After the dead bird on his head I genuinely think he'd do something like that.

ORLANDO: Wait, why do I have the barnacles on my face?
STUDIO: It was in Johnny's contract rider for some reason. Sorry.

I wonder at what point Johnny Depp decided that "crazy hippie grandma" would be his default look.

Not to mention why in the shit is Umbrella doing anything? They're trying to made bio-weapons to sell to the military? What's their target market, Captain Planet villains?? What military is going to want a virus that turns you into a literal monster instead of just a plain old bomb or gun? And do people seriously

For whatever reason they do really well worldwide. So I'm sure Wan and his team look at the totals and go "Wow! Imagine if we made GOOD films and released them!"

Supposedly Browning was Meyer's first choice to play Bella in Twilight. Seeing Browning's opinions on female characters in drama, that might have been the worst choice possible. As someone who didn't care for Laura in the novel, I find it refreshing to give her dimension but still not excuse her actions.

One, what is Fandor?
Two, why should I care?
Three, why is anyone still hiring Jared Leto to do anything?

Meta-physical. He somehow embarasses my soul.

Anderson Cooper is starting to remind me of how I was during the last days of retail employment, where i was just barely holding it together and couldn't completely hold back my irritation at my bosses or problem customers anymore.

What bums me out is none of the imitators embraced the experimentation or sardonic humor a lot of the Seattle Four had. Soundgarden wrote piss-takes like "Big Dumb Sex" and covered "Earache My Eye". Alice In Chains had "Queen of the Rodeo". Nirvana had "Sliver" and most of the Incesticide album.

He sings his OWN songs during karaoke? What a wanker!

Thinking of Chris Cornell's recent death, he talked a lot about "the punk rock guilt" and how Soundgarden never reconciled their underground beginnings with their mainstream success.

"Shall we skip the red tape?" (leaves a gun on the table)

2001 was the end of a bleak period in movies where people felt special effects and spectacle could carry a film. If nothing else, Lord of the Rings came along and showed character should win the day. After that we got Sam Raimi's Spiderman, which seemed to prove the point.

Good lord, I saw all of these in the theater EXCEPT Memento, the one undeniable classic. I'm officially an idiot.

In honesty I didn't think the retribution would be this fast under this set of circumstances. I feel like a dog chasing cars and not knowing what to do now that I've caught one.

If I'm being honest I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.

He had the best summation ever about Kurt Cobain's death though. From 1994 Rolling Stone:

I freelance for Tone Report and insisted on penning a tribute as soon as possible. I stopped myself from goofy titles like "Chris Cornell RIP: Fell On Black Days" because it just seemed wrong. I just titled it "Chris Cornell RIP" and ended with the number for the Suicide Prevention Hotline.

Sadly he did not die in a Limo Wreck.
