On the other side…
I just saw a best of list recently that rated In Vanda's Room the best film of the '00s, and Pedro Costa the best filmmaker of the last decade. I haven't seen any of his work, but I find it interesting to see two entirely opposite reactions from the guy's work. (As some people might say:must be…

I'm put Jin and Sun after Sayid but before Jack, Charlie ahead of Jack and Desmond ahead of Locke (Desmond episodes are always fucking awesome. Or at least often), but otherwise I think Sheltie and Charles Widless's combined graph is pretty on point. Oh, and I liked "Expose." Nicki and Paulo might suck, and the…

Sort of on this subject, I'm going to guess next week is either a Desmond or an Alana episode (I say that because of the apparent bigness of next week's episode, but it's also not exactly a bold statement on my part, simply by going on process of elimination). Anyone care to hazard whether it'll be a flashsideways or…

Way back when, Widmore was fine with this Desmond chap who was dating his daughter, until he learned about the college escapades of this boy all his friends, and especially the ladies, called "The Package."

As others have said, it's not amnesia (an entirely made up condition, at least the way TV and movies portray it. While there are some cases of retrograde amnesia—losing memories from before the trauma that caused the amnesia, it's actually much more prevalent in the way you see in Memento—anterograde amnesia), it's…

When the Mets revealed their stadium would be Citi Field I thought we got off pretty easily. After all, their's nothing wrong with the idea behind a City Field—it almost sounded normal. But then the financial crisis, and the bailout and, worst of all, the Met's inaugural Citi Field season. I miss Shea.

a) different reviewers for different shows mean different opinions.

Yeah, but with that one it was established she was Ted's on again off again crazy girlfriend from college. Bringing back Natalie from fur seasons ago is, I think, much more impressive. Right up there with "The Bracket" having a handful of girls Barney slept with in previous episodes, including the one who thought he…

As a native New Yorker I can wholeheartedly agree with the "fuck the Yankees" sentiment (I'm one of those tortured souls known as Mets fans. Good god do they suck), but 'll have to chime in with an equally emphatic "Fuck the Phillies!" This past wrodl series was absolute hell for me.

Alright Travis, if that's how you feel, how about The Book I read off of '77? Great fucking song. Even better, though I'm not sure if it it's a deep cut or not (was it ever a single, or do I just like it enough that I think it might be?), is Don't Worry About the Government. God I love that song. Might be my favorite…

I like I Zimbra. That isn't a weak point, it's an album opener. It has it's own feel.

It's true—you can't beat the climate of Los Angeles, and seemingly every type of ecosystem within 90 miles from the city. Still, the one place LA can't mimic well is New York, and for all the hiking I've done in the mountains and canyons of LA, none are as good as the Catskills.

I'm a native New Yorker living in L.A. New York is the best city in the world, but I like L.A. just fine as well. Philly is ok (but ba is completely right: fuck the Phillies), but the idea that something Philly has over New York is a wonderful and diverse restaurant scene is just laughable. New York's restaurant scene…

I'll be the eighth or so to go to the bat for "Listening Wind" as a deep cut choice—it's one of my favorite songs of all time, absolutely haunting and beautiful. I always thought Mojique, the terrorist protagonist of the song, was African (with a name like that possibly from a former French or Portuguese colony, but…

I think a better comparison than Hurt Locker to Chick Flicks, and what at the very least many people I know mean when they say chick flicks or the like, is that a woman director can't win with a movie like The Piano but can for The Hurt Locker. The Piano was hands down the best film of 1993. It was also filled with a…

He meant to say "I love you more than Gravity's Rainbow." He's a real big fan of Pynchon,

Slap Shot has been covered.

Putting his tongue in her ear is not Don Draper's style. Pierce should have yelled out "Put your hand up her crotch."

I wonder how she would have reacted if he did his Pete Campbell.

You think this has an exhausting length? Or, alternately, you think this trend was started by car commercials? You should see The Way Things Go:
