    "Album of B-sides", I'd never really thought of it that way, but out really does describe the record pretty well. That being said, Scott really does have a bit too restrictive a definition of what a "song" is.

     

    Also, I love "Half A World Away". It goes a long way toward redeeming this album's missteps. And I never did see what the big deal with "Country Feedback" was.

    I like "I Remember California". But then, I'm not from there. "Hairshirt", on the other hand, well, I'm not surprised to find it was all ad-libbed.

     

    Kinda surprised how quickly Scott jumped off the R.E.M. train, all the way back here at Green. The rest of this podcast is gonna be interesting, particularly once they get to Up and beyond.

    I guess I'm the only one who laughed out loud at JCVD ducking that semi truck after re-emerging in 1994 the second time. *shrug*

     

    The problem of 2004 JCVD meeting his nine-year-old son for the first time could have been avoided just by having him die in the 1994 climax of the movie. Not only would this make for somewhat less flawed logic, but it would add much-needed gravitas to the film (can't remember if this movie was released during award season).

    I'd say it's certainly worth watching. Just be prepared for lots of cringing.

     

    I recall liking Peta Wilson as Mina Harker and generally preferring her to Kate Beckinsdale in Underworld. But she seems to be out in daylight an awful lot without any explanation.

     

    Speaking of which, there's a pretty gruesome sequence in the the second volume of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, where Mr. Hyde rapes the Invisible Man to death.

     

    Yeah, the second volume is where Moore really Moores all over it.

    Action-type movies are usually go-to. I like the ones with fantasy/sci-fi elements where they can really dig into the rules or internal consistency of the movie, or more often the lack thereof. Good for June theorizing.

     

    I do like when they do romances too, because those are usually rife with bad psychology or gender relations.

     

    What I don't like is the "critic-proof" b-movie or otherwise intentionally crazy stuff like Hell Comes To Frogtown or the Sharknado movies, or Fast and Furious for that matter.

     

    I wish they would do more "serious" fare whether it be dark and edgy (Devil's Advocate, Color Of Night) or failed Oscar bait like Winter's Tale or current candidate Collateral Beauty. The unintentional comedy is what makes for a special podcast experience, and if it's got magical realism then it ties back into my first paragraph. I re-listened to Winter's Tale recently, and it reduced Jason to a screaming mess, which is also a special podcast experience.

    Too bad the microphones didn't pick up my startled "Oh damn!" from the audience when Paul announced the improv location. Yeah, I was there, and I'm from Boise. We do actually have Fantastic Sams, but everything else was spot on. We are scared Satanists.

     

    Also, when Paul was talking about what a waste of time going to Mars would be, a lot of the crowd reaction was to Howard smiling and nodding. His feelings on Space are well known to Chartists.
