Read through Swords and Deviltry starring Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. While Fafhrd has more in common with Howard's Conan, Mouser is more a sophisticated city type. Together they make a very entertaining duo. They are written to reflect a closer portrait of human nature with some steamier erotica (though still very…

I'm wondering if it being set at Christmas is a reference to a Christmas Carol. There is a bit of the Ghost of Christmas Past going on in the episode (and maybe a little of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come with Fowler visiting the grave). Both Scrooge and Fowler are called back to their schools. But, where Scrooge…

All the quoted poetry works well as inspiration for the boys, then when said back to Fowler as inspiration for him while contemplating suicide. I think the favorite for me was the Donne quote from his Meditation XVII. It works really well with the Antioch motto. Maybe the writers thought the full quote was too long…

What the hell kind of country is this where I can only hate a man if he's white?

Instocktrades has it for $55.

I'm worried about Hackman going out with, Welcome to Mooseport.

Great in Blue Collar.

Anna Nicole fuck yourself!

Howard Stern's penis.

Inferno!

Kudos to the direction because I always thought there was a real sense of danger and the material is presented seriously. The stakes felt high here compared to the end of Third's run. I thought Rodney Bennett conveyed the size of the ship very well with some nice long shots. You get the feeling there could be a Wirrn…

"Now for the trifecta!"

I wanna be your dog.

It was great, I just wish it was longer. I know Iggy probably had a time constraint, but they
barely scratched the surface.

@Logoboros:disqus I agree. I haven't seen this in a while. Ed says something about how he knows a secret nobody else knows and has made it outside while everyone else is down below. That line seems to go against Ed being "the most profoundly empty of the film’s many blank characters". Ed seems to evolve quite a bit…

Paul Giamatti  reading A Scanner Darkly is really good.

I’m reading Tigana. It’s been on the shelf for close to a
decade and with Kay’s new book out I thought I should finally read it. I’m
about two thirds in and am really enjoying it for the most part. It’s very
episodic rather than one sweeping story following a set of characters all the
way through. There are some great…

He was the most recognizable face in the film though. At least to
American audiences. He played the straight guy and comic relief equally
well. The sexual tension between him and McKee was great. He maybe had
the funniest scene in the film.
