It's mostly that people are so obsessed with authenticity and get angry when it's challenged, even though both book-series are sold as fiction.

Pretty sure Knausgård already beat you to the punch.

Oh no, not another "My Struggle" controversy.

I should really rewatch Taste Of Cherry sometime. I
watched it when I first got seriously into film, but in retrospect I
don't think I had the insight to actually appreciate it at the time. It
sailed right over my head.

Rate Your Music is very obnoxious in general, though

"Assisted Living" by Nikanor Teratlogen is probably the most disturbing and horrifying novel I have ever read. It's basically about a hyper well-read, white-trash grandpa who lectures, abuses and grooms his grandson into becoming the same kind of shit-head he is, while they abuse, kill and demean everything and…

Robert Plant forgot his lyric sheet while perpetually suffering from a nervous breakdown.

Hobbits and handjobs.

I gotta be honest: I still dream of Timothy Dalton being the Bond of the 80's, from For Your Eyes Only to License To Kill.

My favourite was the one about the guy that started to cry during Ladder 49 at a friend's place, so he took a shower there to hide the fact that he cried, leading everyone to think he had shit himself.

Even if some of their last episodes haven't been up to their standards, they still won't hit the lows of HDTGM, which is just a glorified commercial/demo reel these days.

The bit about Tom Berenger participating in Mortal Kombat in The Substitute is one of their most hysterical bits. That took me so by surprise I had to supress my laughter in the mall to avoid being taken for a loon. I probably failed.

Gary Indiana.

Good list, but no Child In Time is a pretty huge miss IMO.

I always assumed that the apocalypse had already happened by the time you start up the game, and that you are essentially playing through the aftermath.

When I was a teenager, I dismissed Deep Purple as a wanky jam-band that got big because of their one gigantic hit. This was caused entirely by my first exposure to them being (aside from Smoke On The Water) one of their live albums with David Coverdale.

"If I ever end up like U2 slit my throat with a garden vegetable."

Cosmos is also based on a Witold Gombrowitz novel, and that alone qualifies it as a must see for me.

The We Hate Movies podcast once suggested that Halle Berry should play Michael Jackson to restore her reputation, ala Kate Blanchett as Bob Dylan in I'm Not There.
