God damn, but that movie gets really weird once they head underground. Was the face paint explained in the book?

Do you have the version of "Nightwatching" which includes the disc with "Rembrandt's J'Accuse" on it? It is the documentary version of the movie. In it his rampant love of numbers, over-analysis, and himself* goes into some sort of overdrive. I realized two things after I watched it:
1) He is deadly serious about the

"Oh, mid-90's CGI. How awful you are."

Or, to borrow from another head of the Onion hydra:

I like HDTGM, but it just feels like they've slammed a bag of pixie sticks before they hit the mics sometimes. WHM feels much less manic overall.

The dichotomy in staying power between Jesse Camp and Dave Holmes still delights me. Not that Holmes was ever wildly successful, but at least his Wikipedia page doesn't read like the information next to a face on a milk carton.

The DVR rewinding was a nice touch.

Don't forget the Smeckler's Powder.

In the event of any future legal negotiations after his death, all money now goes to O'Bannon's bowtie.

SO DO YOU!

I've seen Don Hertzfeldt there a couple of times, it's a pretty great setting for the mix of misc. and cult films that they show. They sell a yearly membership for, I think, $265 (called The Black Card) that'll get you into all screenings first and for free (with some popcorn, to boot). If I actually lived in LA,

I liked that the show just held on a shot of all of them jumping along, doing the hand motions, and reciting the rhyme. Quite amusing.

A friend and I invented a variant that used only 3/4 of the board. Figuring out how to restrict movement through the very center of the board is crucial to not finishing the game in 2 minutes. It almost made sense. We played it two or three times, then never again.

To go back to DS9 for a moment, that show has two good examples: the ever-constant 'Tongo' and the episode specific 'Chula'.

I picked the avatar before I knew he was around. He does the name and the syntax, I do not. I'm in the clear on this one.

On the bright side, Patrick Stewart-voiced toddler doing a Human Centipede reference.

This appears to be it:

Andrea's actions were so astoundingly stupid that they tore a giant hole in the space-time-smart-o-meter continuum.

"So long, junk mail!"

Huh. He said "dichotomy".
