VHM Roger Ebert when he was good.

Just got done with his book Your Movie Sucks.  His writtten reviews are still consistently excellent, esp. about bad films.

P.S., if you don't know the story behind the title, look it up.

BOS2 to "Mad World."  I'm one of a select few who thought Gary Jules's morbid reworking of it an upgrade.

I prefer the original, but I certainly thought Gary Jules' version was a good cover, and it was definitely more suited to the film, which is the main point anyway.

Even though that first line of the first verse makes me want to sing "I remember Sunday mornings, I would meet him at the park ..."

sadly, since his illness, he's not the same, he pretty much gives 4 stars to everything, which might be a "I'm just glad to be alive and seeing *any* movies" kinda thing, but still...

What is the point of this story?
What information pertains?

Nice job on the "go to bed" segue here!  And BOS 3 to Robert Smith and co. (though he's shaking even more like milk these days now that alcohol's taken its toll in more ways than one).

Ginger keeps the astronaut theme going with Tears of Enjerkment, as I used to call it.
