That it does. But while it's on, the combo of a Jameson drunk and some cigarettes is a beautiful thing.

Ah, Jamo rocks. Drink of choice of Chris Farley. And myself when I can afford it.

The ending was far from the only awful part of Gran Torino.

Prairie Home Companion
I thought that movie was awful. Just really dreadfully boring and pointless, and I love Robert Altman. But…yeesh. Wow. I didn't even know anyone liked it.

You fight like Anne Rice.

No one has heard of him
But Michael Parker is a kickass NC writer, and his collection "Don't Make Me Stop Now" should be read by more people. I'm not surprised not to see it up here, as even if your from NC you may not have heard of him, but he is really incisive and clever and adept at capturing atmosphere, and I…

Spot on vocally, tho
While I grant it would have been epic if they had gotten the man himself to do it, I gotta at least give Fallon props for his vocal impression.

Have you guys not realized that every White Stripes album ends with a track that is ramshackle and kind of ridiculous? "Southern Can" "Cause and Effect" "It's True etc." The exception being the self-titled, ending with "I Fought Piranhas" which is just unqualified badassery.

I plan to do that this year with the Walkmen's "In the New Year."

I honestly believe she was sent from the future to destroy all happiness.

Massive headgear
I don't know what this means, but Taylor Swift's headgear in that parent driver sketch was really doin' it for me.

A PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMISSSSSSSEEEEEEE

The joys of cable television…
Air Force One. Actually, pretty much anything with Harrison Ford. The man is shorthand for watchability.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
And I cannot second Aliens enough. When I'm rating a movie based on sheer awesomeness and "movie-osity," I'm usually comparing it to Aliens.

"Creatively bankrupt" - thank you Bill Haverchuck, for putting your finger right on it. Dallas rules.

Challenge accepted

The Weezer/Weezy collaboration "Can't Stop Partying" (or is it "Partyin'"?) should not be. It is an abomination. And I'm no rockist, I like hip hop, but I hate terrible hip hop, and I hate terrible Weezer songs also (maybe even more than I love good Weezer songs) and this is most certainly both. I could have gone to…

Snoody?
Surely you meant "snooty." Ahem, ah ha, ahem. *sips tea with pinky extended*

Christ, Rose Madder is awful. I've always thought that Stephen King's female characters were not terribly written. Some were better than others, but some of them, like the mom in Cujo, actually rang true for me. Then again I am not a woman.

I was traumatized as a kid by "Humbug" the one that took place in the town full of circus freaks and had the mutated twin that lived in the dude's stomach. What. The. Fuck.

This entire comments section amuses me to no end due to some shit I took for claiming that Black Mountain mops the floor with Wolfmother when it comes to 70's rock aping bands. I believe I was called a hipster douchebag or something, and told that me Neil Young fandom should be revoked.
