I seem to recall Xtro 2 being a particularly unambiguous Alien knockoff.

People have always said that about Borland, but I've never heard one note from him in this band or in what little I heard of his other projects that suggests that it's actually true.

Boom, done! Thank you good sir.

I actually agree with that; I just think the intent behind it is clear enough (look at that beatific smile coming from the audience surrogate after that…that's not the polite, trying-not-to-be-snarky smile I'd be coming up with) that it feels more like a failure than a success at something unintended.

Speaking of Criterion, The Devil's Backbone next week! \m/

I dunno…I watched Life Of Pi the other day, and part of what kept it from being more than merely a great adventure for me was the extremely tall order it promised of a story that would make the audience surrogate believe in god. So it crazily stacks the deck when it offers a choice of views, nails a "…and so it is…

And, she got to make out with Rygel.

Your Wheel Of Time experience is why I waited so long to start reading ASOIAF.

Given the recurring "We were so awesome together, John!" theme coming from Bennett, it's also fun to pretend that John Matrix is actually John Deacon.

It was a spectacularly shitty time to be a horny young man.

Besides the time investment, there's a bit of that too - hell, I listened to a lot of Tori Amos in the 90's, and some things are best left as a fond memory.

There are many qualified REM candidates.

Woe be unto us all when Zach Braff can ruin Kickstarter but this lovely ginger fox is a lowly extra

I care nothing about this show. That said - who's the girl in the pic?

(looks it up) Brittany Murphy played a girl named Abby on the show…no idea if Charlie was dating her though.

I'm not sure at what point I lost track of Nip/Tuck, but I do fondly remember it for being completely batshit, basically the most gloriously trashy thing on TV at the time.

That dirty slut! (I say that as a late-90's flashback to my then-lingering breakup bitterness) I actually remember her being smokin' hot and probably more on the ball than any of the regular cast.

Whoa, is that how that Ben Browder story worked out? I thought he was the housepainter who wasn't interersted in her, which she couldn't comprehend.

Also notable - guest appearances by actors who only came to my attention later. Like Ben Browder as a housepainter who annoyed the shit out of Julia by not responding to her flirting, or Lauren Ambrose as "Myra Wringler" - who I don't remember a thing about but that name, just boom, set something off in here.

Oh man, this one is a flashback. Gobbled this show up at the time - got into a lot of ridiculous arguments on the newsgroup, that I'm sure I'd be utterly embarrassed to re-read now.
