"Melisandre, have The Rolling Stones killed."

Shit, I forgot they invented the Emmy category of "Best Rape Scene." I also forgot about how correlation equals causation. Thanks for the helpful reminders.

That description of The King in Yellow reminds me a bit of If On A Winter's Night A Traveler by Italo Calvino.

I wonder if Xstream Blue was meant as an homage to Powersauce bars. Mostly I'm just always looking for new reasons to love Clone High.

I remember learning who Deng Xiaoping was in a class my sophomore year of high school and laughing hysterically.

Thank god Homer found that frozen wheel that lets them move Springfield.

It's a shared hallucination caused by fumes from the tire fire.

I saw an interview where Dave Foley said he switched to black coffee because during NewsRadio he was drinking two pots a day and would drink an entire carton of cream in the process, which led to him gaining 20 pounds.

I'm still kind of sad I didn't see that last tour The Anniversary did with Cheap Trick. That would have been an awesome show, I bet.

I keep mine next to my Rhyming Becktionary.

I can't wait for [REDACTED] to appear in the next [REC] sequel.

Yeah, the creator/showrunner was definitely overambitious. He was doing so much tablesetting that it often interfered with the momentum of the primary plot and just created even more unresolved plot lines.

McKinnon's crazy eyes during that Hillary sketch were a thing of beauty.

Fuck Oasis. I want a Supergrass reunion.

[SPOILERS CONTINUED] Well it's more of a super Death Star - it's actually, cringe-inducingly enough, called "The Starkiller" and is like 10x as big as the original. (I get that the name is a nod to Lucas's early draft of the New Hope script, but still.) [/SPOILERS]

I feel like there were actually a few little LOST nods sprinkled in TFW, which I appreciated.

If you're frustrated at Carnivale, just wait until you get to the ending. Part of me will always hate HBO for pulling the plug on that show. Then again, I suppose no other network would have ever made it anyhow.

I was on the road for a good chunk of the past three days, so podcasts/stand-up galore. Two of the biggest standouts were actually AV Club commentariat recommendations - Natasha Leggero's Coke Money which was incredible and Greg Proops's Elsewhere, which was wretched. Who would have guessed the guy from Whose Line was…

Anything you can compare it to? I liked Oz despite it's bleakness, but I don't know if I could handle anything much sadder. Ditto for the first season of The Leftovers.

I actually started gaming again since I enrolled in a doctoral program, but I mostly play stuff I can pick up for 30-45 minutes when I need something mindless to do as a study break. There's been a few free XBox Live Arcade Games I've gotten through Games with Gold that fit the bill nicely (CastleStorm, Charlie…
