Yes, they are from right here in Vancouver — I heard "Swooner" a couple of times before it was released and I think I've seen them six or seven times now.

I play Love Junk probably every month or two.

I would if I had a restaurant.

I saw them a couple of times and they were amazing live — best I could do for this tour was seats behind the stage and pretty high up so I didn't bother. The TV broadcast was excellent — no ads, no comments or onscreen graphics except the little CBC bug in the bottom right, and they didn't cut it off to go to…

I read that one and It's Alive at least two or three times as a teen.

I read the novel version of that, if it's really Kaufman in the movie now I have to watch it.

How do they coordinate that ahead of time? Are they married or roommates or something? Weird.

In the old cartoon from the 60s he would swing on webs over deserts etc. with nothing taller than a cactus or short weird tree.

It's in both!

He really sounded like Harrison Ford in a few line deliveries in this episode.

That's what's so great about Canada, it's the same age across the whole country.

I think books 12 and 13 were probably the bottom of the barrel (the Jumpers books, unless I'm miscounting) but some people would say the Tachyon-centred book on his homeworld wasn't good (I disagree, but it was definitely different than most of the other books).

It's gone through a few different publishers, too. The first 3 books are one arc (oh, wow, I hope they have Fortunato on the TV show), then one book with a world tour, then a stand-alone book (kind of short stories but connected), etc. There's a great two-book sequence around the 1986 Democratic National Convention, a…

That is, the ones after the second one (and the 23rd comes out this month). Even the novelized ones follow several characters, each written by a different author.

I literally didn't recognize Winona Ryder for about half the first episode.
Yeah, I thought the same thing about the Bangles song — gave it a pass because the characters weren't listening to it.

Television, yes, but I was a big fan of The Clash in a small Canadian town in 1984, and I knew people who'd been fans longer than me. Combat Rock had gone platinum by the start of 1983.

I didn't realize how the hallucinatory Eugene was played differently until the reviewer pointed it out, that was well done.

It's a Korean word for 'penis'.

It's implied, Friends was only a half hour show.

#notalllibraries?
(the academic library I work at is on their second woman dean since I started working here (they had a guy in between them but he bailed))
I think the department heads are slightly more male but most of the head librarians are female.
