This is one of the best films ever made.

Thank you for mentioning it.

Are we talking about songs that cure depression, or cause it? Because my immediate reaction to the post was Punch The Clock! The post kind of reminds me of when REM released Everybody Hurts. I remember depressed folks claiming that it really helped them. Though I think the song is good, I recall wan...

Lost in Translation is probably my fave. movie of the past 10 years (since Pulp Fiction)! My nickname here is from that movie :D Scarlett Johansson is the most beatiful actress nowadays... and Murray is brilliant. Perfect Movie!!!! I know what they were trying to do in the movie, and the performanc...

Dylan should be on top! (at least above Brown... thats for sure!) I believe the list is chronological, and while Bobby Z may have been beating on a tambourine by 1954, I imagine his voice had a different kind of raspy whine at that time. Though I have heard he wrote the chorus to Just Like a Woman ...

The only EC album (and I have the lot) I never listen to is the Bill Frissell effort. I just found it dull. I will defend TJL to my grave!! Absolutely agree with your assessment on both counts. Those who dismiss the Juliet Letters, I believe, are missing some of his best songwriting. Most of the so...

I'd have to say Lost in Translation.

Just can't quite sympathize with the plight of the rich and the beautiful, boo hoo.

If you wanna feel lost, try adding fat, old, poor, and ugly like me. There's yer movie.

I loved Sea Biscuit and Master and Commander!! I've never really understood the fuss about Barton Fink. It's easily my least favourite Coen Bros movie. Also The Matrix was a load of hokum Interesting JM, Barton Fink, tied with Fight Club, is my favorite all time movie. I'm basically in a trance fro...

Kojak easily my least favorite. MLAR is up there but no where near KJV. And if we're adding in the expectation factor, I'd have to say WIWC is up there, too. For a rowdy rythym record comeback, I'll take Brutal Youth any day. As for For the Stars, I don't really consider it an EC work, but more of a...

To achieve ultimate board dominance, make sure the 2"x4" has a nail sticking out of it.

hallefreakinberry!!!

I apologize for Reagan's entire presidency.

Let's put the wall back up and call it even.

Have you ever been to New Jersey?

Only via Newark.

But if that's an invitation I'll sell some blood and be on the next bus.

Oops. My brother was browsing through this board today and noticed that I had been outed. I had honestly missed the tale end of the thread. I didn't mean any harm Blue, thanks for keeping the secret for so long. I couldn't stay away from this board. It's like my one last creative outlet (since I gav...

Verbal G - You complete me.

Nothing to relate here.

Just wanted to conquer the board with the most recent posts in all of the forums at the same time, and finally fulfill my lifelong dream of omnipotent board dominance!

All Quilty - All the Time!

Regarding the first picture:

Why is a thinly disguised John Kerry lurking in the background?

And I feel sorry for that poor kid who is obviously daydreaming about Tater Tots (no offense spooky, I only just now read your preface, he looks like a cute kid).

Pretty Woman

A feel good romantic comedy about a hooker with a heart of gold and her escapades with an unwitting stuffy old millionaire.

But I think they already made that, and I'm not even sure which album it was on. But it's the only time I can remember Elvis yodelling.

King Horse.

Obviously the sequel to Sea Biscuit.

Pump it Up!

A musical throwback a la American Graffitti, before Full Service stations became a thing of the past.

I saw them both at the theater and definitely prefer the sequel.

More nudity, and gratuitious violence.

And more things blowed up.

El Vez, as a Republican I wholeheartedly disagree with your analysis.

And as soon as I finish looking up all those bigg werds you used, I'm gonna offer a strong and viamint counterpoint.

I'm gonna skip the movie.

I'm waiting for the Sit Com.

I've heard David Schwimmer has signed on to play Karl Rove.

The Amish get a bad rap in my estimation.

Most people don't realize the close association between the Amish and NASA.

The Amish actually were deeply involved in knitting covers for the landing capsules during the Apollo missions.

Unfortunately they tended to burn up during re-entry.

And I'm a big proponent of carbon dating, by the way.

It's how I met my last girlfriend.

It beats Yahoo Personals any day.
