Alicia Silverstone, Chris O'Donnell, and arguably Joel Schumacher's. Schwarzenegger's career also suffered a major blow with one lukewarm film after another before he retired and went into politics. It also made Uma Thurman unbankable until "Kill Bill."

It killed pirate movies in the same way that "Batman & Robin" killed superhero movies. While both genres bounced back seven or so years later, for a long while, they were considered untouchable, having caused two massive flops. As the article mentioned, careers were derailed or even ruined even despite the genres…

"Not My Slave" may well be my favorite song of theirs. I seriously don't understand the cool reception that Boingo gets in general, nor do I understand the idea that "Dead Man's Party" is their only worthwhile album..

"It’d be productive to pair summer 1974’s Death Wish on a double bill with
that fall’s The Taking Of Pelham 123. Both rely heavily on the idea of
the hellishness of the subway, a normative given. In Pelham, a subway
car is hijacked and held ransom (none of the passengers even look up
when the car stops mid-tunnel for…

Well, I actually *am* a huge fan of the character, and I can tell you that the bisexuality is very important to me, given that he's one of the ONLY male bisexual characters in pop culture, and having one in a mainstream show would have been a very very big deal.

His philosophy is that people will eat each other when society breaks down, and he's ultimately proven wrong by the passengers on the boats. Ironically, the message actually is pro-anarchy, just not in the way that the Joker intended.

Do you really think that he would have become Saul if he had the love and support of his brother, rather than Chuck—one of the most powerful and influential lawyers in town—sabotaging Jimmy from the very start, and doing his damnedest to keep him underfoot?

I went to go see Depeche Mode's big comeback concert ("The Singles 89-98" tour) solely because Stabbing Westward was opening. In my defense, I was moody teenager in the late 90's. Nowadays, I listen to Depeche Mode far more often than Stabbing Westward, which remains one of my guiltier pleasures.

Too safe? Just another good vs evil story? What???

"There’s a prickliness to some of “The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie
Show”’s punchlines, but the episode manages to get its point across
without lecturing."

Seriously, anybody who can laugh while watching that scene has some serious problems. It's not funny in contest at ALL. I cannot disagree with Drew enough.

This is true, and it's a damn shame that neither DC nor Marvel seems to have much interest in emulating TWD's success in this regard. Back to the point at hand, I honestly have to wonder how much impact "The Wolf Among Us" has made for interest in "Fables," because I've heard absolutely nothing in regards of gamers…

Yeah, but on the other hand, Patrick Lee mentioned Robert Kirkman and the comics series in his review of the TWD game. Besides, I think far less people are aware of the existence of comics than you think, especially compared to how games are vastly more popular.

"The Grey, his most accomplished film…"

The earliest mention I've found is in Hellblazer #51, a standalone issue written by a 2000AD writer named John Smith. In one panel, he off-handedly narrated about his "girlfriends and the odd boyfriend." Until I read that story literally last week, I too thought that it was originated by Azzarello.

So this is like an indie, post-zombie-craze, less-funny version of "My Boyfriend's Back?"

There's another Shatner episode, "Fade in to Murder," which is delightful in how bizarrely, sincerely willing Shatner's character is to help Columbo figure out the case. He doesn't want to be caught, but he seems to genuinely like Columbo so much that he's excited to watch the man work, and Columbo himself also seems…

I always hated how that guy wasn't on the soundtrack version, which is also missing the movie's "where the cabs don't stop" guy as well as the randomly operatic fat guy. The soundtrack version still kills, but it really suffers without "DOWN ON SKID!" guy especially.

The bands in "A Mighty Wind" actually did briefly tour a couple cities several months after the film came out, and I was lucky enough to catch their DC show at the 9:30 Club. All of the major ensemble were there (including Bob Balaban and Jennifer Coolidge in emcee roles). The only notable exception being Fred…

Um… you're kind of missing the point. No one's calling her young. I'm taking issue with the fact that the article called her "youngER" than Williis.
