I loved Monkey Island and all those Star Wars games too, but I probably spent the most time playing LucaArts' trilogy of WWII flight games, especially Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. There was nothing I loved more than shooting up the parachutes of downed pilots.

Part of me is dismayed that seemingly every Lego set now is a movie tie-in. What's wrong with generic pirates, astronauts, and knights? Use your imagination, kids!

Marx Brothers
I guess I grew up sort of out of step with the times, since the answer that leaps to mind for me is old Marx Brothers movies, which I discovered when I was about 10. Every time I see one of them on TCM, I think, "Oh, this probably isn't as funny as I remember it being," and every time I turn out to be…

The only things
I remember enjoying about the original Clash of the Titans were the mechanical owl and the brief nudity. It does not sound like I'll be pleased with this version.

Character acting
It's probably a sign of a great character actor that I'd forgotten all the places I've seen this guy. I remembered him as Plainview's partner in There Will Be Blood and the priest that Colin Farrell shoots in In Bruges, but didn't realize that he was Caesar on Rome and the cleaner in Munich.

Hey, Muss has a point. My five-year-old's writing is so sprawling and unfocused that it's almost unreadable. That kid needs a fucking editor.

Bleak House of the Devil

Shouldn't they have spelled it "4-ever," though? There might be someone out there who didn't get that it was a pun.

Sparks's subject matter, audience, and comical self-regard really make him seem like the literary version of Thomas Kinkade.

Maybe Lapidus isn't here because he overslept. Is there a Greg Grunberg gimmick poster around here somewhere?

Release Date
So you guys run interviews with the star and director of "Leaves of Grass," and now I have to wait until the summer to read the inevitable bad review? No fair!

Yeah, but afterwards you're all wet and smell like brine. Hot!

Some of these old comment threads are hilarious. There's an old Tina Fey interview filled with people trying to get jobs and rants about Sarah Palin.

"Of course, if I was this nitpicky about everything, I wouldn't watch Lost."

Diabeetus still has his feet?

More like Look Who's Talking Too!

I'm sticking with milkahol.

It's Crocs all the way down.

If you did that, OrangeCrush, she'd have one in the oven.

Notice that they promise you can meet "many big beautiful wo man," no women. I'm not sure what "wo" is, but I think I'll pass.
