Ah, the CBGB movie. That's something that came and went in a hurry.

Half past five o'clock. It's a British thing.

Michael Richards and his n-word routine?

I said it at the time, and I'll say it again: if Gervais had been any American stand-up comedian or TV talk show host you can think of, his performance would have been judged 'edgy', 'deliciously bitchy' or whatever. It was the fact that it was a little fat British man telling them how awful they all are that really

Aw, I can't help but feel sorry for the guy. Spending your whole adulthood being teased for some dumb thing you did when you were eight years old is pretty terrible.

Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen: Origins

I'm trying to remember if it came up when they had the (amazing) Pete and Pete reunion here in Portland. It must have done, but I don't know what the answer was. You've got to wonder why it's not available on any streaming service, either.

It referenced both Chaplin and Keaton. I found revisiting was not that great an experience, but YMMV.

And they're another ten times funnier if you watch them with a crowd. You get to see where the phrase 'falling in the aisles' came from. People actually do.

Wasn't it something to do with the music rights? That always seems to be the case with a lot of good unreleased 90s television.

"Hooray, I'm helping!"

That's a porn star name if I ever heard one.

Well, I got into them years before they got popular.

Ugh, I hated this show.

Yes, Keaton did repeat the myth himself, which only confuses matters.

At the time I felt it was a line-ball decision, but the more I think about it, the more I think Trebek made the right call. There is a clear difference between 'foal-idge', which is a verbal condensation of 'fol-i-age', and 'foilage', which is a pretty clear mispronunciation.

Ditto. Who knew that somebody somewhere thought two different Brooke Shields movies were worth remaking?

May I handle this one?

"As opposed to being nothing more than an inspiration for Benny And Joon"

If we're going to revive Zach Galligan's career, can we at least get Nothing Lasts Forever on DVD at last?
