    David Lynch First Timer

    The "easy going suburban life" is the veneer. It can be real or fake, it doesn't really matter. It's just a symbol of the ideal American life that doesn't truly exist.

    how bad is an unpaid parking ticket?

    I know... how dare they try to punish lawbreakers? What a bunch of pricks. Next thing you know they'll be arresting burgulars or something.

    The death of the great TV theme tune???

    Most of the "classic" theme songs are about a minute in length. Now they don't allow more than 30 seconds since they have to squeeze in one more commercial.

    Wow, this Staples clerk isn't too bright.

    I'd go back to the store, grab the clerk, and tell the manager "this guy is the reason I'm never shopping here again".

    ...and Kleist's "just wait!" promises that it would. In a funny way, I sort of miss the High Apologist Of Joss. Still wish I knew what he did to get himself banned.

    Almost forgot about that. Extremely lame. They went through such obvious efforts to hide her face that it became very distracting. Keep Boreanaz in front of the camera from now on, okay guys?

    What's the biggest DVD binge you ever did, in one shot, one day?

    So how is that limiting you at all? "You can only have one, unless you want more than one"?

    Directors Bombs away! The Biggest Flop of 2004 Tournament!

    I don't understand what we're voting on... what movie we think we would hate the most? I'll add Hellboy. Never read the comic, but the trailer looks like shit.

    Exactly. Pretty bad ep. Dream episodes are always lame (yes, even "Restless"). ME always writes dreams the same way. Paper-thin metaphors, characters boiled down to their bare essence (Lorne entertainer! Fred science!), one or two random non-sequiturs just to emphasize that it's a dream...

    How do you feel about "greatest hits"?

    Of course, there are exceptions. Like we discussed earlier, a Pink Floyd GH is silly. Some artists have a couple of great albums, but only scattered gems among the rest of their work. For example, I couldn't live without Quadrophrenia, Tommy, or Live at Leeds, but I don't mind using The Who...

    How do you feel about "greatest hits"?

    I went backwards. I've owned most of the albums (up through Let's Dance) at one time or another, but I've narrowed it down to just Rise and Fall of Ziggy... and Singles 69-92.

    Directors Name that Movie (or TV Show)

    Oh you tricky bastard! I was thinking that looked like Jennifer Garner, but I knew it wasn't Daredevil. Of course, I forgot that TV shows are in this too.

    Anchor Bay will find a way to screw over the fans on this release. They seem to enjoy it.

    Perhaps the heaps of praise he gets from drooling fans on the internet has gone to his head. When there's a bunch of people calling you "genius" all the time (or much worse, referring to themselves as "High Priest of Joss"), that's got to have an effect on your ego.

    I'm sure that the $3.1 billion doesn't hurt.

    Pet Shop Boys "PopArt" DVD

    Thanks, Andrew. A little on the pricey side, but at least it's free shipping. Time to retire those VHS tapes at last!

    Or, they might be said to have certain bizarre biases which prevent them from acknowledging that there are SOME good things about movies with which they otherwise have some kind of personal or political objection to. They might also be said to be trying to skew the scores by voting in a more...

    Expanding Horizons

    Sweet Movie (1974, Dusan Makavejev) Here's a horizon I wish I hadn't expanded. Utterly retarded. The kind of film that hipster college sophomores "discover" and declare as brilliant social satire while they pretend to find meaning in the most inane non-sequiturs. Cheap gross-out tricks and...

    And rightfully so. 0's should only be given out to truly awful, irredeemable movies.
