Many, like Kind of Blue were also at some point mastered at slightly the wrong speed, leaving the entire record slightly sharp or flat.

Steve Cropper is a god that chose to walk among us. Every chance to listen to him is a gift.

Scotty's scene has to come first. It's the fall from grace. Little Bill's scene coming immediately after tells us it's gonna be a long fall.

Brandt can't watch. (the nanosecond flash of hate/confusion that crosses his face when she says that…amazing).

Every dysfunctional family has to have an enabler.

Brilliant, vivid scene. You know what's coming and you beg him not to do it and he does it every time. And the tears that come are tears of anger at himself for being gay, yes, but more for his realization that he has set himself up again. He's trapped in a cycle of putting himself in positions to be punished for his…

Yeah, Chinese guys are always firing off firecrackers indoors for no reason.

And give Wahlberg credit for not doing anything with his face. If he had tried to play any kind of thought or thought process, it would have ruined it. PTA knew the audience didn't need any help to get into the exceedingly thick skull of this character at that moment.

Great job of a really weird kind of part. He had to serve as a bit of a greek chorus while putting a face behind words we knew and a personality/persona we were familiar with, but create a person that was a complete blank in our consiousness. And he had to sell that as an honesty that forms the moral center of the…

PSH played that character so beautifully. Most guys (and directors) would have played that as a straight, "Hey this guy wants to fuck with my business, and I cannot let that happen" role…but PSH brings in that schoolyard-bully-sensing-Sandler's-brokenness-and-revelling-in-the-chance-to-fuck-with-him undercurrent. The…

My perspective? Cruise mails in so many parts that when he actually exerts himself, it feels like a better performance than it really was. When he makes the effort, Cruise can sell a part, but he's never surprised me with his choices.

You probably don't have the appropriate level of affection for listening to "Sister Christian" while setting off firecrackers either.

Go easy. He's probabaly a Lebowski Achiever.

William Penn and Edward Teller together again! What a mismatched, wacky pair!

Apparently a lot of people thought Kingpin was a documentary.

As a decendant of Quakers who brought Quakery to the Guilford county area , I would submit a nickname for a group that has been spared our derision for far too long. "The Fuckin' Shakers." Get it?

Unfortunately, however, the chinbeard has proved unable to stop frequent breakouts of ballchin.

When you say it that way, it sounds like they're just trying to conserve the lice they have. Medieval monk: "Si vertice raso, et reputatum est illi, et non posse evadere!"**


** loosely translated: "If I shave my pate, those lice will never be able to escape!"

I shunno…prolly have to watch to see.

Getting too much shun can damage your skin…
