Joe Versus the Volcano is one of my favorite movies, because it’s quirky, off-kilter, scattershot to the point of an actual physical headache, and contains dialogue that makes my soul swoon. Between Moonstruck and Joe Versus the Volcano, Shanley earned my everlasting loyalty.

Nic Cage’s role is fantastic too - in fact, I often wonder how much better O Brother, Where Art Thou? would have been if it had been Cage rather than George Clooney in the lead role. To me, the role called much more for an H.I. McDonagh type than Clooney’s barely-disguised star magnetism.

Yes, she is. I was skeptical at first but she’s really good.

I watched a few episodes. I love game shows and I love spinning wheels, but I hated the show. Dax Shepard is head-scratchingly miscast as the host, and the whole element of having a family member controlling the player’s destiny sucks the fun out of the proceedings.

The best thing that happened to TV game shows is that the latest Press Your Luck came back virtually unchanged (in fact, in a recent episode, one of the original Press Your Luck contestants came back for a second try - and since I actually remember her first run, seeing her again was a huge existential crisis for…

More accurate opinion: Days of Thunder is Top Gun... literally.

Iron Eagle made Top Gun look like friggin’ Citizen Kane.

“I cannot buy this record; it is scratched.”

This is the proper rebuttal.

Sadly, Ron Swanson would have been 100% onboard to vote for Trump because he would like nothing more than to see the government collapse into chaos.

Well, she got the lyrics wrong, but definitely nailed Bryan Adams’ intent.

Leprosy
I’m not half the man I used to be
Pieces keep on falling off of me
Oh why did I get leprosy?

Where’d my kneecaps go?
I don’t know, they wouldn’t say.
When my elbows go, then I’ll long for yesterday-yay-yay-yay...

...with Drew Barrymore at the height of her powers as Olive!

I used to work for a video game company years ago. In our break room, we had a standup Asteroids arcade game. We had it there for entertainment, but also as a reminder that gameplay made the difference, not slick graphics. Asteroids remains one of the most addicting games ever made.

I’m dating myself here badly, but the worst jump-scare I ever had was when I was a kid, and I was watching The Greatest American Hero - the episode titled “Operation Spoilsport.”

Bob Ross’ contribution to art wasn’t what he painted - it was how he made people believe that they could use art as a way to feel better about themselves and the world, and that they didn’t need to be afraid of making mistakes.

Heck yeah. Think the love scene from Dances With Wolves (the one Costner brought his kids to set to watch as they filmed it, by the way), only it’s COSTNER coming into the teepee.

Maybe the sequel is Channing Tatum being the bodyguard for Kevin Costner.

Yeah. I just bought a kitten for my daughter, and for the first week it was doing the “adorable” attacks like the one in this story. Three weeks later, it’s now trying to chew my fingers off and claw my calves into oblivion.

Sestero is just as bad an actor as Wiseau - it’s just that he can speak English a bit more clearly.
