Thanks all. Theakfreakness was chosen because a) I was hoping it had a song about Rubenesque honies and b) second albums are often the place where most groups get their shit together.

Bill Murray was in my town and everyone who's met him has nothing but nice things to say about him.

Haven't listened to White Stripes since De Stijl. People tell me that superficial similarities aside, these two are quite different. Having slept on Black Keys forever, am downloading Thickfreakness now.

Backlash my ass. He's a fine actor who's relying on stock tics which were quite annoying to begin with. I'm not saying he should stick to muted artsy projects. He was fun in the first Pirates movie, which is quite unwatchable when he's not on screen.

Lone, what's wrong w/ that? I wouldn't want Scarface to make nonblack* music either.

I like Harvard Professor. The kid wore his heart on his sleeve. A refreshing change from the trolls and bitchass snarkmongers.

Tasha's Depp diss
Was the best part of this talk. Any actor who gets compared to Robin Williams should commit Seppuku. I say this as a Dead Man-period fan.

The fun begins
when you crash your machine several times. As someone said below/above, fuck Apple w/ a bowling ball and Walter Sobchak's baseball bat.

Hey Elsesser, fuck you. Most of us, unlike those wrinkly old men, have a very short career span.
Sincerely,

Signature dialects
Palin's floksy-speak is carefully cultivated and goes up and down as needed. The rural Americans I know say a hearty "Fuck you" to that.

You live in a box
I laughed out loud at that. That whole monologue was a sneakers ad many years ago, Nike I think.

Harvard Professor,
What's w/ the new theme? I'd humbly like to direct you to your own DFW cut & paste job. In a nutshell, "We hate it yet are obsessed w/ it." Just let it go man. Some Haters are good and some aren't. Finding new hateworthy pop-cultural inanities is a slightly more interesting job than say, being an…

To bring this thread back to The Knife, Karin Dreijer Andersson of the Knife loves Phil Collins.

I'm with you crick. This is to music videos what Kenny Bania is to humor.

The new Knife
Is weird even by their standards.

It's not bad, but it just made me go back to the classic ones.

I liked the first 30 minutes and then it all went to hell. The Sartre reference was a comically bad attempt to sound serious. Hated the water column bullshit.
The Arthur C. Clarke quote sounded like a cop-out since Kelly really couldn't really pull it off.
"I don't know how it works, sufficiently advanced technology,…

Il etait vraisemblable que tous les faux semblants
De la farce humanitaire aboutiraient au neant
C'est une boule a facettes comme dans les discotheques
Ca reflete a la lumiere mais en fait, ffft ! du vent
J'aime les images fortes car je suis comme toi
Le poids des mots et le choc des photos

It also has a rape in it and I agree it's a great and a very disturbing movie.
The scene where the little kids are confronted w/ the true hideousness of their profession was really heartbreaking. God, I need to erase that memory.
Did you see the documentary about the favelas in DVD extras?

Maiden and Dylan are individually awesome. Smith and this movie is a turd-on-turd collision.
