Don't overlook Chris Bell's solo album I Am the Cosmos—it's great too.

I remember listening to Third for the first time and hearing "Kangaroo" and "Holocaust" and realizing oh hey that's Summerteeth. Both are so epic and woozy and also somehow very small and intimate.

me and my girlfriend were trying to even know what was in the emails that would have caused so many problems. couldn't think of one. comparatively to the other side…

I do and it was so good. I used to call my mom at work and sing Old Turkey Buzzard and then hang up.

I loved Lyle The Intern so much. I feel like that was the second Golden Age of Letterman—when he would play that clip of Old Turkey Buzzard and John Ashcroft singing Let the Eagle Soar. Good times, man.

it's low on my list of things that are bumming me out—but the fact that fucking guy was right about the election is a bridge too far!

don't be fatuous Jeffrey

The whole "Jefferson" bit from 30 Rock.
Van Morrison in The Last Waltz—kicking like there's no tomorrow.
Side One of London Calling
and shit man—this morning especially "Diamonds in the Mine" by Leonard Fucking Cohen

This is as thorough as Maude Lebowski's doctor

Bitch was the worst song of the 90's

I was watching the Bill Clinton American Experience this morning to get me into the electoral mood and all my 90's based rage at Newt came flooding back. that goddamn big ball of grey

I think you're right about the stuff in Repulsion being French New Wave influenced. I noticed it looked a lot like Breathless too.

Looking at the other nominees—it's an impressive year. Battle of Algiers, Faces, Planet of the Apes, The Producers…

No sir—it did not. Rosemary's Baby and 2001 both came out in 1968 neither nominated for Best Picture. Oliver won that year.

Repulsion is also about being in your apartment alone for a long time. Polanski and tight enclosed spaces—he has claustrophobia issues. Knife in Water, Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, The Tenant, Death and the Maiden—that's a master class in making someone feel very uncomfortable and in some instances the walls do…

I had a job interview yesterday for part time job at Barnes and Noble and I was asked to sell my favorite movie to someone—which this is—and I said well it can be viewed as a film about how it sucks to move and what happens if your neighbors are overzealous.
but—for reals—the way the camera creeps around corner like…

I couldn't remember if he was the one who said that line or not. So good.

I'm disappointed his work on Documentary Now didn't come up—but Black Dynamite! Black Dynamite and the Big Lebowski are the only two movies having watched them once I watched again immediately.

Cliffhangers is easily the best Price is Right game.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre always scared me just on principal before I even saw it—but once I saw it I realized how funny it is. It's creepy for sure but it's not scary. But when the dad is yelling at the hitchhiker brother for what Leatherface did to the door—that's gold, Jerry.
