I'm a Kimmel fan. I don't miss a show.

Jordache jeans, that's fucking hilarious! I'm a big Kimmel fan, but I only catch it a few times a week depending on who the guests are between Leno and Letterman. Like Jenna Fisher is on Letterman tonight, and she's so damn hot so I'll have to catch that.


Oh, have you ever gotten around to seeing Swimming With Sharks yet?

Wtf Conan is by far the best late night guy... no question.

I like Leno because his monologues are done in a way that reflects his stand-up experience. Kimmel is very slow and dull, Craig Ferguson is too weird for my taste, Conan plain sucks, and Letterman stumbles and acts like he's coming up with the jokes from memory and has a hard time deciding what he's supposed to say when.

I look at it as Letterman usually having the best guests (and he's a great interviewer) while Leno has the second best guests and the best monologue.

Bill Hicks on Leno:

Yeah, I was trying to make that turn when I asked you about Swimming With Sharks. And those flicks on your que, are those all movies you've yet to see so far?

You have some good ones on there, a few I haven't seen, and a few I thought were fairly disappointing.

I'll definitely admit that I venture out to see movies I know will be bad just so I can have an opinion.
-I watch the occasional Uwe Boll movie just so I can be validated when I say that his movies suck.
-Then there's movies I watch purely because someone has recommended them.
-I've also watched movies, because they were mentioned in other movies. For instance. Meatballs w/ Bill Murray was mentioned in Frailty. Frailty is a personal favorite of mine so I bought Meatballs.
-I'll also watch movies that I've heard brought up in conversation w/ coworkers and such. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. What matters to me is that someone that I'm in contact w/ has seen a movie that I haven't seen. I feel like my movie knowledge is being trumped by someone else, and I must persevere.
-I'll also watch movies that critics like that I may not see otherwise. I'll seek them out.

That's just a few of the ways that my Que gets built. It's a plethora of contributing factors.

Half Nelson is an utter waste of time.

It got rave reviews so I was expecting a minor masterpiece, but it's a lifeless film. Goslin does a great job, but nothing happens except Broken Social Scene interrupting the film every 5 minutes- which I assume is what the movie was for; a music video for an obscure prog rock band.

Isn't it a movie about the redemption of the slums or something? I really have no idea what it's about. I just heard great things about it.
