I remember seeing an interview with Tucker somewhere before the movie came out where he was asked if he had any advice for aspiring writers, and he was all like, learn your craft. Gotta know your craft. Couldn't help but shudder at Tucker Max lecturing everyone about craft.

Heartily agree.

Yeah man, hate that one too.

Oh man, I love the radio announcer. And I love "knee deep in the hoopla." Also, "Marconi plays the mamba."

You know, I've always really liked the song, and my immediate reaction to the whole "worst song ever" is that there's gotta be so many more, better examples, though I can't think of any that come to mind. Regardless, I've never realized how sanctimonious it is, though there's a part of me that finds the fact that it…

Was talking to a buddy of mine the other day about Desperation. Desperation was one book that made me think I was an idiot when I got to the end.

Not from New York, never been to New York, but 9-11's something that still bothers me to this day. The senselessness of it. People being forced to jump out of buildings. Terrible. That said however, this script was pretty good, even if it might've been a rehash of a lot of previous elements of the show. Opening…

Ashamed to admit that I haven't quite seen all of Smokey & the Bandit, although there's something about it that predisposes me to liking it even if I found it a little slow and almost devoid of narrative drive during my viewing of 3/4s of it back in February or so.

You know, I didn't like it when they first released pics of it, but I got to where I really liked it.

If I remember correctly, it's also why they recast Mike. Coscarelli had the choice of either the guy who plays Reggie or the guy who plays the original Mike and ended up going with Reggie. Original Mike returned for three and four. And presumably five.

Yeah, the second one comes on cable all the time. Watched it again recently just a few months ago. A pretty solid sequel.

Love Phantasm. Haven't seen the fourth movie, but I've seen two and three. Of the sequels, I think I like the second one the best.

"We're burning down the highway skyline, on the back of a hurricane, that started turning, when you, were young. . ."

One of the comments on one of the tracks on YouTube is a guy basically saying the LPC dude called the meatpacking plant where he worked. What I thought was funny was not that LPC called, but that, apparently, he called 10 times a day, every day.

I love that one of the selections on the soundboard is, "Is he incarcerated?"

The more I think about it, the more I realize that maybe some of the impulse control problems that keep people from getting out of poverty (since nobody can help being born into it) are the same things that make it more likely you'd fool around.

Ah.

You know, there's a part of me that kind of makes me think people on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum would be more susceptible to this, but then again, people at the higher end are people too. Certainly infidelity's no stranger there either.

Whoa. Remember the Micro Machines guy, but not the FedEx Guy.

Yeah, I keep hearing about Hotline. What was it about? Sounds like a good subject for a documentary.
