I read somewhere that the choice to put Grateful Dead songs into all (?) the episodes meant getting clearance for a DVD was going to be too hard/expensive. Maybe it was also too expensive to re-do the episodes with cheaper music, also.

About 25 years ago I asked Terry Gilliam a question about differences between U.S. and British versions of Brazil, at a Q&A in Edinburgh. The shame still lingers, even though it was an OK question.

I'm legitimately rattled now. Not sure I can carry through with this whole go to bed and sleep plan I had in mind.

Palate, not palette. Also, transitionary?

First saw this in a theater (the Brattle, in Cambridge, MA, [a rear-projection screen]) about 25 years ago. It looked amazing, and the experience really stuck with me. I always stop and watch if I happen to find this playing on TV, but these widescreen Lean flicks really are best seen big, in a big dark room.

Saw it coming in the previous episode, but the execution was pretty devastating. I think from now on I'll probably get weepy whenever I see slow motion footage.

Yes - WTF?

Do the parents know the kid was strangled? The dad's mention of it in the conversation in bed sort of popped out to me.

Looks like typical "track changes" failure, with the original and final versions just vomited up all in a row.

I can't specify any one factor; I just want to beat it senseless.

"Home" is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. And now we're doomed to hear it at wedding receptions for the foreseeable future.

Maybe it's because I watch with my kids, ages 8 and 6, but this is what I *always* think Adventure Time is about. There's always something going on about how parents try to control/help/befriend/thwart their children, whether it's Ice King and his Gunthers, PB and her candy people, the Lemongrabs and their little…

What was Bob doing in his office when the phone rang? Listening to something on headphones, surrounded by gear? (or at least, with a record player behind him, I guess) It almost looked like a surveillance station. Also, was he alseep? That moment seemed really odd.

If the word "authentic" is in your vocabulary, it is something you are not.

yes i can!

Algebraic!

Wore out my Boylan Heights cassette, finally saw them in DC but was more taken by the opening band, Blake Babies, who had all recently shaved their heads and simply rocked the living hell out of Gaston Hall. And then that band promptly broke up. I'm old.
