Pilgrimage Destinations Galore!
They have some downright obscure pop-culture pilgrimage locations mapped over at WhereItsAt.com…from the 'Animal House' fraternity (now just a plaque) to the graveyard from 'Night of the Living Dead.'

Even the retarded origin of Nickelback's name makes me fucking die inside.

Seger fucking owns, it's true
But I cannot abide "Katmandu"

Seconded.

When the MPAA gives you lemons…
Fuck it. Now that they have an 'R' rating, they should add more cursing and maybe some middle-aged full-frontal.

Fake Shark Real Zombie…
…is dangerously close to my (imaginary) emo band, Zombie vs. Shark.

Saw This Last Night
It's funny, but the film seems 100% more pretentious after reading this article.

Howard…
…bugs the shit out of me, especially when he isn't paired with Raj. I find myself identifying with Leonard solely because of his cruelty to Howard.

Teasing Tito's weight was totally uncalled for.

Because only trucks and jeeps were affected. You know…because trucks are more…complex.

Maximum Overdrive Fucking Owns
Maximum Overdrive is a delightful romp. Pat Hingle. Mid-period Emilio Estevez. Fucking CHOICE AC/DC soundtrack. Ridiculously elaborate goblin truck. Gratuitous rocket launchers.

The reviewer's right, in that the film is light on scares and the stories are a bit warmed over. HOWEVER, it looks absolutely gorgeous, and captures the spirit of the season perfectly. Dylan Baker and Brian Cox are both pitch-perfect as well. For horror fans, it's more like a B+… not a classic, but a terrific way

Uh…"some of"

The first 66.66% of The Strangers was one of the most effectively suspenseful stuff I've seen. The final act was some of the most yell-at-the-screen frustrating bullshit I've seen. Still, the final scenes were at least kinda sad.

One more "Bazinga" and the television was going out the window.

Delta. I have the preprinted postcard hanging in my cubicle (which defeats the purpose, I know). Fucking hilarious bit.

'Outland' fucking OWNS.

Some of these examples of "harmonizing" are actually examples of "multitracking a single singer" which is a favorite technique of mine. Even better is multitracking on multiple singers. On "Because," John, Paul, and George all sing…and then each one has three vocal tracks. Nine awesome Beatles voices at once =

Methinks you forget a little masterpiece they're calling…PANDORUM!!

Yikes. I was gonna ask a similar question about where to start with this dude, but I'll just stick with James M. Cain. Wouldn't want some rabid Ellroy fans to tear my asshole asunder in the wake of some innocent slip-up.
