I couldn't place where I had seen "Lynne" before.  I had to look her up on IMDB, and where I recognized her from was Spider-Man II, where she was the pretty girl with the baby, one of the people on the subway who were looking admiringly at the unmasked Spidey after he saved them.

I'd watch that, actually.

I'll never understand how Mick Taylor sounded so great playing slide in standard tuning and with a fucking flatpick, fer chrissakes.   It's one thing if you're playing in open tuning because you don't have to worry about muting extraneous notes as much, but a flatpick with standard tuning is a nightmare for slide (if…

For me their prettiest song is "Torn and Frayed" if only because of Al Perkins' pedal steel guitar solo, which might be the most perfect thing ever recorded, and which makes my skin tingle every time I hear it.  My number one "Sunday mornin', feelin' good" song.

Don't know how she does what? Keep getting work in Hollywood with marginal acting skills and a face uglier than a bowling shoe? That's a good question.

Ryan Gosling must have IDS. And that puts us all in an awkward position.

Let It Bleed is their finest album start to finish.  Exile is great, but it's not the perfect, succinct statement that Bleed is, and to a lesser extent Beggar's Banquet.  Of the four classic Jimmy Miller albums (Goat's Head Soup may be underrated, but still not a classic), I always thought Sticky Fingers was somewhat…

Atlas Scrooged

He is the inventor of the NAS (network attached storage) drive.

Hardcover, trade paperback, or mass market paperback?  Because the hardcover will very likely kill them.

Uh…she was Belushi's vengeful ex in The Blues Brothers.

Jeffrey Dahmer gives it two thumbs up!  Not his.  Well, they're his now. So, yeah, two thumbs up!

Gaumont International Television?  What year is this, 1951?  There's something very early-days-of-television sounding about that name, except for the "international" part, anyway.

He looks like he's about to do that Charles Nelson Reilly "Nrr-rr-rr-rr-rr!" thing.

It's almost like they intentionally made a bad movie, like as an experiment in anti-comedy or something.

I saw the laugh-free trailer, looks like they essentially made Simple Jack Makes a Porno.

Anybody remember after the PG-13 rating being created there was talk of a "PG-13 curse," because it seemed like every movie rated PG-13 tanked at the box office, or at least didn't do as well as hoped.  Of course, nowadays PG-13 is almost a requirement to be a blockbuster.

Paltrow can only open sliding doors.

I've never seen the Budd Dwyer footage and I don't really want to, but the Nick Berg decapitation was about the most disturbing thing I've ever seen, mainly due to the screams more than the gore.  I felt like John Travolta at the end of Blow Out, grimacing and covering my ears.

It hasn't hurt Margaret Cho.
