"Run Lola Run" also does that: it's really jarring, but fits the overall tone of the film.

I just finished watching that video. A probably unimprovable rendition of a great, great song.

It is one of the all-time great videos, that's for sure — pure style.

I was surprised they didn't talk to him about that. He played an out-and-out monster and he was unexpectedly great — and he got to (inadvertently) answer two of the show's big questions, which is where gravelings come from and whether they can be killed.

On the one hand, "superior" does generally appear on lists of absolute adjectives: either something is superior or it isn't, in the same way that one is either pregnant or isn't.

Listen to the Flop House dissection of "Nine Lives" (http://www.flophousepodcast… and then see if you still think it's worth watching. You couldn't pay me to see it.

That's what regular old Bluetooth-but-with-a-cord-connecting-them earbuds were invented for: no cord connecting them to the device, but if one pops out, which it never does, they can't get very far. I love mine (Philips SHB5850BK/27) to bits.
