a remembrance of the man cannot be complete without mentioning his guest role on the episode “Hobo 13" of Invader Zim, in which he played a wonderfully bizarre version of the role he was known for/typecast as, with the script calling for an exasperated Ermey to utter things like “From now on, the loser will be sent…

Celtic Pride is just awful in just about every conceivable way, a complete waste of its cast (although I guess Aykroyd at that point probably had nothing better to do than write Nothing But Trouble II), which makes it no surprise that it was co-written by Judd Apatow.

No, just employed Sampson.

MHTRTC is a “sixty-ten” to Geogaddi’s 70.

Roygbiv is a certified stunner of a track, one of those personally perfect songs I can just put on repeat. It’s gorgeous. It’s happy, yet haunting. Its harmonic progression is satisfying as fuck. I hope that piano and synth bass line are waiting for me when I die. I could listen to it forever.

Thank god AV Club exists so that I can assure myself that some other weirdo immediately thought of Beck at that moment.

As for Illuminatus! I think Robert Shea must have served to temper Robert Anton Wilson’s wilder flights of fancy and plot gymnastics. I love the trilogy to this day (and will argue that it holds up remarkably), but Wilson’s solo Illuminati-related stuff is hard to read. His essays are... interesting, in many cases..

You might not know if you haven’t read a lot of Straub, but he’s a master of atmosphere and not great at action, where King’s the other way around.

Ahh, fair enough. De gustibus non est disputandum!

RESURRECT ORIGINAL 70MM PRINT ON PLANET CHICAGO.

It’s always nice when the carefully stage-managed, anodyne routines of late-night television are replaced by other carefully stage-manage, anodyne routines.

Who Jackie?

The one about how that little kid got eaten by an alligator because of white male privilege or whatever is sure up there. 

You are the joke in the comments section :)

I am completely, 100% cool with calling Che on some bullshit, but I can’t get over this fucking sentence.

Have you, uh, ever seen a Wes Anderson film?

Best damn surgeon in Korea! Had a bit of an attitude, didn’t like authority much, but I seen him once repair a boy’s entire lymphatic system in the freezing cold with artillery raining all around the camp! I think he was drunk at the time.

YES - my pet peeve is blogs reporting on things that are trending on Twitter and reddit that have been known for years.

Call if a phoenix all you want but that’s a goddamn dragon, and I’ve got the huge stack of Weis and Hickman books in my childhood bedroom to testify to my authority in this matter.
