It was either 7th or 8th grade; regardless, we were taught by one of the gym coaches. He was a crusty WWII vet with a fondness for neon socks—he had three or four different pairs he'd alternate each day—who said that not using a condom was akin to going into the bush without a helmet, where some Jap would blow your goddamn head off. That was a quote, for what it's worth.

Good as it is, almost every song on No Cities Left goes on about a minute too long; I like it better than Gang of Losers, though, as that runs out of steam in the last third.

I was forgiving of the overly chatty sections of Death Proof because the car chase sequence that took up the last part of the film was so great. And treble seems to have a problem with the ending, but it fits in with the type of flicks Tarantino was paying tribute to.

Don't be mean.

I saw that yesterday and considered responding to it, but it's Mik. He thought the O.A.R. show was awesome. No response was needed.

"there isn't much of any plot" is a lousy criticism of this kind of movie. If you really want to go down that route, Planet Terror's was a by-the-numbers zombie plot. In the case of both, it was all about execution.

You laugh at me because I am younger, I laugh at you because you are older and still respond. You win.

Oh, I dunno. At her worst, she indulges in some Oberstisms, though.

I got what it was going for but I thought it was dumb. I appear to be in the minority here, as almost every review I've read calls Roth's trailer one of the film's highlights; I thought Machete and Werewolf Women of the SS were far superior, as far as the trailers go. Anyway, Grindhouse was good times.

Cormac McCarthy to appear on Oprah. Wow. I'll have to watch this.

I'd feel darn foolish if I found out she was lifting these from Bright Eyes lyrics.

I just pissed on this thread.

How come, this long into his career, there hasn't been someone who successfully convinced Tarantino he has no business acting? He has a bit part in both films; without ruining anything, his on-camera time in Death Proof was passable, but his performance in Planet Terror completely undermines what was supposed to be a pretty tense scene. Stay behind the camera, you mouth-breathing fuck.

I had no idea Amnesia Glasscock is 15; look at me up there responding to him like his opinion means something.

Anderson Cooper's never really been in or out of the closet; he's gay, but he doesn't feel the need to talk about it. Foster's speculation; people like Geffen and Singer have long been public—I rarely follow dumb Hollywood shit and I knew that.

Thanksgiving was the only lame trailer. In fact, it was the only real lame part of the movie. Concentrated lameness.

I'll admit I have a mild, albeit perverse fascination with this band. Mainly that the band's singer—usually the center of media attention for any group—is generally ignored due to his chubbiness whereas the fashionably pretty bassist (the bassist! usually the most ignored member of any band) gets all the teeny bopper mag coverage and is the only one to appear shirtless on the cover of Rolling Stone.

haha, wtf is with your new screenname, Pete Wentz.

I wonder if on the day off between the Orlando and Jax shows he'll go to Disney World.

I think Moz is overestimating the size of his fanbase on this side of the Atlantic, but I dunno. Maybe he's thinking he can draw Pixies-size crowds. Look at these tourdates with accompanying venue sizes: I bolded the show I'll be attending. The Morocco rarely holds concerts—gun shows and antique fairs are more its thing—but it happens. This marks the first time I'll see a show there since I saw Nirvana at that place in 1993.

I'm glad a great many of the people who posted in this thread never start threads themselves.

Does she teach at a "special" school?
