Someone should stake him as he sleeps in the trunk of one of his fancy cars and use the old, "He was a vampire sucking the blood of his enervated audience" defense.

IN FACT, having thought on it, if I could see one thing again for the first time, it would probably be Citizen Kane. Or perhaps Casablanca. Going into these two movies that have saturated the culture, you kind of expect them to be as cheesy as all the knock-offs and punchlines, but they are both just amazing.
I knew Rosebud was the sled, but I don't see how it's the surprise ending. I mean, you see it in the flashbacks to his childhood. Although I suppose that the sled couldn't be identified as Rosebud at that point, I don't think that knowing about the sled ruined my experience. I saw CK for the first time last year when…
Dildeaux
I am pretty lowbrow so anything involving dildoes (or dildos, as spellcheck prefers) is at least guaranteed a chuckle.
Every example I can think of in which a word ends with a "o" calls for an "e" before the "s" when pluralized (and I really only got as far as potato… tomato… before I called it good), so probably it's dildoes. But as long as it isn't dildo's I think it's acceptable.
*SPOILER ALERT*
He would
Colin Meloy would had a three page interview. I still love this guy, though. Even if I ai't bought an album since Picaresque. They were always great live, and I really wanted the singles album they put out. He seems a little more self-aware and less douchey than I suspected. A little.
Eeeee he's coming to the F-dub
I am so excited. I am probably going to go into flirt overdrive. What can I say, he combines about three of my favorite things: facial hair, slightly thick guys, and .. I forgot what the third thing is, maybe Baltimore or glasses. Something like that. Oh yeah, red hair. Mmmmm.
They did The Tain the first time I saw them live, as their encore, and never again, no matter how many people requested it. Colin was like, "You start to realize that when you're writing songs longer than 11 minutes, you just can't play them live." To that I say, "Boooo! The Taaaaaaaaaaain!"
I really, really, really used to be into the Decemberists, but I did not buy The Crane Wife. I've heard it, and I like it better than Picaresque, actually, on the whole, but I think I'm suffering from burnout. I think "5 Songs" is my favorite Decemberists thing, or possibly The Tain, since I like all the songs on both…
Arrr, so friggin' excited. Gonna have a Wild Rumpus premiere party.
I can't believe she isn't coming to the D-F-Dub until June. :(
Great Lakes Myth Society
They have been recommended to me by several people and I liked the tunes on their myspace.
I saw her at the Modern in Fort Worth for that thing they do during the months when the weather's nice (Modern til Midnight) and she was adorable and awesome, but it did not translate into me actually buying her albums and listening to her regularly, but I wish it had. I guess I will start now.
Oh, fuck me
Fuck, why did I click on this fucking Cash Cash song? I have a serious weakness for this teen candy bullshit pop music. I know that about myself. I don't change the radio during Metro Station. My brain will never be clean.
You used to be able to get a student ticket for $4 at the Movie Tavern by the mall, but now it's $6. However, you can still get a student ticket for $5 at the slightly-ghettoplex. I intend to stay a student forever.
Dang I see that Kid Rock music video every time I go see a movie lately. It came on in the pre-previews before Watchmen; we opted to take our bathroom break then (which was a good idea considering how Watchmen was quite a lengthy picture).
Then they could play the three together as a mini rock opera for their encore and leave everybody feeling good!
@Otto: Right, and you're already invested in this cat from "A Plea from Virtute the Cat." Learning that that's how the story ends is just… man, it gets you in the gut.
