No expert, but from what I've read, most people on strong stimulants lose the euphoric part of the experience early on, or at least in a few years. When they become psychotic, they don't seem so happy about it. Maybe Charlie Sheen has a genetic abnormality. I don't mean that's why he's an asshole, but he might…

That's the one. Sometimes there's a coda:

I prefer the classics of the situational genre
Two old ladies lying in a bed
One rolled over to the other and said
I want to be an airborne ranger
Want to live a life of sex and danger
Blood, guts, and a whole lotta danger
This is the life of an airborne ranger

There's one of those action movie parodies that he did, I don't remember the title, where he picks up a handful of ammo from a box and throws it at the bad guys, and they die just like they've been shot. He may think that that's real now, because of the magic in his fingertips.

Could there be flying monkeys? I would watch the whole show if I thought there might be flying monkeys.

If you're looking for people who will be moved by prophetic words, maybe you should try the Foreign Policy comments.

I thought the C was a bit harsh, too. It was a sleepy, ruminative episode compared to many. But that was appropriate to the subject matter, relationship stuff, which as we now know can determine the fate of universes. It also pointed out that neither side really wants to destroy either universe. But that said,…

Agreed. Akira barely made amime sense. If made into live action by Hollywood, there would need to be much exposition that would make us all pray for whatever that thing was to blow up and kill us all.

I know he's very talented. My question is why the industry, as it's called, is still dealing with him. Lynch, Burton, and even Gilliam had commercial hits as long into their careers.

Why?
is he being given so many chances. Is it because he's cute?

I took the ending of Ubik to be an editor/publisher induced one. But that's just a guess, could totally be wrong and haven't read it in years.

I meant Murray, but if you say one obviously stupid thing, how can anyone take you seriously?

How does the rating thing work?
I tried to click the box, and when nothing happened, I clicked submit, hoping for more instructions. Now I think that my rating may have gone through, since it was the B- now displayed, but I don't know.

It looks like the one in Hollywood is ok for now. It's the only general interest bookstore left in walking distance of me. If it closes, that will be especially bad after the public library hours go to 1:30-3:00 pm on alternate Thursdays.

I just finished watching it.
Despite the comment I made above, atheists may still have a problem with this in terms of White's aside of poo-pooing of them in the course of explaining his less-than-riveting nihilism. Actual nihilists, if there are any left, should have more of a problem.

The disease, if that's what it is and where it came from, is a respiratory infection that's spread by wild sexy things like airconditioners. Woo woo.

Aw, crap that was Armin Shimerman. I like his work.
However, rightwing ideologues attempting to create their own framework for pop culture? Never. Stops. Being. Funny.

From Army Times, I learned that Ka-bar has a new line of knives called "Zombie Killer". We reflected on how much we all know now about how to kill zombies, and how useless that knowledge is.

That is a lovely. Where did it come from?
