Adding to the dating woes thing, may as well put this down somewhere.

A friend sent it to me, and I really couldn't tell if he was being sincere or not when he told me he thought it was deeply moving.

I'm just not feeling this at all. I like 80's revivalist stuff (Emotion by Carly-Rae Jepsen gets so much play from me), but it's a kind of mush. Are the people saying this is a great pop record listening to something else? I've yet to find a hook that's stuck with me, musically or emotionally.

I felt that the event at the mid-point was an absolute punch to the gut, a real cosmic 'fuck you'. I left the cinema winded, but to be honest that might have been from holding my breath from the intricate Japanese snack foods and unwashed bodies the local University anime club almost ruined shit again with.

Oh man, the best kind of character, for sure!

I've only ever really liked him in Heatvision and Jack, but yeah, he's fine in this. I never felt his band would be called 'Sonic Death Monkey' though. Even ironically. That fell kind of flat for me.

Nu-Metal felt really negatively tribal, though. Like you could listen to NIN and Manson and Limp Bizkit, but not Radiohead or Daft Punk (at the time).

I hear ya, I get those issues myself where the only thing I really have the capacity to enjoy is video games (and even then, whether I'm enjoying them or just passing the time with them is debatable). I find it a useful 'canary in the coal mine' type of thing for a depressive episode if I lose the ability to be fired…

Well, passion is an admirable trait.

Yeah, levels haven't really been a thing for quite some time. Expand the parameters of this survey a bit and I guarantee you that model plane from GTA:SA would be in the 'worst' section, though.

Yeah. Okay, so, I guess it also always makes me keenly aware that as special as anything I'm feeling in that moment might be, it's a cliché that's been felt more keenly and expressed more eloquently by others. It has this uncanny effect on me. Instrumental music doesn't help much, because then it feels even more like…

You might have stopped Tool fans breeding, so you made the right call.

I've never really liked having music on at all. Stuff with lyrics will become pin-sharp and embarrassing to me, and having a shuffle on and having 'Portions for Foxes' come on almost ruined something quite sweet for me. Also, my iTunes REALLY seemed to like Ice Cube and NWA that night, which is fine, but gave the…

The make up's great, but I found the blending of the different parts wasn't really to my taste and I could never buy that they got all these parts of a similar size to fit together so neatly with stitching and some cybernetics. If he was a genetic/cyborg chimera I might have bought it more.

That's a bad episode, but as a fan of silly, naïve 90s depictions of technology, I got a big kick out of the demon and I think that's the one with Willow's amazing OCR scanner too.

Really? That's the nadir of the entire series for me. Preachy and the 'bad' kind of silly.

I like that episode, it feels like the show is having fun 'covering' an earlier version of itself.

I found it really ballsy for a cult show to say 'look, sometimes nerds are awful'. There's a lot of media where the geek gets shot down by the popular girl or whatever and very little of it ever addresses that liking Dungeons and Dragons and Rush doesn't make you a better person than someone who's 'basic' or the sense…

"Me Casio, su Casio" still gets quoted by me as often as possible.

And lo, the antichrist was born.
