Thank you, Rowan. I hated the first couple episodes of Dollhouse. My roommate was willing to stick with it, but I wasn't. The pilot is supposed to suck you in. It didn't. The second episode should be, if the pilot wasn't, good. It wasn't. I think it was the ad for the 3rd or 4th episode that put the final nail…

I'm partial to "I Saw the Light". Lori Carson does a lovely cover of it, as well. Plus, if you've ever seen Todd Rundgren's bit in Theremin, where he imitates the instrument, you might go a little easier on the guy. It's hilarious.

The Secret is the power of positive thinking. That's it. There, I just saved you $14.00. Someone gave it to my mom and I skimmed through it. It's an old concept stretched into a boring, stupid book. Positive thinking may have its merits, but the book is a crock of shit. The person who gave it to my mom also…

Also, I have a major yen for Trevor Moore. I think he's dreamy.

I LOVE the Dinosaur Rap and The Grapist! Two of my favorites from WKUK. :)

Myrna Loy was terrific! I could watch her in The Thin Man and The Best Years of Our Lives again and again. Oh, wait, I already do.

Kings was glorious.

I LOVE these guys! What a treat to read this interview.

That's OK
I'll just watch Shoot 'Em Up again, thanks.

Yes, please!

I saw him at Mr. T's Bowl in L.A. several years ago. He was playing acoustic and seemed to be testing out new songs. I had gone with friends to see some crappy band and when they were through, Malkmus started playing, I said to my friend, "He sounds like the guy from Pavement" and she said, "That's because he IS the…

I adore the soundtrack to First Love, Last Rites. There are so many good songs. I listen to it fairly frequently. The movie, however, was terrible.

I'd love to see STT. If you're a fan of Nathan Larson, his band Hot One and their self titled album are a lot of fun. http://www.amazon.com/Hot-O…

Back in the days of laser discs, I got together with 2 friends for a movie night. We left it up to the friend hosting the evening to pick the movies at the rental place. He chose Defending Your Life and Hudson Hawk. Luckily, we watched Defending Your Life first. We loved it. However, we only made it through the…

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy The Book of Lost Things. I adore it and heartily recommend it to everyone. Personally, I think it's definitely skewed toward an adult audience, but that (and I know this will sound incredibly cheesy, but oh well) it speaks to the child in all of us. I thought it was rich, layered,…

He sure is.

The mind boggles. How does one shove a cheesecake, candlelit or not, up someone's ass? Or do they just do it bit by bit? *shudder*

Lev Grossman wrote a wonderful piece for Time called The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth.

And let's not forget Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones.

Oh, I loved The Book of Lost Things so much. It's one of my all time favorites. I'd be interested to know of any similarities between the two as well.
