Want to find out who killed Laura Palmer? Make a pot of coffee, get some doughnuts, cherry pie, your best friends - and have a marathon. That is the only way to do this up correctly. Anything less, and you're only cheating yourself.

This is my FAVORITE television show of ALL TIME. If you haven't experienced it, you're missing out - big time!

Everything Is Illuminated: Jonathan Safran Foer

First to recommend

Description

"I will describe my eyes and then begin the story. My eyes are blue and resplendent. Now I will begin the story."

"One day you will do things for me that you hate. That is what it means to be family."

"...he enclosed pieces of string that he used to measure out his body--his head, thigh, forearm, finger, neck, everything. He wanted me to sleep with them under my pillow. He said that when he came back, we would remeasure his body against the string as proof that he hadn't changed."

"If we communicated with something like music, we would never be misunderstood, because there is nothing in music to understand...... But until we find this new way of speaking, until we can find a nonapproximate vocabulary, nonsense words are the best thing we've got. Ifactifice is one such word."

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto by Chuck Klosterman

3 people recommended this item

Description

"The strength of your memory dictates the size of your reality. And since objective reality is fixed, all we can do is try to experience - to consume - as much of that fixed reality as possible. This can only be done by living in the moment (which I never do) or by exhaustively filing away former moments for later recall (which I do all the time)."

"Life is rarely about what happened; it's about what we think happened."

"Everything is 50-50. Either something will happen, or it will not.... The future has no memory... there is no sliding scale for maybe. Maybe something will happen or maybe it won't. That's all there is."

"Everybody is wrong about everything, just about all the time."

The Dharma Bums

First to recommend

Description

"See the whole thing is a world full of rucksack wanderers, Dharma Bums refusing to subscribe to the general demand that they consume production and therefore have to work for the privilege of consuming, all that crap they didn't really want anyway such as refrigerators, TV sets, cars, and general junk you finally always see a week later in the garbage anyway, all of them imprisoned in a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume, I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with rucksacks, going up to mountains to pray, making children laugh and old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier, all of 'em Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happen to appear in their heads for no reason and also by being kind and also by strange unexpected acts keep giving visions of eternal freedom to everybody and to all living creatures."

Desolation Angels: Jack Kerouac

First to recommend

Description

"There's nothing to life but the living of it...hold still man, regain your love of life and go down from this mountain and simply be-be-be the infinite fertilities of the one mind of infinity. Make no comments, complaints, criticisms, appraisals, avowals, sayings, shooting stars of thought, just flow, flow, be you all, be your what it is, it is only what it always is...so shut up, live, travel, adventure, bless and don't be sorry."

On The Road by Jack Kerouac (Book)

2 people recommended this item

Description

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww.'"

Visions of Cody: Jack Kerouac

First to recommend

Description

"The mad road, lonely, leading around the bend into the openings of space towards the horizon Wasatch snows promised us in the vision of the West, spine heights at the world's end, coast of blue Pacific starry night — nobone halfbanana moons sloping in the tangled night sky, the torments of great formations in mist, the huddled invisible insect in the car racing onwards, illuminate. — The raw cut, the drag, the butte, the star, the draw, the sunflower in the grass — orangebutted west lands of Arcadia, forlorn sands of the isolate earth, dewy exposures to infinity in black space, home of the rattlesnake and the gopher the level of the world, low and flat: the charging restless mute unvoiced road keening in a seizure of tarpaulin power into the route."

Six-String Samurai

First to recommend

Description

So - the Soviets - they nuke the U.S. in 1957. And then the Red Army takes over the U.S. wasteland except for one surviving colony of capitalism called "Lost Vegas."

Elvis Presley, the King of Lost Vegas (because - duh - who else would be king of Lost Vegas), dies. So, Buddy Holly and a pint-sized sidekick he reluctantly picks up along the way set out across post-apocalyptic Red America, samurai swords a-blazin', so that Buddy can stake his claim to the Vegas throne.

"You still there? Cross that line, kid, I'll cut your little teddy bear in half. Last kid that crossed that line, I had to summon up the Spinach Monster with my rock 'n' roll magic. The Spinach Monster grabbed him, pulled him underground and made him eat spinach all day. Rumor has it, kid... he's still there."

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

First to recommend

Description

If you dig things like MST3K and old sci-fi films, you'll love this. It's a 2001 spoof of 1950s creature features that winks at just about every B-movie cliche in the book.

"I am strangely drawn to this inverted cloth funnel and its wonderful softness."

"Well again I didn't mean to throw a damper. Believe me that's the last thing I'd like to throw. I don't want to throw anything at all really. But when folks are horribly mutilated, I feel it's my job to tell others. We take our horrible mutilations seriously up in these parts." "I'm sure you do. Honey, the Ranger's just doing his job." "Of course he is. I'm sorry Ranger Brad. I guess all this talk of horrible mutilation has me on edge."
"That's all right Dr. Armstrong. This horrible mutilation has a whole lot of people on a whole lot of edges."

RAWR!

Forbidden Zone

First to recommend

Description

As if Herve Villechaize as King Fausto, Lord of the Sixth Dimension, weren't enough ("I will have a whole army of zombies! A zombie Marine Corps, a zombie Navy Corps, zombie Space Cadets..."), here's your reason for seeing this movie: Danny Elfman. As Satan. In a zoot suit.

Need I say more?!
