not only bald but fat
I saw Diamond Dave on Japanese TV after one of his solo performances here and he was too fat to keep up with the lyrics to "Just Like Paradice".

Great
Thanks to The AV Club and Salon, I can get the skinny on all the new shows.

Yea, Josh Modell
I like pretty much everything (except Dylan) and that's why I love reading the diverse opinions contained in The AV Club.

Awesome
You used "embiggen" Nice Simpsons' quote.

Metalocalypse
I loved the "metal" quote.

great list
Although I haven't seen some of these, I do remember loving Fall From Grace but can't remember why I stopped liking it.

Finally
I thought my wife and I were the only people who thought this movie was pretty fucking funny.
Thank you Nathan.

headache
His vocoder is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I don't know what girl would fuck this guy, he looks like the Predator.
Sean Kingston and T=Pain need to go to one-hit wonder land with their awful synthectic voices.

totally agree
They have two giant festivals near Tokyo every year and although it was nice to see Sonic Youth, Yo Lo Tengo, Mogwai and Aphex Twin (among many, many others) in two days, it was pretty tiring.
But you're right. Big outdoor festivals are a good place to sample a band's live show but it's not something I…

Da Vinci Code
Watching movies in Japan is a once-a-month experience for my wife and I since it can be pretty expensive. When The Da Vinci Code came out, it was pretty much the only thing to see at the time-and we had resolved ourselves to see at least something, how bad could it be (Poseidon was playing, but we both…

Sex and Fury
From a technical point of view, this movie, like other Japanese sexploitation movies, can have naked female sword fights and somehow to manage to avoid any naked below the belt shots. All done to avoid Japan's nonsensical nudity laws. Anyways, Sex and Fury is pretty hard to believe until you've seen it.

one notable thing…
I didn't see this but I do remember Roger Ebert's review of this and it was pure gold, one of his funniest lines.

She's #1
I used to tell my students that she was my favorite actress and they never had a clue who she was. Her role in Superchunk's "Watery Hands" video with David Cross was brilliant.

I listened to half so far…
on my way to work and I thought it was pretty boring. Too bad, I loved the first album.

C-?
You trashed this movie and yet it still got a C-? What's up with that? Is it possible for a movie that makes satire redundant to get an F?

This was great…
My wife and I saw this in a small theater with exactly two other people. I absolutely loved it and it made the obscene ticket prices ($30 a pop for super fancy seats) well worth the money. Road to Perdition wasn't a bad movie but I can't watch anything with Tom Hanks. He has pretty much ruined any…

Good Morning Vietnam
So So movie and great song. "What a Wonderful World" in Good Morning Vietnam. Bang you on the head with a big stick to reinforce the irony kind of way but for me, unfortunately, I hear that song and I think of that movie's montage of bad shit happening.

Mapasaurus
Okay, Mapasaurus was too funny. A look at the YouTube comments prove that some people are too dumb. "Me not like ad with weird reference to popular Japanese hero show. Me like homophobic ad about chocolate bar".

I agree with both
Living in Tokyo means going to the big screen about oonce a month since it's so expensive to watch every mmovie that comes out. The wife and I try to see the big epics on the big screen and watch just about everything else on video. On top of that, most movies like 40 Year Old Virgin and Wedding…
