Insane live show
Do yourself a favor and see these guys live. Drummers marching around the audience, blindfolded moshing on stage, and lots of shrubbery. Very awesome.

Holy s**t, that is some amazing music
Not to take away from the quality of the animation, but what this video drove home for me was how damn good the music in the original film was. I was moved watching a cartoon bear await his death in a parody video, for crying out loud.

Hey, I was at the 9/12 show too! God that was awkward. I mean, everyone loosened up a bit for Weezer, but we were statues during the two openers. So uncomfortable…

So that old woman…she's just a liar, right?
And a bit of a tramp, if you ask me.

"Gemma and Clay helped arrange the death of Jax's father"??
Whoa whoa whoa. Did I miss something? I mean, that conspiracy was definitely hinted at, but I don't recall it ever being reliably established. Was it?

I clearly do not understand the verb "to holler"
So that one gentleman went on a date with a costar, at which time he was trying "to holler at her." I can only assume this means they accidentally arranged their rendezvous for opposing sides of a ravine and had to conduct their flirtations through loud shouts. Either…

Thank you, Todd
Todd, I want to sincerely thank you for these write-ups. I was a huge Rescue Me fan for the first 3 years, was less enamored of season 4, and watched 5 purely out of habit and joyless curiosity.

The drummer of comedy
Paul Provenza reminds me of that old joke:
What do you call a wannabe who hangs out with musicians? A drummer.

He was the first to be shot by the Miami gun thugs.

Walton Goggins
His performance tonight as Boyd was absolutely phenomenal. The understatement of his crisis of faith after burying his followers, the combination of rage and grief when he confronted his father….every scene of his had me absolutely hooked.

Not sure realism really works on this
I absolutely loved the realistic approach of Chris Nolan's Batman, but I don't think that tone works in this context. Too many of the core elements (not even counting the weird shit from the later games) require some kind of magic or supernatural phenomena to be interesting.

What are you saying, little man? You don't like Zep?

"Actually, our song is "If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
I sang it at our wedding."

Oh, they're crooked…

"Nowhere I thought I'd be by now. My head is a buzzing three-star hotel."

The Woman in Black
Well, the Woman in Black is a pretty awesome stage play, and when your Big Bad is, well, exactly what it says in the title, it's not like there are going to be a ton of special effects that will look awful when done on the cheap. Still, gimmicky 3-D (oh my, it's like that carriage is coming toward…

This is not good news.
The prominent bass lines are what separated Interpol from all the other atmospheric post-punkers who only stuck around long enough to draw a comparison to Joy Division and then faded away. Carlos D. was a hell of a bassist and I'm guessing a very important part of the writing process. So….shit.

If "dear" is his favorite word…
then his favorite phrase has to be about the putting of weights around someone, often himself.

Fist names are comedy gold
The Captain and Tennille had me laughing out loud. Even better than "Bono and Sandra Day O'Connor" from 30 Rock.

Mercenary sequels are non-canonical
Fuck you, whoever thought of this non-idea. I don't care what you say, the version of one of the greatest ambiguous-but-not-really endings in cinematic history I have in my head will always be the valid one.
