Everything good that Millar does is done better—in different aspects—by Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis. And everything bad he does comes from his attempts to one-up the last two of those.

I do know that as a teen I wanted my eyebrows to be more arched, like Nicholson. Eventually they were. Only they stuck that way. So Byrne can be dangerous.

Seen and Not Seen
I've always loved that track, and in some ways it's the most quintessential Byrne track of that phase of his development. I would say that I've also always liked "The Overload" as much, and for much the same reasons.

If you're going to pull something out of your ass, it's common courtesy to at least wash it off. That was my reaction.

Wait, the Simpsons is still on?…

I love the show but…
…this episode is NOT the one you use for the season premiere, unless you want to tell everyone, "We're waiting out our contract and running on fumes." This should, at best, have been one of those eps they talk about that they keep around in case they want to go on vacation or something.

Why I LikeThis Show
Because it surprises me. Because it has a great cast. And because it's all of what was great about GALACTICA with nearly all the sci-fi removed. Because the way BSG won me over was this: I liked it in direct proportion to the amount of sci-fi tropes it dispensed with. (The first time I was won over…

Just saw this last week
…and first I thought, "This is so pretty but so ugly," but I almost always do this on first viewing of a Von Trier film, much as I almost never really "got" Kubrick films till a second viewing, which is why I came to love his work. I found myself watching this, in the course of a week, four…

He's Still…?
Being reported on?
Making music?
Alive?
Not on a celeb reality show yet?
I could go on all day, really.

NBC Was Tired of Losing a Portion of Its Audience
…so they decided to get rid of the whole thing.

If Christopher Guest taught us anything
…it should have been that it's the most mediocre talents who think of themselves—and speak—in the most profound and un-self-aware terms.

Wait now
No Monty Python's "I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio?"
I bet you they won't play this song on the radio,
I bet you they won't play this new $%^& song.
It's not that it's **** or #$*&^&* controversial
It's just that the @*% words are awfully strong.

Huh?
The who show?

The dance scene with the sad Teddy Bear costume
I actually said out loud, halfway through, "My brain is screaming" before stopping it right there.

Meh

NO
No no no no fucking no.

If…school
Probably not its overall name, but they all call it "College House."

And thing is, Christianity did not end the Roman empire at all. The two merged. Constantine adopted it not because he decided that was The Way, but because he believed Christianity's God had acted on his behalf in a battle, and as with all Roman religious views, he hitched himself to what he thought of as the winner.…

Agreement on RIVER'S EDGE and HEATHERS. Those say a lot more about being a teen in the 80s—or, really, ever—than Hughes ever did.
