I dunno, I really enjoyed Gran Torino. It's not up there with his best, but I liked watching Clint be grumpy for a couple hours. He gives me something to model my eventual curmudgeon image on.

And while they're at it, give us another season of Method & Red!

There were some good moments on the original. But they were just moments.

It's been far too long between Fight Night games. I guess nobody cares about boxing anymore.

I thought he met the Judge in the first chapter, when the Judge accused the preacher of pedophilia. Didn't he kill the bartender after that, after he'd been on the road a while?

S. Jerusalem - I had read The Road just before Blood Meridian, also. And I think I read The Road in one day, maybe two. I raced through the thing. Blood Meridian was a much harder read. I made it through, but it was rough. And I still don't really comprehend some of what was going on. I wanted to read it again, but

I think all we need to know is that the Judge does something completely unspeakable to the Kid. For the rest of the book, there was no holding back, no shame in showing extreme violence. I got the feeling that whatever happened to the Kid went far beyond any of the other violent acts in the book, which is saying a lot.

I don't remember that one, but my dad had Bill Gates' Super Secret Laptop

I barely make it by with a job, I shudder to think what I'd do if I lost it. Unemployment wouldn't be close to enough, and I damn sure wouldn't be getting a cushy severance package.

DEATH RACE 2000
Nuff said.

No, if it was made now, it would be Michael Cera.

Does IFC still do Samurai Saturdays? It was nice to be able to wake up and put on a samurai movie in the morning.

Does Darkman still hold up? I don't think I've seen the whole thing in about ten years. I'll probably have to give it a rewatch soon.

I think reclusive authors should hang out.
I just like to imagine Thomas Pynchon and J.D. Salinger having crazy, secret adventures together.

Stupid lag!
How am I supposed to watch people play video games like this?

Those were just the dark chocolate ones. They've since made them an official flavor. Which is good, since dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate.

Isn't our royal family the Obamas now? They went on a big date in Manhattan, you know!

Nonpareils are the best movie candy, but not Sno-Caps. You need to get the big, high-quality ones.

It was a very Letterman-like segment. As was the message from the Secretary of State.

Yeah, she's a lady wrestler, but I can't remember which one. There were a few of them named either "Tori" or "Torrie." Were there any named "Tory?" That could be a great gimmick for a British female wrestler.
