I was convinced "The Beast from the East" was a literary masterpiece when I was 8 or 9. "My Best Friend Is Invisible" also had a mindblowing-to-a-child twist ending, if I recall.

True. I've heard the same accusations of condescension and cynicism leveled at the makers of "American Movie," but I've always seen that as a sweet, cockeyed love letter to low-budget filmmaking and a portrait of this troubled dude who will do anything to get his movie finished. You can laugh at the subjects, but I've…

I had never heard of "Demon Lover Diary" until just now, but it looks like there's a copy on YouTube. If it's the proto-"American Movie" it sounds like, I'm already sold.

The headline he glances at is "Police Doubt Fire Was Accidental."

So you're saying I SHOULDN'T show up to the theater with my John 3:16 sign? DAMN IT.

Good points, well argued.

This makes me so, so sad.

From what I understand, it was an EPIX fail.

What's worse than the Pixies' newest EP? The Pixies' last EP.

That Madonna cameo was so painfully awkward and brought that skit to a screeching halt. The silence that followed her putting in her grill seemed to last for a goddamned eternity.

30 seconds at a time, you buy a Dodge Durango every time.

He once punched a hole in a cow just so he could see who was coming up the road. TO BRASKY!

"If you drop a phonograph needle on Brasky's nipple, it plays the Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds.'"
