Anita has very much gotten into Flight of the Conchords; I quite enjoyed the brief snippet I once saw.
It's one of the shows that by conceit should be too painful to watch, but in execution is simply delightful: it avoids being comedy of embarrassment by the fact that none of its protagonists are capable of being embarrassed; they're just not in the right universe.
I believe you have insulted yaks.
Eh, Piers Anthony would be an insult to yaks. The Death Gate Cycle are not badly constructed books (except for Elven Star, which sucked when I read it under my desk in Calculus and sucked when re-read on the box spring in B.'s spare room; anyway, it has no Alfred), but the language is so clunky and rhythmless, I could barely find a sentence I didn't want to rewrite at least a little. I don't know how Hickman and Weis collaborated, but if one of them was responsible for the plot and the other for the style, they should either have swapped places or splurged for a third author.
I found a Criterion Collection DVD at T.J. Maxx for $6.00. It was the very un-C.C.-like Chasing Amy, but that happens to be something like my #101 favorite film of all time.
I think they may be allowed to define "Criterion" however they feel like, since one of their earliest releases was Armageddon (1998). rushthatspeaks believes this was their way of financing later projects like Powell and Pressburger, and may well be right.
