I can't wait for the one-off tomorrow. Can't beat that scenario for thrills.

Good to hear. I read Push a few years ago (in about a day - it's that kind of book) and was shocked to learn they managed to adapt it into a film.

I karaoked 'Tender' once. Nailed it too, for the record.

"And that is why you don't teach your father lessons."

Van Damn. I assumed Last Broadcast was on there somewhere. Wow.

I ain't from Chicago.

Lou, why do you insist on speaking for others? Everyone other Chicagoan here speaks for his or herself. Why can't you just say "to ME this was mildly interesting and less disappointing than you might expect." Because I really don't think you're speaking for most.... Anyway: I think the whole thing is kinda funny - Chicago was acting like getting 2012 was its birthright or something.

Hey! I was at this show! That makes two shows in a row we were both at! We gotta meet someday. You don't happen to be going to Dinosaur Jr tonight do you? Great pics. Check out the Surfers thread I started upstairs. Could use your lovin'. http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/41703-butthole-surfers/

Yup yup yup.

I don't see the difference. How does an attorney general's private life affect his/her job performance?

Well. There it is.

What's going on?

"Indie hands!"

Well played. We may assuage your tempered irregularities through indubitable foresight and antelope pushing (a colloquialism to be sure, yet pertinent in this case). Having twelve pouches of saccharine involved couldn't hurt in the least, if you know what I'm saying.

Sure. And yeah, for me too trying to figure out Inland Empire ruins the experience.

The alarm went off this morning to the tune of 'Ophelia' on the radio. After a couple of seconds, I hit snooze and turned over. Then she moaned 'That song was horrible.' Now that just gave my heart a fall, To the bottom of my feet.

Maybe they just forgot.

I should clear up why I replied as I did to your question: it was simply a rare instance where the mention of Hitler in a thread could actually be relevant (and there's the rub: I mean "relevant" as in Hitler had an effect on Polanski's life, not "relevant" as in Hitler's effect on Polanski's life is an excuse for Polanski's actions in this matter). Don't be so sure. Men can be raped.

Or:

Oh man, I couldn't imagine life without Game Theory (at least, plus Phren & Rising Down are worthy of this list). And if Badu's World Order IV (or whatever) is on there, then WTF.

This is probably the most fucked up thing I've ever read here. I didn't realize that (re: the French gov't). No, I did not mean my post to be a defense of Polanski's actions in this matter at all.

Watched The Dark Knight over the course of a couple of days. Much, much more enjoyable now that time has separated it from from its hype machine.
