Fuck yeah.  God this album was so WEIRD in 1996.  I confess to not “getting it.”  But revisiting it from time to time, it just gets better and better.

Yeah this article is ... weird?  I mean, presumably he read the script before he showed up to start filming?  Or ... no?

we are samesies, my friend. SAMESIES

Yep.  I straight up dislike Rushmore.  And Darjeeling is top 3 for me

Maybe I’m late to this party, but why would there have been a need to have live rounds on the set at all? I’ve read several articles on this incident and none address that point.

Your analysis of the original SPM reflects my feelings as well. I love that Rita Mae Brown took the helm to attempt to do something different. It is so cool, particularly in the early 80s, that someone was willing to fund a “feminist subversion of the slasher.” And that it was someone with the credibility of Rita Mae…

UGH I HATED this movie. I loved, loved, loved The Sopranos. But wow was this disappointing. I dare anyone to try to summarize the “plot” of this shit show in 3 sentences. You can’t. Because it was utterly aimless nonsense.

She is perfect. And there is something so old-timey Hollywood about her approach to the role that fits exactly right.

Same. Huge Mel Brooks fan. Spaceballs came out when I was 13 years old. Presumably I was the prime viewing audience. I hated it, even though most of my friends revered it. I didn’t think it was funny. I’ve tried revisiting it a number of times since then, and came away feeling the same.  There are a few funny scenes,…

hahaha I’m reading it on my Kindle and it shows me my percentage complete.  Each time I’d slog through a page I’d look down to see if the number went up.

How did you (and others) see it already?

Last year I made it through 78% of Gravity’s Rainbow before it defeated me. My best effort so far.

Spot on. About a quarter of the way through the movie, as I was fighting off full-on hyperventilation, I couldn’t help but think “why does this movie need monsters at all?” But then the monsters came and I wanted my mom.

Freddy was legit terrifying in Part 1.

I’m confused by the headline - specifically the “wildly delicious” part - which would suggest you’ve taste tested these flavors. But then in the slideshow you either don’t comment on taste (because presumably you haven’t tasted the flavor?) or acknowledge that you haven’t tasted it. I’m confused, I guess?

I missed the part where Stephen said that.  Oh that’s because he didn’t

By the way, your love of The Jaunt means that I need to read all of your recommendations here. So thank you!

The Jaunt!  JFC that is some troubling shit.  “It’s longer than you think, Dad!  It’s longer than you think!”

And The Road, while not necessarily “scary,” is SO FUCKING RELENTLESSLY BLEAK. Man that’s a tough read. I loved it, but never again. UGH

This all day. My problem with the book is that, early on, it reads as straight satire. And it’s good. I can get behind it. I see what you’re doing here, Bret. But as it moves forward, and the relentless violence against women becomes more and more detailed and, frankly, ENDLESS, I assume anyone who isn’t a whacko…
