For those who haven’t been introduced to these don’t musicians, yet. Young Mozart:

Thank you! I’m an atheist as well and I honestly found that claim on the author’s part to be one of the most ludicrously silly criticisms of a movie I’d ever read. I also don’t believe that supernatural girls can crawl out of tv screens to kill people just for watching a VHS tape, but The Ring scared the bejesus out…

I wish that people would stop talking about Regan stabbing herself in the vagina with a crucifix as a masturbation scene—it’s not—it’s a mutilation scene.

The Excorcist succeeds in the same way as its predecessor, Rosemary’s Baby (1968) and its successor, The Omen (1976). All three movies are based in ancient Catholic demonic lore, but none require the audience to believe it; the terror comes from the fact that Rosemary, Chris MacNeil, and the Thornes came from a place…

That’s not Satan, it’s a demon named Pazuzu. Father Merrick unearths an ancient statue of him on a dig in Iraq. This actually leads to some interesting speculation about how old the demon is and if he’s related to the Christian/Catholic heaven and hell dichotomy at all.

I can relate. I’ve dyed all my clothes and wallpaper in Scheele’s Green to get that beautiful Victorian look. The drowsiness, headaches, and vomiting are small prices to pay for a home that looks this good.

“But - but - why won’t you let me participate in your event raising awareness about problems I’ve spent my entire life enabling? Why are you being so intolerant?”

We are truly through the looking glass. These women are complaining to the people they’ve built their lives on oppressing that those they’ve oppressed haven’t welcomed them in a warm enough embrace. With a straight fucking face.

When Eric Draven returns from the dead, he spends a surprising amount of time shredding emotive guitar solos in the smashed-up apartment that, a year after his death, no landlord has bothered to rent out again.

I know this may make me seem like a pretentious SOB, but I have sometimes decided on what book to keep based on whether or not I could ever incision myself having friends over and wanting to or needing to walk to the shelf to look around for this particular book to pull out for some reason. Like “speaking about the…

The most fun RPG sessions I’ve ever had came playing It Came From The Late, Late, Late Show

Absolutely, I want to do a whole other post on adapting gameplay style to be more collaborative. Maybe some day Lifehacker will give Patrick Allan and me a tabletop RPG subdomain.

and ‘Josie and the Pussycats’ was an AV Club World of Flops Secret Success too, how soon they forget.

• Pretty much any company mention in the dumb-as-a-bag-of-hammers-but-goddamnit-it-makes-me-laugh Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (“Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell...”)

That Tweed Sneakers cut sounds like some Red Hot Chili Peppers first album funk, not ska- so let’s put on our creepers and parkas, check the mirrors on our Vespas, clear out our palates with a Krakatoa, dial up some English Beat, and just start. the fuck. over.

If you are prone to crying (I stress cry) or something is happening in your personal life where you know you might be upset and cry at work, consider packing yourself an emergency kit with eye drops, powder or foundation, mascara, and maybe a candy bar to cheer yourself up. So at least you can recover gracefully.

I’ve been doing all of these tweeks for a long time now. I really have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I’ve never used it with my real name, more because I have a stalker than any other reason, but also because I have a handful of friends I keep in contact with that way and I don’t have tons of others trying…
