply delightful. They point out all the homages/references and include fun random facts like the second album Nick Frost ever bought.

Rubinek is one of those guys who shows up from time to time and good things always follow. It's good to know his name, finally - for years he was "Not-Rob Morrow" to me.

Woohoo for the Picard Song!
