Samm Levine shows up as the ostensible villain on Doug Loves Movies a lot. He seems like a nice dude, but it's a lot to take in (though I'm sure his stage persona is amped up).

I've been thinking about getting a 160GB for a while. Because why carry around just one Beethoven symphony, when I could be carrying around all of them?

They're also actually not funny. Daily Currant and National Report are trolls.

When I was 12: Charlie Parker, old time radio, and Star Wars.

For the record, I would watch Dinosaurs vs. The Fellowship of the Ring over any of the Expendables movies.

Off the top of my head, I can think of The Hunt For Red October and Where Eagles Dare that use the convention of having a few scenes subtitled in the "proper language," and then switch to unaccented English for the rest of the film.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga was my introduction to Spoon. It remains one of my favorite albums. If you go in for minimalism, listen to their 2010 album Transference.

According to a For Our Consideration from a couple years ago, the same thing happened with Twilight and Cosmopolis.

On a professional level, you would be considered a hero in Silicon Valley. The culture in tech is that people who have failed have learned the most from those failures, as opposed to the people who got lucky (or easy) successes.

If I remember right, the filmmakers wanted Preston precisely because of his Harold Hill.

I've actually read that book! I went through a big ST:TNG phase in middle school (when TNN/SpikeTV was airing reruns all the time) and read as many books as they had at the library. I actually did a book report on one of the books from the Q-Continuum trilogy.

For me the focal point of the photo is the record exec, who looks like he would rather be anywhere else.

I was one of those twenty thousand! AND I bought Mondo Amore the day it came out!

You can watch the trailer on the Criterion website. I got through about 45 seconds and couldn't take any more.

C.S. Lewis took the same road, IIRC.

Fighting the good fight.

…Not really. Metheny is highly respected in the jazz world, and has sold his fair share of records. He's not expressing jealousy; he's expressing his disgust at how Kenny G represents the face of jazz to those who don't listen to it. I'll paraphrase the sentiment of my jazz professor (who grew up at the same time as…

Have you ever read Pat Metheny's opinion on Kenny G? You should, right now:

I didn't know that. I just looked it up. Thanks for the info! I only meant that Connick Jr. is a fantastic singer, and knows what he's talking about when it comes to vocal technique, style, and music theory.

Wouldn't the Ayn Rand School For Tots only have toy trains?
