Came here to praise LJ as well.

Any word on Undead Nightmare yet?

Oakland, CA = 3 Championship parades; Zero shootings.

You’re a little dismissive of California there, guy. The Bay Area has freaking amazing pizza and the only people who go to CPK are tourists. Arizmendi and The Star in Oakland. The Cheese Board in Berkeley. Golden Boy in San Francisco. Pizza Antica in San Jose. All completely different and equally delicious. The style…

Luckily, Terry Gilliam knew of this practice at the BBC and had the foresight to buy all The Monty Python tapes when the show ended. A world without the Dead Parrot sketch is not a world I want to live in.

It was an amazing run and I will cherish all they did for the rest of my life. Will I pay as much attention in the future? Probably not. Same way I felt when the Niners went to Santa Clara. I work a mile from the Chase Center and have to drive by it everyday and have it rubbed in my face that my team is gone. But…

1989 was an insane year for pop culture. I was 13, mid-western and white and puzzling over what the fuck the Beastie Boys had done with ‘Paul’s Boutique’. After a viewing of ‘Batman’ I picked up the 12" of ‘Fight The Power’ because I had loved ‘Bring The Noise’ off the ‘Less Than Zero’ soundtrack. It blew my goddamn…

Ha! No. There’s supposed to be a picture of Cleopatra Schwartz but it wouldn’t upload. :-(

I prefer the Samuel L Bronkowitz version....

Algiers is fantastic. Saw them last year and they blew me away. Got my album signed by Matt as well.

I’m glad Demi’s doing well but the real question is how is Poot and has anyone seen her?

You totally buried the lede here. “Say Anything” director Cameron Crowe is running high school track.

Dickie Motherfucking Simpkins

Lifelong Spartans fan here. My uncle was the team physician back in the early 80's and I was gifted with Sparty gear every Christmas since I could walk and I am on the verge of quitting this team/school/organization cold turkey forever. It is impossible to justify to anyone with an iota of intelligence how I can root…

Well, I mean, it is a good way to tenderize meat.

I would also add “Waiting” to the list of this movie’s progeny. Seriously underrated take on corporate fast-casual dining and some very funny performances by Ryan Reynolds, Anna Farris and Justin Long, Hell, even Dane Cook is funny in it.

Ironically, when I dated in SF (now happily co-habitating, thank you) the fact that I wasn’t in tech or loaded was a HUGE plus to the girls I met. I remember one was so ecstatic at the end of the date that I hadn’t looked at my phone the entire time she was willing to get hitched right then and there.

What did Lorde ever do to you? ‘Melodrama’s incredible.

The first half hour of ‘Cool World’ is amazing. The soundtrack too. The last hour is hot garbage and that’s 100% studio interference. They hired the guy who did ‘Fritz The Cat’ and expected him to turn in a summer adventure blockbuster. It was screwed from take 1.

True but, again; hardcore gamers.
