All the pop culture I saw for at least the first twenty years of my life oversold the importance of a music festival. 

I saw a snake dick once - looked like a curly red pipe cleaner.

While I think John Crichton's "craziness" is a little oversold by fans and creators, I think the various torments and indignities heaped upon him get him a respectful nod here.

Holy nutella-lubed thundercock, I love me some Polanski threads at the avclub. 

I wouldn't call High Road To China whole hog but…who am I kidding, I haven't seen it in 25+ years

He's a lot swearinger than I imagined.

Get a haircut, hippie!

I thought it was a gimme that they were the droids.

Judging from the Torontonians I know, I don't think you're wrong - though I don't know if these guys (generally young, sharp, liberal, either very proud or working hard on being very ashamed of their city) ever felt much of a rivalry with Montreal, which they all openly envy because they're all metal fans and Montreal…

Whup - missed the point where the asker said "He's gay". (smacks forehead)

I just realized, she probably means Shania Twain.

So what's your town's rival town? Ours is Edmonton. I suspect it's because they're a government town, and we're all like, "Boo! They're…The Man!" Otherwise, identical enough to Calgary that the other 7 billion people in the world couldn't hope to tell them apart. 

What the shit is a Shania?

I couldn't help but notice his characterization of Catwoman was pretty much the same as would later be his characterization of Elektra - right up there on a pedestal.

I keep conflating Warren Ellis and Mark Millar into the same person.

Never did see this - I seem to recall it getting quite the gangbang of critical sodomizing at the time.

One of those cases where once I saw the resemblance I could never un-see it again. Like Mel Gibson and Abe Vigoda.

Every time I got roped into seeing a John Cusack movie, I always felt better knowing with some confidence that at least Joan Cusack was probably going to be in it. 

He seems like such a cheerful old guy.
