Icelanders used to be big on horsefighting. They would bonk their horse with a big stick to get him mad. Apparently the better horse-bonker didn't always win because these fights always seemed to devolve into the dudes whacking the fuck out of each other instead and then usually a vendetta-type deal with axes or…

That bit with her, Moore and Shawn where he's clumping around pretending to be an elephant (he has his sweater on his head, using the arm as the trunk) and he takes it off like "oh no, I am not an elephant at all! I am Vanya!" — her little moment of "oh my, I am so surprised" has always stuck in my head as one of the…

This movie is the best. The moment of transition from "real life" to "play" is one of the most astounding things that I've ever seen in entertainment. I think I actually said something like NO FUCKING WAY when it came to me. Someone else said Brooke Smith's performance was a weak link, and while I certainly get where…

More like we pay him to think like this so we don't have to.

I don't know why David Cronenberg hasn't done a movie of Silent Hill 2

What was that thing someone once said sometime?

Get out of here with that shit.

Yeah, I should give it a break in that way, it's RPG enough. I guess overall I was letdown by the lack of atmosphere. The new Deus Ex was the same way. The future sure seems boring.

I guess you don't I guess you dont'!

The only thing I've heard that appealed at all was that they improved the level design. I made it through 1 and half of 2 and was bored as all get out. No spacefights, interminable corridors, lame AI, cover shooting, mostly shitty dialogue trees. It's like this series gets a pass because of a couple of innovations…

Fucking ouch. You should see the U of Toronto Robarts Library. It's like this giant concrete turkey or something

I dunno…live in Toronto or LA I guess? Do they have science in LA?

Welcome to fucking fandom. Can be combative.

My buddy John was the geophysics consultant on that movie — his specialty is core physics. He said his most important work on the movie was writing formulas on the blackboard.

It ain't personal or anything, but absolutely everything about the music they make is fucked. Vocals, lyrics, tempos, instruments. Everything.

Remember how the class ditches him when they're all going to that bar? I loved that part, because I have been him, at that moment, almost to a T. I shit you not, they nearly — if unintentionally, I suppose — ran me over in their car, packed with six people, trying to get out of the parking lot of the community centre…

I just heard that Million Dollars tune on CBC 2 this morning, because there was a retrospective on the band. The reader was saying how they had to "gamble their Canadian status to try to make it big in the USA". Where's the gamble in that? That's like saying a minor leaguer is making a big gamble accepting a gig in…

Oh jeepers yes, but I heard she was a switch hitter so it didn't occur to me. I used to fall in love every summer with a girl who looked pretty much like her, not quite the bod, but the face, dear lord. Too bad she was an idiot who decided to go out with my cousin instead.

Portia DeRossi: hot gay chick, or hottest gay chick?
