That sounds fantastic, and of course I hear those excerpts in Herzog's voice, which makes everything more fun. To Amazon!

And it was a MUCH smaller ship.
Oh, I don't think so. I'm positive he knew someone would come up with a technical solution, even if it was just someone somewhere screencapping every image and people building a shared database to put them in order. There are a LOT of programmers and scientists reading this comic, and one of the things I find nifty…
Wife. See the comic linked under "poignant" above, which is a bunch of snapshots of their life, starting with her diagnosis. The one that gets me most is the one where someone's saying "Next year, you should totally…" but whatever he's saying is completely blotted out by Munroe and his wife thinking "next year," which…
That is fan-freakin'-tastic, @avclub-2f6d703a2476d454dd5a30430d8ddd78:disqus .
Sounds good to me. I generally prefer the books he was writing in 1987 to the books he's writing now, apart from 11/22/63.
@avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus I have, and I'm a little on the fence about it. It's a great premise that to me, goes a little overboard both in its conclusions about human nature and its willingness to transform the protagonist internally as well as externally without sufficient cause. But it's also a…
Yes. Looks like that was an entry error. Thanks, we'll get it fixed.
The primary reasons I really liked Heart-Shaped Box were the prose style, which I agree with @avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus is more sophisticated and literary than King's (though not as breathless as a result) and the fact that the book spells out very early on exactly what's haunting the protagonist…
Yojimbo if you want more samurai and more Toshiro Mifune and more rough, grim humor and more big fights.
I love Madadayo, but it's one of his more controversial films; a lot of people find it too slow or sentimental.
Yup. It's on YouTube.
Love the Hall of Doom in the first panel. And the way it follows actual Sunday comics conventions by having a one-two joke setup in the first two panels, so editors can shave them off if their layout requires it.
I thought about it, but was afraid people would think I was aping Pete Wells' epic takedown of Guy Fieri's Times Square restaurant.
This would make a terrific bad-movie-night film, at least for my group's tastes in films that take themselves hugely seriously while making no sense. I'm already looking forward to that experience.
It is.
One of my favorite things to catch on a rewatch is how utterly manic Bale acts at the dinner immediately after Angier reveals where Borden's assistant has been buried alive, and Borden goes to dig him up — because at that dinner, Bale is playing the twin who was captured and buried and nearly died, and he's frantic…
This is one of several things I was talking about when I mentioned "making the twists crueler." There's no painful decision to be made when Angier remains the only living duplicate all along, and just has a inconvenient mock-corpse to dispose of. One of the many many reasons I think this book is so much less…
