The college money issue always bothered me too. Scholarships aside, Keith wrote a book about the capture and arrest of a mega-famous movie star involved in a sex-murder of an underage girl (which presumably would have been optioned by Lifetime at the very least). Even assuming modest fees, he should have made enough…

Or, you know, he could have signed off on it so his buddy could make some money.

Also quite good in The Quiet American, one of my favorite movies that seemingly no one else has seen.

I'm kind of confused about this whole can thing. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your problem, but I typically drink beers at concerts in this fashion. They'll usually only sell you two at the beer tent so I grab two, stack them and start drinking the top one. This keeps your free hand from becoming icy and leaves you with…

My friend refers to this phenomenon as The Babushka Bomb.

I agree. That would given the show something interesting to do.

Maybe you're using some weird definition of synths, but that's not even close to accurate. The Rolling Stones, The Monkees, The Doors, The Beatles, hell, even Simon and Garfunkel had all used Moogs several years before Who's Next was released.

Greendale is in Colorado.

I just have to say that I'm sort of surprised that people here liked that anime sequence. I thought it was kind of embarrassing and out of place. (Also had some other issues with the ep, but that was the main one.)

I can't really imagine a shorter and pithier deconstruction of Christian rock than Hank Hill's "Can't you see you're not making Christianity any better? You're just making rock 'n roll worse!"

I got the box set for Christmas last year and have watched most of the special features included (Garry's personal interviews, the doc on the making of the show, etc.), and it's pretty obvious that Shandling is fully aware of this. He's pretty self-effacing and lavishes lots of praise on both Torn and Tambor.

Libra is definitely my favorite DeLillo.

In college, I had to watch Metropolis several times in the span of a week or so for a paper I was doing, and the only copy of the film I had was the one with the excruciating Moroder soundtrack so I made a different soundtrack for it every time I watched it.

Is there an option to watch the deleted scenes cut into the rest of the film like a Director's Cut sort of thing? Or is it set up so you have to watch them separately one by one out of context (as on most DVDs)?

As I said, Lost definitely had issues — most of which you've cited — but I don't think any of the things you're mentioning have to do with changing/breaking the "rules" of the show.

How exactly did Lost change the rules as it went along? It certainly had its fair share of issues, but was this really one of them? I'd probably argue the opposite; Lost didn't even really have any rules to break. As it turned out, everyone who claimed/seemed to know what was going on was horribly unreliable and/or a…

I always pictured Clint Walker (Posey from The Dirty Dozen) as Bondurant while I was reading the books. He would have been great.

No disrespect to your pop-pop, but I find it amusing that you don't correlate tracking down people who stole from bankers with protecting the rich.

That was who that was? My marginal surprise at that fact is being overwhelmed by the complete and utter shock that someone actually enjoyed that and thought it was humorous.
