We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Awesome.

Seconds later, I just checked Amazon and all three seasons are $50 each right now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If you step away from the straight line narrative and hold it up it's like a map for the entire series.

Yeah, that's a big part of the basis for my "nothing really changes" interpretation, all those little flashbacks.

But then there's the credits rolling without music, and that's just unsettling.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But then there's the credits rolling without music, and that's just unsettling.

I think they did that before in the episode where Dr. Melfi got raped.

Another song I neglected to mention: that was Little Feat playing when they entered the diner.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Deadwood season 3 is out on DVD today.

WOO-fuckin-HOO!

But then there's the credits rolling without music, and that's just unsettling.

But that's one of the classic ways to unsettle your audience... Don't play music where they're expecting it.

See: The Body.

Well, yes, I'm just saying that the deliberate unsettlingness does not support my nothing-changes hypothesis. Unless everything is always unsettling, which it sort of is, so, I don't know.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Dudes, that was a rocking episode of Entourage. I really enjoyed that. Billy Walsh is such a crazy motherfucker, and I wish E hadn't been so passive, but he made up for it when he called Billy on his bullshit.

And I can't wait to see what Ari says about a film where his prettyboy crown jewel spends two hours looking overweight and mustachioed on America's screens.

I remarked elsewhere that Vinnie looked like he'd wandered out of an old Beastie Boys video.
