Oh, I think it would confuse the hell out of most people. But I also think he's one of the best songwriters ever.
Slay-er? Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? You're kidding. Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma The.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

But I also think he's one of the best songwriters ever.
Awww, did you ever hear the song "For Randy Newman, etc." by The Chills?
It's a very affecting and pretty valentine to songwriters who have been overlooked and misunderstood, specifically citing Randy, Brian Wilson, Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, Scott Walker.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know if there's a sadder song in the Disney canon than "When She Loved Me" (the song about Jessie the Cowgirl's previous owner). Dag.
I'm also rewatching the movies in prep for the third, and that scene brought me close to tears, unexpectedly. Not only because, you know, she's a fucking toy, but because I found her character really irritating before then. They pulled the old "Ha, we will make you care about a character you don't even like, mwahahaha!" trick.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Excellent, Joe. I think this is my favorite part.

Nobody tells Marmaduke what to do. That's my kinda dog.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What the io9 review fails to mention is that Marmaduke is also a 2-hour long episode of The OC, if The OC were about dogs.

From the io9 review:
the moviegoer never sees Marmaduke in a pimp hat.
Well, fuck that, then. If they can't give me a great dane in a pimp hat, I have no use for the movie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I bet you can have a dalmatian in a pimp hat any time you want!
...and of course I just got the Mr. Trick quote at the top of the page. Magic!
