That's crazed Viking sex to you, Jesus!

I don't think it's controversial to say that The Road Warrior > Mad Max > Beyond Thunderdome, but it's interesting (and perhaps an indicator of what's interesting about these sorts of movies) that if you were looking for "quotable" things from any of them, that order would be exactly reversed.

Yes. Beethoven's…is it the Pastorale? Well, it's a sobber, now, for me.

@avclub-4c56756898d633b36107f305da70351d:disqus I'd love to, except that I moved to Phoenix a few months ago. This accounts for my dire attitude toward things, now. Keep it real, back in the promised land, yo.

The Mirth? Global? There are a lot of nice, reasonably-priced places to eat in Lawrence.

I'd like to introduce a phrase, if you haven't heard it yet: "It Gets Worse."

I, for one, have never found Helen Mirren that attractive. Even with her pants off.

Man, when I watch the show it makes me want to move to Portland. It reminds me a lot of Lawrence, KS, actually, where I used to live and used to really like living.

I haven't read this, but something about the scenario as outlined above does seem to reek of bullshit. I've been trying to write an ag-based sci-fi for a while now, and there's a big, big problem with the "meat walls", no matter how awesome they'd look in a Cronenberg movie. If you have people just barely eeking it…

Oulipian experiments? F. Scott Fitzgerald pastiches? They're all here!

Dude, if you were an artist, you would have put that shit in a museum/book/movie and cast a vaguely disapproving light on it. But having it in your house? No wonder people are appalled.

Wow, a real biastioc link. I read comments about that guy all the time, but I was starting to think that he was kind of like a pervy A.V. Club unicorn. Then I visit The Lovely Bones review, and there it is:

Yeah. I wasn't aware anyone didn't like The Frighteners, actually, as everyone I know who's seen it, digs it.

Ah. His assistant will transcribe it, and lo: there was Actors Anonymous…

That's Paul $imon, I think you mean.

Dudes, she perfectly captures the zonked-out depression of the 2010s. Like Cobain, she is a symbol of misplaced idealism whose ultimate demise will catapult her to the stature she obviously deserves.

See, that's what I've always liked about Ke$ha (dammit, I'll give an artist the spelling she deserves). If you listen to her songs, they seem each to have the universal message of: "I AM LOST! I AM DYING! TURN THE MUSIC UP!"

The Fly > The Fly

Hey, cool. Seems like that's been in the works forever.

Just wondering, @avclub-3bca94e353e508c1a49bf984fc5c346d:disqus, when do you loathe him? I'm in the "universally love" camp of Kool-Aid drinkers, and I need to sharpen my defences.
