Interesting. I haven't logged on in like two months, and the last two times I've posted I've doubleposted. Weird.

Juno Temple
is going to be Holly Robinson, right? It makes the most sense, what with Hathaway being Catwoman and Robinson being a more "realistic" character in the Bat-mythos.

Is del Toro still bemoaning the lack of originality in Hollywood?
Because it seems like every project he's been attached to in the last six months in an adaptation of a previous property.

Yes, it will be Shia LaBeouf, right after he gets cast as Yorrick in "Y: the Last Man" and Shinji Ikari in Evangelion.

For some reason, I have it in my head that Jeff is around 35 (the same age as Shirley). That'd give him a birthyear of about 1977, making him 7 for Ghostbusters. That's entirely possible.

I had forgotten how well Donald Glover freaks out. His girlish howling in the bathroom both terrified me and made me laugh.

The difference between good guy Triple H and bad guy Triple H is that he's being an asshole to people who deserve it.

I hope I'm not the only one who noticed Ken Jennings threw his pen across the floor after he lost. He was definitely mad at that stupid machine.

When I was at IU, Plan 9 was originally in that horrible downstairs basement storefront on Kirkwood (which was last a clothing boutique, I remember). There's was no real better location for a small-time cult video store. The ceiling leaked, there was no ventilation, and the stairs down to the door were always on the…

B+N has the constant discount, even though you have to pay a membership price. Borders is/was free, but the coupons would come randomly (usually on a Thursday and only good for that weekend).

@CJC? Plan 9's still around? I moved out of Bloomington a while ago (probably a mistake) and it seemed like they were on their last legs. Are they still next to the Vintage Phoenix comic shop?

Free sign-up and *good* discounts. 40% off new releases, 30% off hardcovers (I think) and 10% off everything else. And those discounts stacked. As opposed to Borders' randomly sent out e-mails that are good for one weekend.

The selection was better a few years ago, before they downsized their selection. Hell, I bought the first two Los Campesinos! CDs there for about $9 each. And then I flirted with the clerk, who both liked LC! too.

It's amazing how I don't go into Books-A-Million because they don't have a CD/DVD selection. Even though I very rarely buy discs from a bookstore, there's still the facts that those racks exist that draw me in. At the very least, B+N has a solid Criterion Collection rack that I can comparatively price things against.

Half-Price Books are popping up all over Ohio, cornering the market on used Star Wars expanded universe books.

The only category my local Borders beats my local Barnes and Noble is in its comic selection. Everything else( cleanliness, organization, selection, attractiveness of girls at the coffee counter) goes straight to B&N. But, then again, the Borders near me isn't closing down.

I really still like Fevers and Mirrors, even though I'm no longer an angry young man. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning has to be my second favorite, which is strange, because I was never really into folk or alt.country before that. Cassadaga is like five tracks too long for me. I have to admit I find the back half of…

Mumford and Sons (and the Avett Brothers) sound like music people who are just getting into soft rock would really like. They're rootsy in a non-threatening sort of way. Like cartoon versions of someone Neil Young might have toured with in 1973.
