Blast Off Country Style probably isn't playing with them because that girl's too old to make herself barf onstage anymore.

I'll definitely take Malcom X over Perfect Teeth…anyone else have the PF 7" box set version? Soes the normal version of the album have a computer voice announcing each song before it plays?

Dammit!
Should have never moved to Portland. First Yura Yura Teikoku and now this. Oh well, at least I saw them lots way back when…a split bill with Stereolab in a some little joint (I remember balking at the unseemly $10 cover!) was divine. Mark Robinson once took one look at my homemade Unrest shirt (the gold Edie…

I was honestly just curious how both writers managed to single out all the same things and make the same points. Guess there's just one way to digest this film and her work in general…but yes, very nice little joke—I take it you are the dick in my neck?

I will gladly go see
anything Nicole Holofcener makes…perfect batting record in my eyes. Having said that, I thought it was strange reading this review that it was written by the same person that interviewed her…til I looked and realized that it wasn't. What's with the hive mind?

Doug Spinuzza
Never seen this, but I found Kevin Chamberlain in the clip to be obvious and boring, and just as comic book artifical as the lighting. So maybe it was the low expectations, but I was fairly blown away by Spinuzza. Does this guy blow it out of the water or what? This should have led to bigger things. A…

Can't believe no one has mentioned…
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, which does almost exactly the same thing, except to my mind funnier when it isn't being too stupid), and does stretch the conceit out over a whole series quite well… http://www.youtube.com/watc…
I mean, how much better are those opening credits? the show…

Never said it wasn't an impressive accomplishment. Lots of things are. Somebody could replicate this exactly and it would be an impressive accomplishment, wouldn't it? How would you feel watching that? How would you feel watching another band do the same thing, tweaking it to fit their song? Apparently you would be…

Is it just me?
But who cares?
I was fascinated by Rube Goldberg contraptions when I was a kid, but this doesn't really add much except exhausting length and impressive camera tracking. It's not elegant or anything, like those car ads that started the trend way back. This just feels like a much needed nail in the coffin…

Sort of…it explains why it was so slapdash (unable to surmount obstacles very well, I guess), but not why it appeared to be shot on video…maybe it was so badly shot it looked like video? That's a first for me…

What a pity you failed to ask
why the ending was shot in HD instead of film, adding a terrible look to the insult of a laughable, frenzied mediocrity of a climax. Better she had kept wandering around the house and then gone home than have West break out the silly monster mask and spastic editing.

Hello? Hello? Dammit is this your voicemail?

Absolutely—sixties nostalgia started tentatively with the release of Platoon and was in full swing by the end of the eighties. This was around the time rock stations became "classic rock." Before that transition became official I remember my local station would have "Psychedelic Psupper" from like 5-6 every day, and…

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Repo Man? Hello?

TMITGSWAS—
totally true, and I never thought about it quite like that. Don't forget American Graffiti, which at least was maybe not so funky-weird…although I was only five in 1977 so I'm not too upset by it. Speaking of the Grease theme song, I remember my dad angrily turning it off the car radio on the way to church…

and we really enjotted your fail. NEXT!

Brusha brusha brusha!
One of those random things you can always depend on everyone knowing.

Yes, as my icon might indicate, I got sucked in by the whole revolutionary "you are there" 3D realism bullshit. And that's what it is. The 3D is fine, but I'd rather watch Jaws 3d or Dial M again, something where the effect creates a unique layered experience (think Viewmaster), rather than the perfect field of depth…

Really thought that was gonna sweep the list. I'm always a little annoyed with myself for caving in to these things, even though I rarely do ("hmm, Forrest Gump is on TV…guess it couldn't hurt to see what the deal is…" Two hours later—"Dammit!")

…which reminds me, at Space Camp (I *think* it should be capitalized) I was reading A Clockwork Orange, the edition with a glossary, which I pretty much memorized til I was conversant in the Russo-future slang. Oh, and I didn't play D&D, but I did buy the books and memorize all the rules and create dungeons—but I…
