Yes.

I've also noticed a class difference in those who liked the Smiths and Morrissey in the US and UK respectively. In the UK, a lot of people who liked the Smiths (as far as I can tell) were more working class, not hugely affluent, dressed fairly normally, etc. Whereas in America, where theres much more of a masculine…

I sent a friend who hates the Smiths (specifically because of Morrissey) "How Soon Is Now?" He then admitted that Johnny Marr is probably brilliant.

That interview was amazing. And for 5 seconds, Morrissey thought Johnny Marr might be coming onstage.

I loved the way he notes that he's been getting back into gardening.

That and Bon Iver.

I'm only on episode 5, but I like Zoe and Peter as developed characters the best. Zoe is meant to be a pretty awful person; I don't think she gives a shit about journalism. I think she, like Frank, wants as much power as possible, and only holds herself back a little because she's more naive than Frank is and isn't…

Well, shit, you can just watch Cabin in the Woods for that (and have Joss Whedon dialogue).

It's a really unusual movie; I was glad Tarantino picked it as one of his favorite movies.

Only seen half of it; I mean, a lot of it is just batshit or just awful, but I don't think there's a movie like it.

And its not like LBJ was the best guy anyway (or even decent and flawed). See also: entire Vietnam War.

Still hurting after a heartbreak, and yeah I'm with you there. It's remembering a feeling and how good it was even though it's gone.

Ripley is married (and actually kind of likes his wife), but he's sort of asexual: Ripley's sort of like a shape-shifter, in that he does whatever helps to survive and thrive, so most human emotions and passions fall by the wayside because they just don't interest him. He needs to attain power, wealth, and luxury. You…

Haven't seen this, but I'm a huge fan of the Ripley novels. I devoured the first three in about two days, and they're hilarious, dark, and written from the dry view of a total sociopath, albeit a pragmatic and witty one (After the first novel, Ripley only kills people when he views it as totally necessary). Therefore,…

Honestly, he, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Colin Farrell are decent in it (Farrell is just fun).

Credit to the Simpsons for introducing to me as a younger wee lad the ideas: (a) using animals in show business is kind of fucked up. (b) governments do not always have common sense. Hell, credit them for giving me the idea that most authorities are completely corrupt.

the key to loving this song is pretending the lyrics make sense and are extremely witty and fresh.

I watched the first British series pretty recently, and it holds up nicely-it's also something of a primer on how British politics works compared to American politics (for example, it seems like the Prime Minister is supposed to be the leader of his party, unlike the supposed separation of powers). Todd mentioned the…

Brideshead Revisited is the shit.

I do prefer Charlie to Willy Wonka-my father and I saw it in theaters and thought it was hilarious.
