"DID YOU KNOW THEY'RE LIBERTARIANS AND THINK BOTH SIDES ARE STUPID?!" he writes about a show in its 20th season—that is infamous for hammering its ethos home—as he melts into the ground.

The first half of it is trippy as fuck, but I think that's just supposed to be emblematic of everything unraveling. It was tough to handle when watching week to week, but I like how it plays overall, as it's each element of the teacup spinning off.

It makes no sense. At no point do they actually "show" the perversity of the project, particularly in what would the life around it would actually be like. If anything, it reinforces it, especially with such a shallow homage to Barragán (oh nice, you can color match; your bump mapping still sucks) that sucks all

I hate this so much. It's pure, empty architectural speculation that refuses to take a terrifying subject seriously and engages it only tongue-in-cheek.

Agreed. It's a great name in terms of its ability to sound memorable and stick in your head, even if it ends up not being appropriate down the line.

Apparently Lost Boys doesn't count either, which is bullshit, I say.

Our worries over the USA PATRIOT ACT* did seem to come in waves, though. Obviously it passed easily, but I remember there was enough backlash to it only a few years later for me to write a research paper on it overstepping personal rights and granting invasive wiretaps during my junior year of high school (I found the

Isn't that what they did with Book of Shadows?

Oh my God, I can't believe it.

This is the rare GJI where the joke is actually really well done.

I bet he built the Death Star or something just by staring at metal and willing it.
