I'm a big fan of "Blank Slate" lyrically too.

Absolutely!

For years Berninger would pound a bottle of wine before National shows to get over his stage fright. So you're in good company.

Both book and film are pretty scary.

My favorite is "I pull off your jeans and you spill Jack and coke in my collar."

I remember that being an anecdote about Eraserhead.

Agreed. I've only seen that scene as many times as I've viewed the film (which, to be fair, I've watched around 20 times), but Llorando has been in my music library since 2002 and doesn't collect dust.

Agreed. He's talented, handsome, charming as hell, and does both drama and comedy well. Sometimes stars just don't align.

Yeah, he didn't "hit the big time" in a movie star way. Just slugged away as a working actor and writer. Barring early death we could get another 3 or 4 decades out of him, as well.

Absolutely. Perhaps the best performance of the decade (at least its first half) and one of maybe the top five worst Oscar snubs in the awards' history.

Sort of a third layer of her performance, only appearing in that fucking terrific scene.

The support group I never knew I wanted and am still unsure about!

Shit, he's pretty normal in Cuckoo's Nest.

Yes.

Same story here!

God dammit. What a great, sympathetic character in a show full of great, not-always sympathetic characters.

Yeah, I realized after my comment its inaccuracy. I just didn't feel like editing. :)

Respectfully disagree. A hot woman. Maybe Betty Boop's head more ovular and affected by laudanum.

Is she single?

OH SHIT YES.
