Call me crazy, call me irresponsible - hell, call me Ishmael if that floats yer boat - but that damn "Hello Kitty" song and video are growing on me.
Babymetal? Not so much.
-
Spirit - "I Got a Line On You"
Nine Inch Nails - "Head Like a Hole"
Van Halen - "Unchained"
Heaven 17 - "Temptation"
Zep - "Immigrant Song"
NOTE: Most, if not all, of these songs also make me turn the volume up to 11. And drive a good twenty MPH over the speed limit.

In order to make you buy an HTC One, apparently Gary Oldman will have a staring contest with you.
And win.
(Or, alternately, he will just demonstrate that you shouldn't give a fuck WHAT he says about said phone...)

^^^ Alternate tagline: It's the snack...that eats YOU.
I actually wrote, for shits and giggles and to learn screenplay-writing software, a version of Peckinpah's BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA, with the lead role flipped to a two-fisted female badass. Think Katee Sackhoff, or Michelle Rodriguez.

You know a million fan-fiction shippers watched this and muttered "damn, why didn't I think of this?"

So after Jaguar hired a trio of Brit film villains to shill their cars, Cadillac counters with their ad for the all-electric ELR, featuring Neal "The Whitest Guy You Know" McDonough.
I have liberal friends in Northern California who are horrified by the levels of douchiness in this commercial. They, of course, are missing the point. You don't put Robert Quarles in a nice suit and expect him NOT to be douchey. And when was the last time that Les Paul got name-checked in an advert, I ask you?
Plus: it's just a really fucking funny ad.

To save time, here is EVERY SINGLE NEWSPAPER HEADLINE THIS MORNING FROM WITHIN WINTER STORM PAX.
You're welcome.

If Danny Crowe does not die a horrible, horrible death by season's end, then Karma isn't half the bitch she makes herself out to be.

BAD. ASS.
I think more people are talking about this ep than the damn Winter Olympics...
-
How badass was that final 10 minutes!?
In the words of Chief Deputy Marshall Art Mullen:
"Now that is some BAD ASS shit!"
Another observation re: Hart vs. Cohle. Both are "screw the rules" cops, but for Hart the rules are screwed so he can do and get whatever HE wants, while Cohle's rule-screwing is in the name of solving the case.

So this one time, in ad camp, this British car company hired Sinestro, Loki, and the Mandarin to shill for their cars.

Eh, there's no way I'd take that over
I mean, come on!
Xmas lingerie AND a revolver? Just shut up and take my money, already.
Err...back on topic: what's the over/under on either Hart or Cohle being the unsub?

Up until yesterday (and prompted by an "I'll give you a director and you post about his favorite movie of yours" Facebook meme), I'd totally forgotten that George Roy Hill directed SLAP SHOT.
-
It's a perfectly decent love letter to geek culture. I got (and laughed at) most of the references; your mileage may vary.
And Seth Rogan's a LOT easier to take as a CGI Grey.

I'm in the process of finishing up my rewatch of season 4 this weekend, and I forgot how many great Art Rants there were.
"That is some badass shit!"
Yeah, JUSTIFIED made me a Nick Searcy fan for life. (True trivia fact: the "badass shit" monologue was originally Raylan's, but Tim Olyphant said "Naah, give it to Nick" - who promptly ran it down the field and through the goalposts.)
As I said on the old board, I would pay top dollar just to see Olyphant, Goggins, and Searcy sit on a stage and shoot the shit for two hours.

The pilgrim can't sleep, the pilgrim's a spy
The pilgrim can't sleep 'cause his prayers won't fly
The dumb won't speak, the truth is lies
The dumb won't speak, make their tongues get fired
The cripple won't walk, the crooks all cry
The cripple won't walk, put the stilts on trial
The dead man talks, didn't say goodbye
The dead man talks and the phone is wired
Who can steal when everything is free?
Who am I when everything is me?
Who am I when everything is me?
Who am I when everything is me?
Betting on tilt, I make a deal
When I get up, I take a pill
Come on down and come on in
The little lambs jump and I could kill them still
Creationists creep, they walk in the street
Creationists creep and the citizens buy
All the shoppers asleep, they're in way too deep
All the shoppers asleep and the cameras lie
Who can lie when everything is true?
Who wants old when everything is new
Who am I when everything is me?
Who am I when everything is me?
Betting on tilt, I make a deal
When I get up, I take a pill
Come on down and come on in
The little lambs jump and I could kill them still
Who am I when everything is me?
Who am I when everything is me?
Who am I when everything is me?
The little lambs jump and I could kill them still -
One of my favorite jazz bassists. I saw 3/4 of this combo (Holland, Rivers, Altschul) several times in the late Seventies.

^^^ Saddest up-tempo pop song EVER.

Call me up, if I'm home
Dont say too much, I might be upset
Let us agree to differ
We're consumed by competitionHaving fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)Call me up, if I'm alone
I dont like to spend too much time on my own
I need to have diversion
Consume me with a new passionHaving fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)We are all in competition
Better move fast, gobble up your dinner
Take a tip, get hipIt's not so bad in the promised land
It's not so bad in the promised land
It's not so bad in the promised land
How do I fill my days?
A force called 'Hard cash' moves my feetWe are all in competition
Its the one thing that is simple
We are all in competition
Its not so bad in the promised landHaving fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)Children of the pleasure culture
Who must be grateful for what we've got
Happy smiles in sunny climes
So dont upset the ice-cream cartHaving fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living

Am I the only one who thinks this movie felt like a paint-by-numbers version of a Scorsese movie? Like, somebody READ about Marty's ouvre in a book and created a movie just from what they read?
Which is my only real objection.
Then again, I would have been happy with two 'n' a half hours of just this:
Um...yes. This. So much.

At this rate, the series is gonna end with Unser, Barosky, and Collette sitting in Barosky's bakery having coffee and Danish - and the episode fades out on Unser coughing up blood.
I'm calling it right now.

This, in a nutshell, is the difference between HBO and Showtime:
When Brody's truck hit the IED, he would've stayed dead. End of story. -
Since I'll probably never see a proper film adaptation of NEUROMANCER, at least there's the cheesy "unauthorized version" known as NEMESIS (1992). And considering it's from the same hack who gave us BRAINSMASHER: A LOVE STORY and ALIEN FROM L.A., it's...more entertaining than it has any right to be.
Whole damn movie's on YouTube, to boot.

I also think the fact that this comes on the heels of
Sons killing off Clay
and I'm just wondering why all my favorite characters from different shows are dying in front of me.
The literary assassination squad of Rowlings/Martin/Moffat/Whedon sez hi.
RIP HR Giger

Ha. I got you beat. I had a poster of "Birth Machine" hanging on my bedroom wall in MIDDLE SCHOOL, and my folks didn't even blink.
