H.R. Giger, Debbie Harry, giant acupuncture needles? Sign me up! The album art for "Koo Koo" is pure awesomeness. Also, the album is wildly uneven but "Oasis" is a terrific song.

Chumbawamba's cover art is mostly pretty bad — on purpose, I assume — but the cover for "Anarchy" is unforgivably awful. Look it up if you must.

That fucking King Crimson cover art. Nightmare fodder. I can't even look at it.

You have actually heard the word "irony" before, haven't you?

The songwriter doesn't seem to understand that a killing frost generally kills plants and not people.

"Last Kiss", a number-two hit in Canada in 1974, was a ridiculous piece of shit, and it wasn't any better when it was covered by Pearl Jam in 1999. Fuck that song and all the other dead-teenager songs of the era.

Split it fifty-fifty, no discussion, no argument, no drama. It's the fair thing to do. It's bad television, but so is this show, apparently.

Ditto. It's like she's being tortured and it's almost unwatchable. The rest of the movie pales in comparison.

For what it's worth, Roger Ebert loved it, and it is almost certainly the best end-of-the-world movie you've ever seen. Not a single subpar performance in it.

Have you seen Cronenberg in "Last Night"? He really is a good, understated actor and his character arc (such as it is) is heartbreaking.

I couldn't get all the way through Cosmopolis. I kept getting more and more irritated at this insular asshole until I couldn't take it any more: not really the director's fault, although I don't know why he chose that particular material. But then, I haven't loved anything Cronenberg has done since Spider.

And yet that piece of shit Bill Cosby is still alive.

She has so many good lines.

I don't know if anything will ever top this, honestly:

The whole "Gender Bender" thing was gross, but at least it gave Leela one of her greatest lines ever:

You're on the Internet and you can't take twenty seconds to Google "historicity" and discover that it means "historical accuracy"? Jesus.

Soderbergh hauled a good performance out of Jennifer Lopez, so he's kind of a miracle worker as far as actors are concerned.

Without a doubt.

I didn't hate it, either. It's got some great acting and fun writing and I could eat Bradley Cooper with a knife and fork, but there was no verve: it's a goddamned caper movie without the sense of fun or forward momentum. Imagine if Steven Soderbergh had made it!

A family whose members spend hours complaining about American Hustle? Are you currently adopting? Because I'm in.
