Oh, shush, it's a perfectly excusable mistake. It's not like it exposes my ignorance and ignobility. (Oh dear.)

Yup. It's the teeth, I think. (And, uh, the rest of the body.) (3 Coogan flicks, goddamnit, 3 Coogan flicks.) (Oh, and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2006 on Youtube.) (I should really stop with the parentheses.)

Wasn't it like permanently terminated a year ago? Isn't this sort of like Land of the Dead redux? (Will the questions ever cease?)

Yup, there are about 3 Coogan flicks on that list. Oh, and while I found the film a little meandering, the figure of Sammo Hung made me smirk. It also says "uncorcked". I reckon that means extra boobage; there were like a dozen boobs in the first 12 minutes. That spells quality. (In nipples.) (Uh, bad joke). (Unfortunately, I find Vince Vaughn endearing.)

Has anyone here read The Adventures of Augie March (by Saul Bellow)? I really enjoyed both Seize the Day and Herzog, and I keep hearing about its purported greatness. oh, and Easter has brought me the needed funds to book-shop again. (Yay!)

I thought The Man Who Would Be King really entertaining. (I even bought the short story afterwards). Hey! List time: Radio Days Billy Madison Memento Syriana The Lost Room The Parole Officer Happy Gilmore The Alibi Around The World In 80 Days (Past 7 days, in order of... what was it?... enjoyment.) Also: Sandler is usually at his funniest when the plot berates and belittles him. See the whole your speech has made the whole room dumber sequence in Billy Madison. Also: I have about 105 minutes of Wedding Crashers left to watch - wish me luck!

Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. The first is considerably better (funnier), I think (I really miss Norm MacDonald and the fat guy from Bok's former avatar). But, like, both are genuinely funny and much better than what would proceed (except maybe the Waterboy). Is Punch Drunk Love any good?

They're anti-semites; the lot of them!

I doubt one poses as a pseudo-intellectual (the direct and conscious action, I mean, of course), since pseudo-intellectualism is per its very nature about concealment, shrouding the concealer's essence, his raison(s) d'etre, his texture (unless, of course, one attempts to subvert and satirize) and heaving up a facade in its place (and thus feigning knowledgeableness, intellectual vigor, etc.) (insecurities away!). It would be less erroneous, I think, to accuse me of feigning insight. And of pomposity.

Isn't stuff like first wave ska still considered cool? - And like, isn't there sort of a resurgence in old country music's popularity? And isn't jazz still the hipster's dish of choice? (I don't mean to insinuate that all jazz listeners are hipsters, of course.) God, do I digress; uh old music is sipped once more... I think that was my point, originally. Brother Ali - Truth Is.

Dude; Cowboy Dan, Night on the Sun, and those songs about ****roaches and Jesus Christ.

The Satanic Verses. - Oh, yes, of course:

Admonition: I had sort of a crush on her when I was 13. I mean, tacky tissues, and all. (Right.) The Sonics - Have Love Will Travel (Lupe Fiasco - Daydreamin') (Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill).

Mudhoney - Fearless Doctor Killers

Eazy-E - ; I just love the guy prancing around with a shotgun nestled on his shoulder.

The Temptations - Run Charlie Run.

Stephen Fry's The Incomplete And Utter History Of Classical Music.

(Yeah, I have no idea.)

Deltron 3030 - 3030; you know, this would be a lot better if Del actually said something of, like, substance. Hey, "cannibals eat human brains for dessert|buried under deep dirt, mobility inert" - that's like more voluble Eminem (without the comic self-consciousness). The capitalism line was good (though derivative) - he should've expanded on that. I really like the production, though.

Dude - please; WSE. Herzog by Saul Bellow: "Well, for instance, what it means to be a man. In a city. In a century. In transition. In a mass. Transformed by science. Under organised power. Subject to tremendous controls. In a condition caused by mechanisation. After the late failure of radical hopes. In a society that was no community and devalued the person. Owing to the multiplied power of numbers which made the self negligible. Which spent military billions against foreign enemies but would not pay for order at home. Which permitted savagery and barbarism in its own great cities. At the same time, the pressure of human millions who have discovered what concerted efforts and thoughts can do. As megatons of water shape organisms on the ocean floor. As tides polish stones. As winds hollow cliffs. The beautiful supermachinery opening a new life for innumerable mankind. Would you deny them the right to exist? Would you ask them to labor and go hungry while you yourself enjoyed old-fashioned Values? You

I don't know, it sort of depends on how old he was.

Did Truffaut ever inseminate Bellucci? Or look really really handsome? (At the same time.) (I don't think so.) I like that video where she's pulling a Sharon Stone, yelling and getting manhandled. Also, she is by far the hottest person on MTV, VH1, or wherever else they play pop videos. (Shut your mouth.)

The Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin' Stone.
