Matt Taibbi's Got Something to Say!
Matt Taibbi sometimes channels HST too much for me, but his breakdown of the current possible solutions being offered by Congress is pretty insightful, if a bit bleak:

IMDB External Reviews
Not really related - but don't know where else to post: How come AV Club reviews/links have been pulled from IMDB.com's "external reviews" sections?

His name was Roy…he was HILARIOUS.

You Missed Out on the Make-Up Sodomy?
Missed Out, Baby!

I feel like Ed is a forgotten gem of dramedy quality. yes, it's partly a forced quirkfest - like Garden State: The Series before Garden State was made. but it's also just a pleasant hour of television that works quite nicely and involves Michael Ian Black and bowling.

Thanks, everyone.

Thanks - much obliged

Fringe
Noel (and all the rest of you commenteers)

Funny Books
I'm sure this has been covered to the nth degree elsewhere, but has anyone here read the Buffy and/or Angel comics from Dark Horse/IDW? And if so - any good? I'm speaking specifically about "Season 8" and "After the Fall." I read the first two Arcs of Season 8 and thought it was meh. I don't really dig…

Season 5 is truly impressive - there's some wandering in the beginning/middle. But once you hit "Hole in the Earth?" Fuhgeddaboutit. I was bowled over by it, and I hadn't even watched any of the previous seasons (the first season really turned me off - i have since rectified this).

I see what you did there…

Animation Show Vol 3 intro?
Isn't this the same animation that Judge used for the Animation Show volume 3 intro but with new audio?

Adult Swim Games
Are any of the Adult Swim games any good? They seem to have semi-funny premises, but I'm curious how much fun the actual game is.

Weird/fun fact about Squadron Supreme: Following the death of the writer Mark Gruenwald, he was cremated & his ashes were mixed with the ink used in the first TPB of Squadron Supreme.

since this movie will probably be a mixed bag
with people being fairly ambivalent about this movie - sounds like good scenes, good characters but not a coherent whole - it's time to look to the future, i say!

Thanks, Nork.

Nerdy Question
Does anyone know if the editing Tarantino has done in the past few months have altered it from the Cannes premiere in any significant way? Just askin.

The Party Crasher?
Is that Stephen Lang as the scarred gray haired guy who looks surprised by something (at 00:39)? aka "The Party Crasher" from the blockbuster action comedy Fox/Woods classic film "The Hard Way." Huh.

Does anyone know if it's all Joe Johnston or if some of it is Mark Romanek's leavins? Still never saw 'One Hour Photo', but i think Romanek's videos are pretty cool lookin.

I'm with Plith - come to Boston! (and thus am i a conformist?)
