Some would beg to differ.

When did Miley Cyrus become a third-person pronoun? (And why wasn't I told?)

@avclub-de4a08d644135b09bd7e1a592dff156b:disqus Yeah, except then he also ends up going through life thinking "the remote control will fix everything, so who cares?"

I think my showing was about 1/4 full, and most of my enjoyment/interest came not so much from the film itself, but from the occasional audible reactions from the other viewers. I remember (SPOILERS) lots of sad, shocked sounds when the dog died, and lots of angry, "fuck this bullshit" sounds during some of the later

Counterpoint: Filmgoers like my mother, who when it comes to stuff like theme/subtext/etc, needs everything spoon-fed to her or else it'll escape her notice. Unless such things are spelled out pretty blatantly, the only thing she's typically paying attention to is "what happens next."

I thought he only knew ka-RAZY!

I thought for *years* that instead of "I started to worry" he was actually singing "I started to wear red." I still prefer my version, mainly because it seems like such a kickass manifestation of anxiety.

They've got plenty of tracks I'm happy to hear out of context. That's just (very much) not one of them.

I saw Matthew Fox and Amy Adams.

Well, I've always found the smell of Play-Doh to be mildly nauseating, so…do with that what you will.

Eww. How can you listen to ACYL without letting it segue into Brain Damage / Eclipse? It's like running headlong into a brick wall. (no pun intended)

Beth Orton - "Poison Tree"
David Bowie - "Sunday (Live)"
R.E.M. - "The Wrong Child"
R.E.M. - "New Test Leper"
Faces - "Stay With Me"

titifused?

Are you saying it's NOT supposed to be "four minutes and charge" ?

When you someone Krabbé it?

How about two dollars…and a CASIO!
