After that episode, I graduated to tequila shots. No ice. The gesture remains, but the glasses don't break and puncture wound the face, resulting in large bandages and very tacky television. It takes a special brand of masochism to do film reviews and set yourself up for public ridicule. I still do it for radio, but ignore feedback and admit to loving Sci Fi. I strongly feel that your next post-90's list should include "Wedding Crashers" and "Matrix". I took my endless TV frustrations and turned to stone sculpture. Now I can bash the **** out of a rock and it won't hit back. Keep on bashing. Its so much more fun than taking all of this seriously! Dixie Dear Dan,

And since you seem to be a fan of both Mr. Hanyes and Mr. Dylan, I thought I'd introduce you to my new novel, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, which I think you'd enjoy. It's a murder-mystery. But not just any rock superstar is knocking on heaven's door. The murdered rock legend is none other than Bob Dorian, an enigmatic, obtuse, inscrutable, well, you get the picture... Suspects? Tons of them. The only problem is they're all characters in Bob's songs. You can get a copy on Amazon.com or go "behind the tracks" at www.bloodonthetracksnovel.com to learn more about the book.

No Goldberg, no girls, no music...just brutal. Gannon got all sorts of tawdry press time in the Boston Herald over his underground MMA fighting, making the cover of the paper at least once... I've met Gannon before; he was a friend of a friend that I went to high school with, and they knew each other from UMass.

I disagree with you John, but I'm just glad someone other than the blog's writers chimed in. And I'm really happy to see that someone is none other than Fitchburg St. legend John Caples -- it made me Hallmark card sappy to see your name. I also give you a lot of credit for admitting to having seen an episode of Blossom, though now I recall you being a Joey Lawrence fan. In the context of the movie, the Kimya Dawson songs work ok, but in any other context I can't listen for more than 30 seconds. Actually, make that 20. Keep chiming in, Caples!

And I have to echo Memo with "how bad can it be for free, and you're still in your pyjamas?" The best element of it seems gleaned from a moderately OK made-for-TV movie (the ham-handed switch from self-absorbed hipster cynical to Hallmark card sappy). The Wes Anderson-lite soundtrack is kind of insulting; it's like copying another kid's paper in school and turning it in as your own. I'm flabbergasted that this got so many big Oscar nominations and that the vapid Diablo Cody actually won her very own golden dildo. I've seen sharper writing in an episode of Blossom. I'm no Moldy Peaches fan, but Kimya Dawson was one of the more tolerable aspects of this piece of garbagé. And I want to see Ellen Page do a few rounds with Kimbo Slice. Is that so wrong?
