Gosling. I'd pay good money to see a Norton/Gosling fight.

Y'know, I skipped out on reading the book because I couldn't get past the first two pages of that horseshit, but I've never understood why so many people bitch about the movie being a 'celebration of nihilism' or a 'glorification of machismo' or whatever the fuck. The entire point seems to be that those things are…
I might actually like this idea better than the Mad Men reference one.
I accidentally stumbled onto that episode at age 10 or 11 and for the next fifteen years I was sure I had imagined it. Just … what?
I'm 31 and I STILL have the world's biggest ladycrush on Kim Deal. It's only right and natural.
Nobody's really interested in Braco until he grows a third leg.
I will forgive the man a lot just because of 25th Hour, which is one of my favourites.
Y'know, if The Empire Strikes back was made today, you can bet your taut, bobbing arse before the third act was done Han would be back aboard his beloved ship, maybe a little frostbitten but otherwise no worse for the wear. Luke, vastly under-trained and under-prepared for doing the light saber tango with Vader, would…
"Petebot is gonna be scummy and slimy, like a real marketing exec made of human meat-flesh! Yeah!"
I like to imagine Pete is actually a robot who is trying really, really hard to be the best darn advertising exec he can be. It makes him marginally more likeable when you imagine everything he says punctuated by 'Beep boop, darnit!'
I had a handful of movies I obsessed over when I was younger: The Land Before Time, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Jurassic Park, The Lion King. Now, looking back, my parents were very goddamned lucky that all these movies are pretty fantastic. Rewatching them now, though, there is only one I can still get an equal amount…
Oh, and it has this playing over it to boot, which strikes the elegiac/triumphant tone pretty well:
Oh yes it does. I guess the whole Writer Ex Machina bit wouldn't have worked in any other medium, but god-damn is it almost hilariously bleak.
Oh, that Plague Dogs ending. The book's finale is a relief after the previous 400 or so pages of unrelenting misery, but I have a soft spot for the animated adaptation's brutality.
Well, I for one cannot fucking WAIT until Drive hits ABC Family's waiting arms. It has everything you could want in a romantic comedy!
"Oskar Schindler is a workaholic with no time for family! But this summer, with a little help from his friends, he'll find out that the only thing that can set you free … is FUN!"
The ATM is replaced with BMO from Adventure Time! S/he wants to hug a stray cat! D'aww.
It's definitely closer to a Last Temptation of Christ than Oz. See also the X-Files episode that did the exact same thing, ALSO based on LTC.
Sean, be my Internet Wifeu.
Oh, and his autobiography is worth buying a million times over. He really was an excellent prosesmith.
