how about "balaclava"? I had to look that one up. "Ski mask" just wouldn't cut it, eh?

I'm pretty sure Garageband was invented
so that plebes like me could cut that stupid intro off of Nelson and Haggard's "Pancho and Lefty."

I am the walrus?

Really? The idea of a people selling what is most valuable to them, what could make them extremely important and powerful, in order to get their fix, is bizarre to you?

who?
"…The Beatles, a quartet of lovable mop tops from Liverpool renowned for their tight pants and infectious ditties"

.
This was definitely the most mainstream and accessible of Bahrani's films, introducing the central tension in the first ten seconds or so. The flaming extrovert/guy who just wants to be left alone dynamic reminded me of Thomas McCarthy's "The Station Agent."

autism already looks like bird flu, if you're autistic enough.

Hey I know —

eh?
"Brandi has survival instincts, too, though they're all geared toward self-preservation."

[makes laser sound]
Can Sharlto Copley teach me how to make that laser sound? Golly, that's neat.

Why do all AH titles have colons?
It's so they can shit on plebes like me, isn't it?

Seriously? Curdled, Cleaner and Point of No Return?
when movie critics write that a movie feels "familiar" and then list a bunch of movies nobody but movie critics ever saw.

Hey…
this is like an AV Q&A/Gateways to Geekery teamup, isn't it?

A new thought in the shower this morning…
apropos of nothing Zandlen has to say, but…

How exactly does one point at the internet?

Skip "Woman Chaser" and read "Big, Little." It'll take you a while.
