Doug Barry's discussions

This reads like a way-too-long Shouts & Murmurs first draft.

Dude, my name is Doug.

Also, I think I stole it from my younger sister because big brothers are the worst.

I'm suprised the bedspread still looks good because the unapologetic cat in the picture has vomited on it approximately 7,000 times.

Diane Lane didn't play a character in the Superman universe — she played Toni Mannix, George Reeves' lover, in 'Hollywoodland.'

Even though I knew the running time, knew that this movie would end any second, I still got excited when the Native Americans finally showed up. AND THEN IT'S OVER. Fuck you, Nicolas Winding Refn. This movie made me (briefly) reevaluate Pathfinder's merits.

I can't believe I posted this without mentioning Tobias. Sigh.

I got the nerve to dress up as Quail Man for Halloween one year, and I was really proud of my costume. Unreasonably proud. But there were like three other Quail Men at the party I went to and they were all named Doug and they all explained their costumes the same way to the other partygoers: "Because my name's… Read more

This dolphin looks like the unwilling third conspirator in a dolphin baby-eating plot.

Episode 2 of this season was really, really funny, especially when Amy's mom announced with just the right amount of pride that she remained fertile until she was 56.

I know — the redundancy indicates compounded anger. Like, super-duper-mega-angry. To the max. Squared.

Yeah, I think just reload. I've done it a few times and now, strangely, I really want some ice cream.

Hey, is this video working for everyone? It works for me every other time I play it, so just wanted to see if anyone else was having issues. Let me know!

It's my cat, Binx. He's just been diagnosed with a food allergy, so now I have to buy him really expensive wet food because he's a total dick. He also sits like people.

This seems pertinent and I don't think I'll ever have a better opportunity to share this so... Read more

It's the baldness, but I also think there's no way you can recover from a role as creepy as the one he had in Dead Calm. From that movie on, Billy Zane was just a half-crazed maritime villain
