I saw someone exactly like that at a Riviera show in Milwaukee... wonder if it's the same woman. I think if Beatle Bob pushed his way in front of me and started his dancing, I'd be tempted to wallop him in the ears.

I've been admiring that new avatar ever since you changed it. The pink is a nice touch.

It's already on my list. And I agree that Lapalco isn't as strong as Alternative... but I still like it.

Although the plots share surface similarities, the understated tone of Junebug is really nothing like Doc Hollywood or Napolean Dynamite--a better comparison might be to something like You Can Count On Me, another study of characters, words, and emotions that tempers its humor with undercurrents of disappointment and regret.

I vote for Rosemary's Baby.

All he meant was that the 4 members who live in Chicago were glad to be home, while the other 2 members (1/3 of the band) were happy to be in the city.

Seconded. I love "Hands" (my favorite on the album) and I also really dig Benson's Alternative to Love and Lapalco.

Yeah, Saw II sucks. I don't really like Carpenter's The Thing, either, but since that film came out, many of the best horror films have been made abroad. Off the top of my head: Funny Games, Memento Mori, Little Otik, Kairo, Save the Green Planet!, A Tale of Two Sisters, Wolf Creek. I'm surely forgetting a lot of other good ones, and there's been some good American stuff just under the mainstream radar, too. And the British The Descent looks promising. Actually, Kairo has just been remade here as Pulse, and Funny Games is about to be remade, with Naomi Watts and the original director (M

Ah, that's right... I totally forgot!

Are those the same guys who played at the Chicago DVD shows? I can't remember well enough to place the faces.

There was a maximize toggle button near the bottom of the screen. EDIT: Donna beat me to it!

Yeah, me too. I had the video at fullscreen--all the better to see Jeff's zits.

You've got a point there. However, if breasts are the greatest thing on the planet, then farts must rank at least third. Throw in an Aerobie, and this thread has everything!

My wife said he looked like a vagrant, and that he might rob her. But she has a phobia about robbers.

Both Stacy and I cheered when we saw her!!

As always, when this song started up, my 2-year-old daughter morphed into the Freakish Dancing Machine. Still going strong!

Or, as in my family, cheer.

Likewise, vociferous farting ought to be perfectly acceptable in any setting. I will not be hemmed in by the prejudices others have against nature.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Wheel!

When I watch things like this, I always feel a sense of suspense that grows as the shot progresses--the longer it goes, the higher the stakes are for not screwing up. This was fun.

Little teeth are no less painful.

Among others, I'm thrilled that Sleater-Kinney played "Modern Girl." I love that song.

Rob Schneider has vowed never to work with Mel Gibson, which means that absolutely nothing changes for either man's career.

I'm sure that factors into the equation. Sally: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive? Harry: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.

Try this on for size...
