I am not a BNL fan, but I do love the theme song.

They should do a whole ex-Pavement+Pavement tour/festival
Line-up as follows:

@ Clueless — Living up to your name, I see.

My favorite of those cheesy 60s fight scenes is the one between Sinatra and Henry Silva in The Manchurian Candidate.

The Theme of Primeval
I'm a bit confused by the statement that the main theme of Primeval/S4 was that "Buffy and company prevailed because they wanted it more".

Rover's also a nice metaphor for the Village as a whole.

@ TomWaits — Knocked Up is, in no way, shape or form, realistic — let alone "more realistic" than 40YOV.

Everyone I've ever met from Austin just drones on and on so incessantly about what a wonderful place it is that I inevitably just find myself thinking, "Well, then, why the fuck don't you move back, you insufferable asshole."

Ahhh…the New Art…such a shitty theater. I saw so much good stuff while I was there, though, that I can't complain too much.

Not just Texas…I'm from a pretty small town in Illinois, and KotH is just about the only show that accurately and realistically portrays small-town life in the middle US. (Well, except for Roseanne, I guess…) Awfully fond of it and awfully sorry to see it go — even if the last couple seasons were a little spotty.

Bob and David are resurrecting Mr. Show?????
Oh…never mind…when you said "the greatest comic duo of the '90s", I just naturally assumed…well…

@ Pico — This is more or less what Foucault's Pendulum is all about.

I don't think this book is out of print.

I wouldn't get too excited. The 2nd Season and most of the 3rd were fairly amusing, but that show very quickly became very unwatchable after that in my view.

I had an issue with that as well. It certainly wasn't the norm, but one of my favorite film professors was David Desser at the University of Illinois. His lectures were essentially 2 hour stand-up routines about either the Golden Age of Hollywood or Japanese cinema or whatever the subject at hand was.

I've met him a couple of times. (He used to shop at a store I worked at for a while.)

I have no idea.

I like this show — and some of the other State spin-off stuff
But I've always hated The State itself and Stella.

D'oh
I was looking forward to this write-up, thinking it was Patrice Leconte's The Girl on the Bridge.

Yeah, this is about the least offensive/stupid thing that AA's ever done. I know quite a few people who'd probably use this stuff too. (Designers, dancers, choreographers, etc.)
