Also the f'ing iPhone
How many times did the iPhone get mentioned in this book. I've never seen that much product placement in a book in my life.

William Bellamy
Did Brown just study a picture of Morgan Freeman, write down a paragraph description of him and then use that to describe Bellamy?

I think when I read Cold 6 I was so wrapped up in the Ellroy world that I would have read his adaptation of an LA phone book. I had been trying and trying to read Confidential for years but I couldn't get into the prose. So I decided to read Dahlia which is a much easier entry. plus it's the first one in the…

Cold 6 is the sequel to Tabloid…maybe it's just semantics but I"m not sure if you thought that he wrote Cold 6 first and then went back to Tabloid

That Launch Party
reminds me of the classic Magic Bullet informercials:

I had no idea Cold 6 was this disliked
I'm stunned…on another note, does anyone remember what the tenuous connections are between LA Quartet and the underwold trilogy? Other than Howard Hughes being in both series'? I know Pete is in one of the quartet books briefly but I can't remember…was it White Jazz? And I…

Most depictions of Holmes
outside of the books written by Doyle are non-canonical. the hat, the pipe…it's not something he wore often.

You can't deny though that the system is broken. You can't deny that health insurances companies deny coverage and drop coverage for arbitrary reasons. You can't deny that even decent health insurance is way too expensive for most people. The plan for the US system is not like the plan in Canada or Britain, that is…

Brad
wasn't he engaged or something? He and Marshall had a bromance which involved ridonculous brunches and then Brad got back together with his woman.

The Seinfeld people were always good with names…Saccamano, Todd Gakk, Hal Kitsmiller

I've heard that we're supposed to get more in the next few episodes about what else happened in the other Earth and we've seen as much in the previews. I have to believe there's something to the almost-car crash that we saw at the end of last season though. I don't know too much about theories on multiple universes,…

Broccoli Rob
Is one of Andy's friends from Cornell and a member of "Here Comes Treble" along with Carl 1, Carl 2, Sparerib, Doobie, Lunchbox, Boner Champ (aka Andy), Pubie Lewis and The News, Hopscotch, Jingle Jangle and Sandwich.

The car accident
After watching the season 1 finale last week I was reminded of the beginning of Olivia's time in New York, when a car nearly hits her. I always thought it was weird that it happened, it seemed pointless but there was so much focus on it. So are we to now assume that Olivia entered the new universe…

How could Kinsey support Nixon in season one
and then turn into a civil rights activist in season two, plus grow the beatnik beard?

Did Ray say "What would Ernie Banks do"
Or did I just mishear it?

Teenage girls will be so disappointed with this book
Because I'm guess there's no romance between a teenage girl who's just like them and a misunderstood, thoughtful vampire teen.

What's the seating situation exactly?
I printed 2 tickets for the Chicago screening, is it still first come first serve?

Training montage in Wet Hot American Summer
it's the best

the best one so far has been the person who said she looked like Jason Mewes

I enjoy the weekly discussions about who Ashley looks like. I think she looks like Ben Kweller…or Ben Lee
