I still say that Phillip Phil was where Matthew Weiner got the idea for Don Draper.

Very deep.

All I got from that was, "David Sims likes a show that I like, but he likes it for different reasons. Therefore he must be stupid."

We don't believe in rules, like, we gave them up when we started livin' like freaky beatniks!

I'm sure you all care about my opinion, (my online persona is based off of an obscure character from a Super Nintendo game for chrissake, if that doesn't scream internet legitimacy and expert opinions then I don't know what does) but Season 8 is the last season I purchased on DVD and I feel that the episodes that year…

@ David: I don't remember much of my trip to Hawaii as a kid, I don't remember a lot of family moments from that age, most of the memories of my friends from that time are long gone, but I remember that god damned Saturday Morning Preview show.

A Subject Line
I got into the Mountain Goats a little before All Hail West Texas came out in a totally round about manner. The guitar player in my band was big into Atom and His Package (anyone else remember him? No? Didn't think so) and he loved the covers of Alpha Desperation March and the Seed song. I wasn't a big…

Two Tone Phone
I would love a two tone phone. But I think that's just because I'm a rude-boy at heart.

I wasn't complaining. I just assumed that with the band being held in such high regard on this site (maybe it's just a few staffers that are skewing my perspective) there would have been some mention of it.

No mention of…
AV Club darlings Frightened Rabbit being used in the trailer for this god-awful dreck?

I'm gonna take this all the way back to the top of the thread but I'm glad to see someone else with some Mountain Goats love. I've seen them twice now and the first time (5 years ago) was one of the most amazing experiences I'd ever had a show. The second time blew. Darnielle is at his best when he's just in a relaxed…

I'm registered and made an avatar and everything but I had no idea I could have a bio, and a status, and a list of favorite books, and movies, and TV shows. I'm never going to fill any of that out, but now I'm aware of what options I'm ignoring.

My mom went to high school with Vincent Furnier. So I've got that going for me.

Carlton
I may be remembering things wrong, but isn't the big point of the Carlton as Culkin gag that Carlton is dressed perfectly as Wesley Snipes' character from Demolition Man and doesn't even know it?

Brilliant Performance Art
… Or complete waste of my fucking time? I'm not sure, but sadly I won't be getting any work done today.

Ah yes. Sweet, glorious recognition!

No
… They weren't all Happy Days.

I think the way it was recorded made it seem more awkward than it was. Before he started speaking you could hear multiple other mics and then as soon as he started it went to only his mic and got no other noise from the room. When he finished talking they switched on the rest of the mics and you could hear the…

"Hope this is not Chris' blood"

I think the letter grade is more of a rating on the overall objective "quality" of the movie itself, not ones enjoyment of it. I fully understood the C+ Scott Pilgrim grade along with the "required viewing" tag. It was a movie that really set out to be something awesome, it just didn't achieve those goals. It was…
