This is kind of creepy, because I watched this video like 3 hours ago for no other reason than it popped into my head. I had no idea about this Adult Swim show.

I think you might have worded this wrong:

The Dexter episode was pretty illuminating because it showed just how far up their own asses the writer's heads were. They seemed like nice enough people, not too condescending or arrogant or anything. But the seriousness with which they were talking about all of their horseshit plots from the latter seasons was…

I'm not so sure that the Giants would have selected OBJ if Ebron and Lewan hadn't been selected immediately before them. Personally, I really wanted Lewan, but I feel like Beckham will be a good player. New OC should be exciting, too.

Watched it over on NFL Network, as I hate ESPN, Chris Berman, and especially Ray Lewis. NFL Network still had an overload of Johnny Fucking Manziel, though. I liked how Rich Eisen kept telling us that people on Twitter were begging him to stop talking about Manziel and he'd just shrug it off and continuing slobbering…

Disagree on the Giants. They 'could use' pretty much everything except QB (but so could most teams), but 'need' is a little strong. They had a really solid free agent signing spree. New RB, brought Manningham back (minor move, but still), four OL including Geoff Schwartz, DRC and Walt Thurmond, Trindon Holiday, and…

I've read some backlash about that idea already. GMs and coaches are already complaining that holding the draft this late cuts into practice time, and they're right. The preseason starts in 12 weeks, that's such a small amount of time to get players in shape/conditioned, evaluate talent, teach plays/systems, etc.

iirc, it's not the one with Johnny Cash. Also iirc, Streetcore was unfinished when Strummer died and they had to fill the album. Hence two covers and a (basically lyric- and vocal-less) jam. Just food for thought.

It's been forever since I've listened to 'Rock, Art. . .', might have to put it on this weekend.

The last album, 'Streetcore' is probably the easiest to get into. 'Coma Girl', 'Arms Aloft', 'Redemption Song' are songs to check out; they're the best from the album and are pretty representative of the whole thing.

First Mescaleros thing I heard was 'Rock, Art, & the X-Ray Style'. Great song. Come to think of it, all three of those Mescaleros albums are great.

holy shit that is awesome

Wouldn't doubt it; the timeline fits.

Oh, wow, really? Well, that's actually a really good reason.

Wait until later today when they announce that Leatherheads is getting a full Criterion re-release.

I love the way the model deliberately pronounces his full name. 'It's Krusterrific, Johnny Unitas!'

It took me like three times reading your comment to realize that you were talking about an actual movie about fracking, and not pseudo-cursing this movie in a BSG-type way.

That's a pretty good way to put it. I know for sure I saw the movie, yet I can't remember a single thing about it, to the point where I wonder what's wrong with my memory.

God, what a fucking slog that movie was. It's maybe my least favorite thing DFW wrote, and watching some of Krasinski's talking head pieces about how the movie came together was painful. Completely un-nuanced adaptation of the book; almost no imagination involved in the production.

This. My first intro to him was on Tough Crowd back in like 2002 or whenever that aired, and I thought we was ridiculously unfunny. Fast forward like 10-12 years, and I've probably listened to 200+ hours of his show.
