We'd like to be moved to another table.  It's those gentlemen there.
Are they bothering you?
Well, frankly, they're offensive…smelling.  I mean, they smell BAD.

Agreed.  But its champagne he's asking for.  And what really puts it over is that he's responding to the waiter saying, "wrong glass, SIR," by holding out his extra-large one.  God I love this movie.

Yeah, I went back and forth on including that King EP, but I really like it.  Crane can easily be #1 on this list, too.  I haven't heard this live album yet, but I was at the Chicago stop on this tour, and hearing them play all three Crane Wife songs in order was a very happy moment in my life. I hope to God they…

Yeah, Antoniooo is right, and I think we can all agree that Picaresque is a great place to start if you're going to get into this band.

That's not surprising, given the kind of band this is.  When you're going for the level of pageantry and dramatics that they often do, it's kind of a high-wire act with "irritating as shit" on one side and "profoundly moving" on the other.  As much as I absolutely love this band, I have to grant that there are some…

1. Picaresque
2. Crane Wife
3. The King is Dead
4. The Hazards of Love
5. Her Majesty
6. Long Live the King
7. Castaways

Such an awesome, easily missed small detail: that Frank was buying George a girl's doll.

Isn't it, "bones to pick with you people"?  Eh, who cares, either way it's vintage Frank-freaking-out, which is always good.

Don't feel bad even for a second about liking Reelin In The Years.  That song fucking rules.  God, just the drums on that song alone.  Every line of it is just dripping with this awesome bitter sarcasm.

God, I love The Dan.  My Dad was a huge fan in the 70's and my brother and I were both indoctrinated at a young age.  For all the times we listed to Gaucho, Royal Scam, Can't Buy a Thrill, etc. around my house, Aja was always my dad's favorite and it is still mine, as well.  Nothing at all perfectly summarizes Steely…

Miller!  You must see Inglorious Basterds!  Now!

It's true your honor.  This man has no penis.

The genuine smile he came out with as Pint of Plain won, along with that almost giddy "That is some great horse!" was an amazing moment.  He's doing incredible work on this show so far.  After seeing him do so many scenery chewing, hammy things, it's commendable how "small" he's going here, punctuated by these great…

I'm going to assume that he's trolling, and then erase the memory of reading this comment from my memory forever.  Because the phrase "maybe a decent film" fills me with murderous rage.

God I love The Long Walk.  That's all I wanted to say.

I can't argue with many of your points, NGR.  I agree that the NBA needs to lop 20 games off the schedule, but I won't say that the playoffs are too long… there are consistently at least one or two great early-round matchups every year.  Again, as a Bulls fan I can tell you that the Bulls-Celtics first round matchup…

I couldn't disagree with you more.  To me, college basketball is frequently nearly unwatchable, because the college players lack athleticism, skill, etc.  For example, I watched the MSU-Wisconsin game for an hour at one of the bars in the United Center last Thursday, while waiting for the Bulls/Celtics game to start. …

This has also happened to me, and was really fucking scary.  I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me just the tiniest bit afraid of pigeons, even to this day.
EDIT: And, I also live in Chicago. Maybe we put something in the water that renders our pigeons ultra-bold. Gaaah!

Professional basketball has never been better than it was during the golden era in the 1890s.
