At first I thought I didn't have any stories like this…
and then I remembered begging to be invited to a sixth grade hot-tub party and then spending the whole time at the kitchen table with the girl's mom, talking about James Michener. In a related sidenote, James Michener was the reason I was the only person who had

Sorry, Bug, not The Bug. I even have it on 16mm-I should know what it's called. Got distracted by an electric cockroach in my wig.

I love The Bug
for how it gets all batshit at the end.

nevermind the movie, how's the OST?

Actually, I was just making fun of him for saying the same thing two different ways, and for it being a borderline ridiculous thing to say in the first place. Or at least, i was trying to.

or to put it another way…
On Is And Always Was, producer Jason Falkner avoids that trap entirely by making a record for Johnston, and not for his fans. But rather than an album to make people like Daniel Johnston, Falkner has made an album for Daniel Johnston to like. Although instead of catering to the fans, he lets

Convinced of the Hex…
is the only one of these songs I even like, and I like it a lot…I guess if it's the "worst song on the album" I should stay away. Context: I've found them boring since Transmissions, which I think is amazing and seemingly only shat on because it's not cool to like "She Don't Use Jelly" cause of

Bowling
I'm pretty over Moore at this point, but there is a gulf of quality between Farenheit and Bowling, the latter of which you would do well to see.

Are you kidding?
The scene depicted at the top was what made me give up and finally, finally shut this movie off. It just screamed "flopsweat," and I felt embarrassed for it and me.

TWfS—Ah, yes, okay—I never had time to read the superlong Friday Buzzkills and would just usually skim them for the one or two items that I found newsworthy.
Re: Nope—Sean O Neal is more or less the opposite of Amelie, who I find easily to be the worst thing about the site—in fact the only awful thing. It pains me to

Sean O'Neal…
the name sounds familiar, I must have read other things by you…but the "twee-peats" piece yesterday made me sit up and take new notice that somebody at the av club was writing the fuck out of something, and this did the same…I would read a book of these pieces if they were all this well-done (and i can't

What's going on with Madonna's arms? I mean, I know she's getting older, but still, what the hell is the deal with this? Dr. Roberts should have no trouble finding a vein…

Took me a minute to get that, but well done…

Forgive me—I guess I'm supposed to write "What the hell is wrong with you idiots, doesn't anyone over there know even a modicum of French?" before AV Club corrects its embarrassing error of its literal, google-style translation. So to recap, HEY MORONS, IT MEANS "TO EVERYONE." LOOK IT THE FUCK UP. Better?

yeah, seriously. I despise her and hate her in everything she's in, but how do you review the album and not say how fantastic that track is?

"Tout le Monde"…
…means "everyone." "All the world" is the literal translation, and if taken literally (not that there is a reason to) would imply a broader audience then "everyone."

Is that a joke? I don't get it.
Anyway, it doesn't look like it was on the Escape 2000 DVD, but i swear I've seen a shorter version of this somewhere, maybe like a 30 minute version…who cares, really…

This seems really familar
Wasn't it an extra on a DVD released years ago? Maybe Escape 2000?

Also, when I was a kid, Bloom County was like crack for me.

At the risk of starting a knee jerk trend for the rest of the thread…
No Windsor McCay? Really?
