You know, I thought: this is probably a practical joke, and I'm a sucker, but oh well.

I'm glad I stuck with the video until the end. Because, as someone else stated, it seems a bit long for the joke. But the possessed computer and other bits at the end were appropriately, well, weird.

That may be true…but do any of these supposedly smart demo executives think that the demo who would be watching GMA would know Garner from 'The Notebook'?

I was saddened to hear of his passing.

The stop motion reminds me more of some of the old Sesame Street short films rather than say, Rankin-Bass.

If I accidentally send a text to a non-cell, I just get an error message. Something about invalid number and an error code.

Weird. I have never had that experience, and yet I know my mother often forgets which is my cell and which is my landline.

Wait, people send texts to your landline, and your phone tells you that? Is that some option you pay for, cause i have never heard of this, and yes, you are right, that would be creepy to hear.

*shrug*

I guess for me, if I leave a voice mail or call, i get annoyed to get a text back. If it was something simple enough to text, like 'please stop by the store and get milk on the way home' to my wife, its because it doesnt need a response and she is at work.

2. Word Crimes
3. Word Crimes
4. Word Crimes
5. Word Crimes
6. All the others, with Tacky and Sports Song ahead of the rest.

I wanted to like it. They lyrics were pretty funny at mocking sheltered suburbia types (except the bit about getting a call…do people prefer texting over a call? I hate texts.)

Well, I'd have to do that anyway, with the whole 'no mobile devices'

I don't care what anyone says, that Gin Blossoms song was written by Marshall Crenshaw, and is an absolute gem of a jangly, power pop song. Not sure if it stands up to anything on his debut, but compared to the rest of that list, it's genius.

Respectfully, if a website based in the US has a US born writer, asking a US born performer about a song, and a US born commenter uses the phrase "one hit wonder", the context is probably "one hit wonder in the US".

And those lawsuits should have also been met with a big middle finger salute. Your second point makes sense, however.

I think King is wrong. I can't see Voight in that role. Not once the guy goes nuts.

Interesting that King doesn't like the movie. Its about as dark and creepy a film that I have ever seen. It also is very open ended about whether its supernatural or just a descent into alcohol enhanced madness. I like that open ended-ness?

*shrug*

Wait, what? Why the hell don't my friends tell me about this stuff?
