"Division II, Manhattan"

Someone this to me in '97, on VHS, when I graduated college. I watched it maybe six times in my first post-collegiate year. It's funny, and endlessly quotable, but re-watching it now brings back memories of a times I'd like to forget.

That was Kate Mantilini? I can pretty much see it from my office right now. Unfortunately, the restaurant closed recently. Probably would have lasted longer if a sign in the window had said "MOST FAMOUS SCENE IN HEAT FILMED HERE"

One day, we will all be Dave Coulier.

Tastefully Pointless is the name of my soon-to-be discontinued comedy LP. I'm wearing a wacky tie on the cover. I'm Dave Coulier.

It's only been two hours, but I really don't think I'll come up with a reason. I'll just leave the door unlocked…

I have been wrong this whole time.

This man was married to Susanna Hoffs, so he's basically a semi-divine being. (EDIT: I am absolutely wrong about this. It is Jay Roach who is apparently semi-divine).

I died. I escaped the underworld. I was re-born.

Need someone to write that Sabbath's Theater paragraph, AV Club, or is someone already on that for Part 3?

He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon. Two coats!

"Ooh, look at me! I'm making people happy! I'm the Magical Man from Happy-Land, in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane!"

This looks like a fascinating novel, but please stop quoting things David Shields says about fiction as if they are important. If we stop talking about his asinine pronouncements, maybe they will soon be forgotten.

I thought this would be Larry David's George Steinbrenner singing "Heartbreaker".

I'm just happy he's still alive. That was today's happiest surprise.

That's pretty cool. The closest I've got is TV director Jim Burrows, who was my dad's camp counselor. My dad hated him, and I'd hear stories about "that asshole Jimmy Burrows" whenever we watched "Cheers."

I don't like the rest of the movie that much, but Edward Herrmann gave one of his great "rich moron" performances in that film.

My wife will say that line any time she sees Pee-Wee Herman or hears anyone speak in a vaguely Pee-Wee Herman-ish voice.

Or decide to move back home and work in insurance or something.

"Pangaea" has one of the great dumb-but-awesome love lyrics of all time: "Pangaea… We used to be together / Why'd we have to drift apart?"
