I cannot wait for the inevitable "Lou Reed is a dickhead to interviewers" montage to get cobbled together and linked to one of these obituaries. He was uncompromising—sometimes rightfully so—to anyone who tried to waste his time in an interview with neglectful research or disrespectful questions. Granted, he did the…

TWO hundred. FORTY dollars. Worth of puddin'.

Full Metal Jacket disclosure:  R. Lee Ermey sits in the passenger seat and yells at me as I drive around town.  That's my car soundtrack.

Ron.  Ron never changes.

I grumbled (and laughed) about Nina flipping through her note cards too, but I was ultimately glad on how the decision went down.  If Nina really wanted to make amends on her bias toward commercialism, the only way to really do it is to climb in the DeLorean, go back in tiiiime, and vote for Mondo instead of…

Okay, so, where was I before I was so rudely interrupted?  Yes, it's nice to be alive after all that was happening a week ago as I'm typing this, but it's even nicer that the correct winner was crowned, on this most majestic of…ahh, screw it, I'd rather see Richard win if it would keep me from going through another…

At this time, I would like to begin the "let us now praise Sonia Saraiya" thread.  I will not say that your task in bringing back Project Runway coverage was "thankless", because you contributed a great deal of cogent analysis on winning and losing looks, some perceptive comments on fashion terminology, very good…

@avclub-195704d42ca54b9b5438856244f7ad95:disqus , we eventually slept slept, but every time we tried to close our eyes for a little while, some new development would happen, like the SWAT team showing up to search our house, or the discovery of the boat toward the evening (we live INCREDIBLY close to Franklin…

Au contraire on Tsarnaev's location, @drdarke:disqus ; the boat is less than two blocks from my house.  I link a map in the first line of my Part II comments, if you want to check it out.  The gunshots at 6:58 P.M. jolted us awake from one of our many failed nap attempts that day.  We could hear the applause from our…

"Business is slow.  The boss told me to see if I could get another room out of you."  Yeah, I couldn't quite hate him for trying that tactic; a different (lesser) actor might have twirled his mustache a bit too much at that moment and turned the hotel clerk into a hatable opportunist.  MBJ made him a more amusing—and…

For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when John C. McGinley sings "When A Man Loves A Woman".

Nice, deep Random Roles reference, @avclub-a00a91831315d66f08e1b91d10fe503d:disqus .  Wonder what Denzel's people will say about this next.

Well, it looks like I got what I wanted two weeks ago.  The question is, did I want it any more?  I'm not suggesting that it was a mistake to let Chia Daniel go, exactly, but some of his pieces in Tim's review—I'm thinking of that leather jacket—were dynamite, and his overall level of taste seemed to have vastly…

Maybe in your timeline you were, but in this one, the outcome was a bit different.

I'm only happy when I strain
Spaghetti through the sieve my tattoos meas-ured
And with the bike messenger pix I treasure
I'm only happy with the strain

"A NAKED sleepover woooo!"

You know what I hate about this season?  That nobody in the top TEN really lost.  Michelle got a stay of execution that definitively turned the tables for her, four of the "bottom five" got a free trip to Europe, and Tu got to take a bus and say "look at all the building!"  Layana may have been sent home, but she…

Will she settle for someone who looks more like Hodor?

Ach, I see what you were going for, @avclub-91a1465556065408e75a9cdf5689893a:disqus .  Silly me to miss your star observation from last season!  I clearly did not weeeen in this exchange.

Not First, Not Furious.
