@avclub-df80f70f60b1c678f8c91696f4a54f5f:disqus , I realize that the superbowl is now a cultural moment and not a football game, i would just like to see that go in the opposite direction.   Most fans are males, but the superbowl is marketed to everyone EXCEPT straight males because they know that demo is going to…

yeah, i am not gonna lie, i cried.  So powerful.  I can't imagine it Todd, especially if its a friend/colleague.  He sounded so…empty.  But it was also very life-affirming, you know?  Reminds me of that Buffy/Whedon quote: "the hardest thing in the world…is to live in it"

SKRIMP and blopster! making me laugh just thinking about it

I think i will likely do the same, sir.  The beginning chapters are awesome but the tone of the interviews is so celebratory of Schrader and (so far at least) non-critical of any of his choices or the impact of his work.  Too many books to read :(

If Eagles of Death Metal are playing, that means Queens of the Stone Age might also play, right? Right???  Goddamn i cant wait till the new album and hopefully Grohl joins them on tour.  FRESH POTS!

@avclub-de4a08d644135b09bd7e1a592dff156b:disqus , sorry for doubling up on your fuck yes, but it is warranted. 

FUCK YES.  Mishima is such a unique film; each of the divided portions has different color palettes, the narration works well and the story is just so bizarre.  I cant believe this movie was ever made.

WOW. just..wow. I am reading "Schrader on Schrader", a book that was written after Mishima but before his tailspin, as O'Neal mentioned, and its one big circle-jerk, although fascinating.  I gotta see this flick. I thought Autofocus, Mishima and the Yakuza were freaking awesome so it is sad hearing Schrader went from…

@avclub-734ffb84cfa214922893511fae356b45:disqus , NFL fans got thousands of signatures from fans begging the league to get rid of Nickelback and hire a better band, as the game in question was in Detroit, and Detroit has a history of some great non-mullet sporting bands.  Unfortunately it all fell on deaf ears and…

Yea he gave a really cool interview at MIT a few years back which was linked to in the imdb forums (also possible i found it here at the good ol' AVC) where he talked about it.  Seems pretty rare, as most junkies are too fucked up to even go out for more junk, let alone working in a high-pressure, quick turnover field…

or the Sandusky report. 

dang, he's the world's greatest Detective, a scientist and he has abs that would make Ryan Gosling beg for buttermilk.  I just wish i could be his non-union Mexican equivalent.

I just wonder how they are going to carry on without Left-Eye. 

why cant the NFL ever put on a decent half time show? If i were Goddell (and god-willing, someday i will be NFL commissioner) i would do the following:

FINALLY! now we can rest in peace
hopefully they can team up with Tom Waits and Carly Rae Jepsen for the superbowl halftime show from hell

David Milch was a working heroin addict throughout his tenure on these shows and produced some of his best work.  really makes you think (about doing heroin)

really?  I havent listened in a while and right before i stopped, he went missing and was almost considered KIA.  is he confirmed to have returned? if so, YAY!!

Big Jay's made me laugh harder than any other ep of WTF.  There are plenty of eps with poignant moments, major insights, etc.  But his stories about the whores and dressing up like ghetto elmo made me laugh til i cried.

I saw Kids when I was 13 and it kind of changed the course
of my life.  My best friend’s mom took
him and his 15 year old sister to see it as a cautionary tale.  She also liked to make them listen to Dr.
Laura for cautionary tales, that kind of mom. My buddy’s mom fucked up pretty
bad because her plan backfired and we…

yeah, his interview on WTF was pretty tough to listen to.  He spends a lot of time alone, walking around crowded promenade's and sitting by himself in busy restaurants.  sounds brutal.  He also mentions that the jerkoff paparazzi's that hang out around hollywood taunt and tease him for being a d-level loner.  the…
