… and with a side of deep-fried self-loathing.

That's some nail on the head shit right there Decals. Legacy burden indeed.

I feel the same way. And that is why I think they're some kind of mad genius form of evil pop brilliance.
I hope Blomkamp manages something more interesting for them than Harmony Korine's Umshini Wam.

I had a step-dad who really really liked Stompin Tom, Marty Robbins, Waylon Jennings and Tom Lehrer.
It took me 20 years to figure out how cool that was.

You left out the one critical conceit that will give it real heart:
they share the same heroin dealer

Yeah, but that's what we thought about The Counselor.

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus You're a bad man.
However, that being said, I hope you remembered to weight it down. Credit cards float you know. Not that I know about such things.

On the flip side of that phenomenon, I used a prepaid card to get my subscription which has long since run dry and yet I (and a few friends) enjoy fresh Netflix daily.
Well, occasionally fresh, since Canadian Netflix sucks.

I can't figure it out, something just didn't gel in the comedy chemistry between Arthur, Ford, Zaphod and Marvin. Personally, I think the bad match was Mos Def. Didn't do it for me at all. I think it was because he played Ford with a kind of dopey cluelessness, when he really should have exuded the manner of the…

I'm thinking the whole ensemble. Men don't wear black velvet bell bottoms like they used too either.

Sir, your wit is as sharp as a rapier.

I also liked Munro's story despite an immediately hostile response to the narrow world and subject matter. The deftness kind of wins you over. Forget all the hype, she really is a perfect technician of a kind of early modernist writing style.
I suppose what the malfunctioning unit below is all huffy about is the…

These seem like some hip fellows worth seeing.
But, a Monday night at Lee's Palace, c'mon, where's the drinking fun in that?

Hell yes.

I've wondered what Neuromancer would read like now.
Does it seem ridiculous as a near-future dystopia or does it still work in some ways?

Sweet recommendation, I've been kind of seeking closure on The Unit too.
(In the absence of any real replacement, I've toyed with the idea of watching "Ultimate Force", but it looks kind of weak.)

It may seem most obvious, but just in case, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy read by the author is an all-time favorite.

I don't care what anyone says, there is no way that that is NOT a picture of Andrea Martin in her heyday.

ACHTUNG!!!
ALL CONCESSION SNACKS MUST BE CONSUMED IN AN ORDERLY MANNER!!! AUDIENCE MEMBERS MUST CHEW THEIR POPCORN AT A UNIFORM RATE BETWEEN THOUGHTS! VIOLATION OF THESE REQUIREMENTS WILL RESULT IN, SHALL WE SAY, THE MOST UNPLEASANT CONSEQUENCES!
NOW, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ENJOY THE MOVIE!
OH, AND I ALMOST FORGOT, IF YOU…

History suggests that an all-Canadian cast is exactly what SNL needs to solve its problems.
