Stillsuit FTW.

Dick York replaced by Dick Sargent and NOBODY'S SUPPOSED TO NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE!

Magical sidekick that only Homer can see FTW!

Damn prawns.

Actually Jeff Bridges has a country album out (and he wasn't too bad in Crazy Heart), as does Kevin Costner (and it's not horrible … par for the course for most country music these days.)

When Walt pulled those fistfuls of money out of the barrel, for a second there I thought he was going to throw them into the stove to warm up his room a little. He might as well have, at that point.

No reputable company would charge $20,000 to fix a glass door!  Oh wait.

Chamomile tea with soy milk and stevia FTW, bitches.  And don't forget to talk back to back. Can't be too careful.

I checked AMC, they're not free … they ask for your local cable provider (I don't have cable.)  I have Netflix by mail, not the streaming option which I did not like when I first tried it.  Also not crazy about Amazon … I just prefer YT's interface.  It's under the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment channel, and once…

Well, I'll find out in about when I catch up in the next day or so. I just didn't want to sit on that insight … sort of expecting it will become obsolete shortly.  And in the off chance I'm half-right it would be cool, since I'm not right about BB plot points very often.

I'm only up to "Buried," so I'm staying away from these newer ep comments but … I have this premonition that Walt's M60 is the biggest McGuffin in this season. I feel that he's never going to get the chance to use it.  I can almost see the final scene being him starting to pull it out of the trunk of the DeVille just…

Remember how old or often-played cassettes used to bleed through from the opposite side of the tape, allowing you to hear the "ghost" of songs from the other side during quiet moments of a currently playing song?  Fun times.

It's argued that above a sampling rate of 256kbps, the average listener can't tell the difference between MP3s and CDs.  I've experimented with different sampling rates myself, listening to the same song at different rates back-to-back, and usually can't tell the difference. I would prefer to rip everything in WAV…

To be fair, I don't think Ebert knew the full behind-the-scenes facts at the time he wrote his review in '73.

As Seyfried's film career starting taking off, she gradually had less time on her schedule for Big Love … you can practically chart her career rise by the decreasing time given to her character on Big Love as the seasons went on.

I only saw Five Easy Pieces recently, believe it or not, and was blown away.  It's your basic '70s melancholic, existentialist despair story but man, Nicholson and Black really sell it. For years, I only knew it from that infamous diner scene referenced above and then I read somewhere that Rafaelson was always annoyed…

Wasn't there a Watchmen parody a few years ago along the same lines? (IIRC someone actually animated a whole intro …)

He's heading straight into C. Thomas Howell territory at this point (minus the latter's the more successful television work.)

Yeah, it always breaks when you get it home and then they won't take it back!

It's great in a Refnian way. I enjoyed it. Don't expect "Thor"/"Beowulf" though.
