Is that santa barbara ad making anybody else's computer choke on H-E?

So I need to see that film and pretend that I really really liked it so I'll look like I've got cool taste in documentaries, in the same manner that I've pretended to like "Horses" all these years so I'll look like I've got cool taste in music.
Okay.

Why fake it, Walter? It's highly unlikely you're fooling anyone.

W.S.

The king of meaningless, mirthless sarcasm strikes again. One day, if we're lucky, we may be treated to an actual thought.

So, in the tradition of I'm Not There, Patti Smith is played by Ciaran Hinds?

PPP, you ain't the only one.

I once screwed a coffeeshop girl because she was impressed that I had a copy of Horses on the CD player. The woman is a Saint!

Here's an actual thought, transmogrifier....you're an ass-bag.


I'd like to jump on the "santa barbara ad making anybody else's computer choke on H-E?" bandwagon, but my computer has derailed.

Ah so that's what it is. Irony of ironies: Wells is killing us with an ad featuring Amy Ryan.

'I'd like to jump on the "santa barbara ad making anybody else's computer choke on H-E?" bandwagon, but my computer has derailed.'

Do you suppose it's just a coincidence that there's also a "Fix PC - Restore Your Computer - Scan PC Now!" ad posted here now, hmm?

Mafioso (The Criterion Collection, 3.18.2008) Nino Badalamenti is a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant who hasn't taken a vacation in over two years. On his way out the door to visit his beloved childhood hometown of Sicily -- with his blonde wife and daughters -- Nino is handed a package by his boss and asked to deliver it to a powerful and influential Sicilian gangster named Don Vincenzo. Once in Sicily, Nino has a hoot seeing friends and family, but his wife has trouble fitting in and is unfairly dismissed as a snob by Nino's family. Even more worrisome, Nino finds himself entangled in an intricate web of secret mafioso dealings and is eventually sent on an unexpectedly... elaborate errand. (continued)
