EDIT: I stand corrected, thanks @Lynn McKenzie:disqus !

OK, I like Yellow Submarine.

I figured it was something like that. Still pretty impressive though. .237 songs - even if only half are written by the band is cranking out a track a month, on average, and studio recording takes some time and hours to get right.

I was just thinking that the Beatles were together for eight years and wrote 237 songs. Even if you only include the "iconic" albums, and there were 11 or 12, depending on how you count, that's still an amazing level of output.

Most of the people showing up in California were from elsewhere, and while Saund was in Congress he certainly wasn't a household name. And you have to remember that we're talking about most people — 90% of the US population didn't live anywhere near a Chinatown even, and East Indians were only known generally via Ravi…

Copy editing note:

You forget that Manson didn't always look like the scrawny psycho we see in the court cases and footage. He was a reasonably charismatic guy — he even got Brian Wilson to pay for studio time. It wasn't like he gave someone drugs and turned them into zombies thereby. (There are a lot of myths about the effects of LSD…

I liked that movie when I saw it decades ago, in a theater, but now… there's some deeply problematic representation of Asians there, and the quality of the film doesn't always get it past the stereotyping.

He's also giving Slynt a chance to redeem himself. If Slynt obeys, great. If not, well… In some ways he was offering Slynt a chance to prove he was the man he claims to be.

Ya know I never read it that way.

1500 comments here already.

Also props for the Williamson reference though I have only read Seetee Ship and Seetee Shock, but both are pretty cool political thrillers in their way.

I suspect that Sarah, given that she hung with Vic and an assortment of petty criminals, is less upset about murder. She isn't by any means a hardened criminal but probably can look past what goes on with Helena because she too has seen a lot of abusive shit, even if it wasn't her own.

I gotta say I picked up on the butter right away but there are at least a couple of prison break films where it is used, (or some other oil) — notably Alcatraz. (A guy uses it to slip past some bars he bent).

i don't think it's absolutely impossible, I guess, but I think it is hard to do well.

i never ran into the fabric but there were those anti-glare screens. The whole issue had to do with where human eyeballs are most sensitive. We pick up the most in the green-yellow wavelengths, and amber was a way to get you more light in the eyes without it having to be so intense, I think..

the song is Lou Reed, from "New York." When he wrote it the album was

I'd be curious to know what the AIDS crisis looks like to you. And if you've ever listened to "Halloween Parade." :-) Do us old farts getting weepy about it seem weird to you?

Ya know, I suspect he read Christopher de Bellaigue's book(s) —- they are really good, the guy lives (or lived) in Iran for many years, speaks Farsi, and really understands the culture well. Any of them is worth reading, especially because 90 percent of the other non Iranians writing about Iran don't even have a…

I think the dislike is the whiteness and I get that, for PoC it probably reads badly. But I ask because I am not gay, and therefore don't know first hand what a movie like this means, you know? I only have a sample size of three that I have asked about it directly.
