It was just a B-52 tail sticking out of the water, kind of like in "Apocalypse Now". My bad for thinking it a harbor, just saw a body of water and assumed it connected to ocean.

I'm not trying to be just a cynical asshole here, I'm asking honestly since my brain tended to glaze over when the whole Susan Boyle thing was originally happening….Is she supposed to be borderline mentally-challenged, or is that just a part of her frumpy persona?

Yeah, the Vietnam episode was good, with the model ships being stuck in ceiling fans and B-52s still lurking in Hanoi harbor, and the always-looming scooter playing "Born in the U.S.A." lurking in the background.

Until they get the oh-so hilarious Fox NFL robot in 3D, I'm out.

Since it's being released on Blu-Ray, we get to see the pine trees of Georgia—I mean the rain forests of Vietnam—in High Def.

"Titanic" is finding a whole new audience of girls. My daughter's 5th grade class are all watching it multiple times, at slumber parties, at home, etc. They're not quite into "Twilight" yet but they are sure into "Titanic". Don't know why. I guess if I had to choose between "Titanic" and "Twilight", I'd pick

I resolve to finish my screenplay in which Jan-Michael Vincent and Gary Busey fight each other while riding motorcycles helmet-less.

Must have been yet another stowaway.

Man, The Legend of Boggy Creek was the shit when I was a little kid. That movie had it's own mini-cult around my school, with cryptozoological sightings and everything. Then I saw it on late-night TV a few years later and realized what a hokey thing that movie was.

Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark, Tony Curtis all went beardless as Vikings. Maybe ZZ Top are available for cameos. And the Gimli dude from Top Chef.

You gotta watch the Russian mobster movies, or you get Viggo Mortensen wrestling naked in a sauna with his junk flapping all over the place.

I thought the original Klingons were more like Genghis Khan Mongols.

I can't believe Kenneth hasn't already volunteered one of his kidneys. Or does his religion forbid surgery?

I don't know… We all thought they would change the title of "Bad Lieutenant—Port of Call: New Orleans" before it came out, and that never happened.

Conquistadors would certainly fit in with the rape/pillage/kill theme. Mongol hordes, too.

"The Long Ships" (1964)—Richard Widmark as a Viking and Sidney Poitier as a Moor. Kickass movie, it's the one with the Mare of Steel that cuts you in half lengthwise as you slide down it.

I still call my cat Tawny Kitaen.

Agreed on Nolan Ryan/Robin Ventura. Ventura got booed for years every time he came to Texas. There was talk once of trading him to the Rangers and I think it was finally decided he would never work here because of that one incident (him getting his ass handed to him by the old man).
