Cold, man. Real cold.

I'm turned off by the excessive screaming, backed by usually uninteresting music. Are all kids today really that unhappy? I thought the increased use of psychotropic drugs would make all music made by young people sound like Apples in Stereo, but I reckon not.

I hate to come out against peace, but this cease-fire does not seem like a good peace, more like a Versailles peace, one that only makes for a far more destructive war at a later date. Buoyed Hezbollah plans next move By Martin Asser BBC News website As a member of Lebanon's multi-confessional government, the militant Shia Muslim movement Hezbollah is formally committed to its own removal as a military presence in south Lebanon. Successive UN resolutions leave no room for doubt - Hezbollah must give up control of the south, allowing government forces and UN peacekeepers to hold sway at

Now I'm all worried about Pedro's

Nah. The bloom is off that rose, me thinks. And I was never that impressed with him anyway. I suppose it's good that he didn't collapse, panic-striken and weeping, when it went down, but I think he was really just doing what he gets paid to do - run the city and manage emergencies. Pataki I was completely unimpressed by. He's just negative space - anyone who thinks he can be president is smoking the supercrack.

I think the red states will get more red and the blue states bluer. Here in New York, the GOP is about to be pretty much permanently marginalized.

Why Oliver Stone, though? Couldn't any number of directors make a by-the-numbers 9/11 flick? I realize that not all of his movies are as insane as Natural Born Killers, but if this film isn't that complex or challenging, why'd they tap Stone? Marketing? He owed somebody a favor?

I would put them more firmly in post punk. Not quite enough screaming.

Really? Wow. I don't even like them that much and I saw them three times.

How much did JFK cost? Hold on ... budgeted at $40 million, made that many times over. Forgive me for being deeply suspicious, but I suspect that those who pay for movies like WTC and JFK are hoping they hit a home run by plugging into some aspect of the zeitgeist like JFK did at the time.

happy birthday once again! Bring that beat back!

Do you realize how much it costs to make movies?!?!?! I would argue virtually EVERY movie is made to make money, first, art later.

"I am much better looking than Karl Marx, and, unlike Marx, I am still alive."

That's reasonable.

That would be an important baseline to establish.

Is the celebrity divorce rate higher than that of the general population?

No I'm not, especially since I meant to say ne plus ultra instead of sine qua non ...

Shit. So much for my car-that-runs-on-coffee idea.

It's not Ann-Margret.

Hmm. I know in Germany there was some anti-occupation activity - Werwolfe - but not so much in Japan. Maybe we should have kept Saddam as our stooge, like Hirohito.

I feel the same way about tea, much to my mom's chagrin.

That is correct. I have the impression that the 1939-45 war was called World War II while it was going on, but I can't immediately confirm it.

The ironic thing is that I think the world's first emo band - H

Do they also call that "pop-starting" up thar?
