"Christ, what an asshole."

If you want to get tossed off by a watery tart, bring ten quid to the South Bank of the Thames and ask for "Jemmy the Mermaid."

"Ophelia" is pretty common in songs, to evoke a particular tragic type of woman. I don't know if I've heard the Lumineers song (maybe if you hum a few bars for me), but Natalie Merchant used it, as did Tori Amos, Emily Autumn, and a few others…

"Women Lying in Ponds" sounds more like an album title to me.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for founding a progressive rock band. You can't go around claiming to be King Crimson just because some watery tart tossed a sword at you. If I went around saying that I was the Alan Parsons Project just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me,…

Everything I know about life, and about love, I learned from Sam Malone. Erlich Bachman is no Sam Malone.

The mere fact that you're calling it "boom boom" tells me you're not ready to see it.

I cannot abide "Melt with You." I have to turn off whatever I'm listening to if it comes on.

He's an illegal Canadian immigrant, so it's not like he could have voted for McCain/Palin anyway. Undocumented foreigners didn't get the vote until AFTER Obama was elected.

No argument from me there.

I suspect you're being facetious, but just in case… Anyone who thinks method acting is easy (or worse, silly) should watch Brando in Streetcar again (ideally after bingeing on Hollywood movies made BEFORE Streetcar). Method acting is a tool in an actor's toolbox, and a good actor will make better use of it than a…
