The otter is likely Lylla, Rocket’s friend / love interest in his earliest appearances (Incredible Hulk #271, the Rocket Raccoon limited series).

I haven’t seen Moonrunners, but from the clip in the slideshow, I give it points for using an instrumental of Jennings’s “Rainy Day Woman,” and then take the points right back for cars squealing their tires on a dirt road.

According to Wikipedia and YouTube, Hoyt was duetting with Renee Armand, not Linda Ronstadt. He sang with Ronstadt on “When the Morning Comes,” a single from the same album as “Boney Fingers.”

Whereas in our time, “Tralfaz” is acceptable for OSI agents on the run.

I appreciate you saving me the trouble of looking the answer to “Wait, he was that train hijacker on Due South, wasn’t he?”

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo is available for only one month — just 30 short days. Do not allow this opportunity to pass you by.

Connery’s shooting form in the first three make it difficult to believe he could hit anything, except maybe a duck flying overhead or a bystander in a second-floor balcony. He got better, but man, that’s rough.

This trailer has Razor Fist! One of the most ridiculous Marvel villains, although he’s less ridiculous here. (In the comics, the blades on his hands aren’t retractable; they’re permanently attached prostheses that would make going to the bathroom a challenge.)

Also: did I miss it or did James Ellroy come out with a new novel recently?

I think of it the other way around, with the ‘80s being a long decade rather than a short one. The ‘80s began in 1980, as the Reagan campaign got rolling, and they ended in ‘92, when the bulk of Nirvana’s singles from Nevermind hit the charts and the Bush presidency — the logical extension of the Reagan years — was…

In their memorial tweet, the Jim Henson Company tweeted that she was the voice of Fran Sinclair in Dinosaurs, the early ‘90s sitcom. I had no idea, and frankly, I find it hard to believe she was in such a (relatively) straight sitcom housewife role.

Larry Bird is the Hick from French Lick — French Lick, Indiana. He’s a Hoosier, not a Utahn.  (I assume that’s what someone from Utah is called.)

Karnak, Ill., doesn’t even have that level of claim to fame.

In 2017, the regional newspaper, the Southern Illinoisan, published a story about a federal report that the covered civil rights and housing abuses Cairo had endured from local and federal authorities.

Life (and casual racism) has already stuck it to Cairo, Ill., more times than I can count.

He made a pretty good Cardassian — that is, a pretty villainous Cardassian — in “Second Skin,” a third-season episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Somehow, when my wife and I watched that episode last year, he was almost immediately recognizable under all the prosthetics, even though I hadn’t thought of him in…

The Delenn scene I’ve thought about frequently for the last couple of decades — and to be fair, also misremembered for a lot of that time — was this one:

Maybe that’s just the kind of representation you get when you hire a lawyer you sexually harassed when he was in drag:

From out of space came a runaway planet, hurtling between the earth and moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Man’s civilization was cast in ruins! It was in all the papers back then.

But Holly Dolly’s true strengths come from country carols not yet pummeled into our collective consciousness, like a sweet, twangy duet with Willie Nelson (“Pretty Paper”)
