Mmm… waiting for a backlash…

Aw, Pigley…

Well heck, now I really want to hear him sing that!

I found out my cat was embezzling from me.

What about wicker?

I grew up in Wisconsin with Minnesotan parents and played it both ways. I've never been able to work up much passion about it, shockingly enough, other than being exasperated by how inescapable a topic it is.

We hate it when our ducks become successful.

Every incoming class of Midwestern college freshmen has this goddamn debate over and over and over again. It's brought me close to madness.

One of the sweatiest performances I've seen, and all the more effective for it.

Now I'm gonna have "Jimmy Smits, star of Glitz" in my head all day.

Are you suggesting that Gillian Anderson has had her skull removed and replaced with a durable, experimental polyurethane compound that will theoretically slow the aging process and allow her to live several decades beyond the normal human lifespan? Because that's exactly the kind of rumor I'd throw my support behind.

Whatever it is, it'll be a proactive company with a totally outrageous paradigm.

I actually happened to see Far Away So Close before I saw Wings of Desire, which might have affected my take on the latter. I appreciate them both, but Wenders has just never really connected with me. I should probably revisit Wings of Desire some time. It's been more than a decade.

It's OK, but a lot more by-the-numbers than Island of Lost Souls. The guy playing the knife-loving serial killer is fun to watch, and it's less than 50 minutes long, so it's worth a glance.

I watched Torture Ship, a 1939 flick about a mad doctor running mind altering experiments on criminally insane convicts in international waters. It's kind of good. '30s character actors playing psychopaths are legitimately creepy.

Oh, for a teamster sub and someone for whom to wolf it.

I kind of wish I could order the Skip's Scramble just because Ron Howard told me not to.

Y'know how in old Loony Tunes cartoons the characters would eat chicken legs by taking one big chomp of meat and have only the bone left over? I wish very much that real chicken legs worked that way.

Perhaps you'd prefer something from our stew menu?

Such a product does not exist, sir! You must have dreamed it.
