According to the script, anyone who didn't think S.S. was a genius, which includes Tina Louise, was a bitch, asshole, or idiot. Wells, meanwhile, comes off as a sycophantic teacher's pet.

Surviving Gilligan's Island
I highly recommend the TV movie Surviving Gilligan's Island. It explains, among other things, why Schwartz was a misunderstood genius, and why Dawn Wells was a saint whereas Tina Louis was a bitch. And it just so happens to be produced by S.S. and Wells, who seem to have some strange…

I liked Being There when it was called Gomer Pyle, USMC.

The only three words that make Spike as mad as Driving Miss Daisy are Dead Poets Society. Personally I like all three films. 1989 was a great movie year.

I don't even remember Bradley Cooper's role in this. And I certainly don't remember ever finding him funny. (though he was fine on Alias).

Remember when Hoskins, Devito, and Phil Collins were once reported as co-starring in a movie property with the title Three Little Pigs? Like in the late 80's. Anyone?

Noel is correct that All Revved Up is the best song on the album. Fittingly it, and not one of the bigger hits, was chosen for the "best-of" compilation of Todd Rundgren-as-producer tracks, An Elpee's Worth of Productions. Also present there is Personality Crisis by The New York Doll's, so there's another connection.

Yeah, she's worthy of attention, about as "real deal" as popular soul singers come these days. Hearing her won't make you throw your Etta James records away, but she's got good taste, talent, and magnificent chops. Her singing isn't bad either.

"Ah, what does he know? He's OLD!" One of my favorite juvenile delinquent camp moments, from Hot Rods to Hell, which is great fun.

Not to mention Ruebens looks a decade or two too young.

She is a better actor than Michael Bay is a director. But then I guess so is Demi Moore.

I want to think most rappers are cool with Elvis, but I fear that highly ignorant lyric did some lasting damage. If James Brown, Muhammed Ali, and Jackie Wilson were all friends who loved him, and Eddie Murphy idolized him, you'd think that would be enough.

If you go to Tupelo (which is awesome,) be sure to hit the hardware store where his mama bought him his first guitar. It's called something like Tupelo Hardware.

My guide at Sun was a cute girl actually named Planet Swan. She was Billy Swan (of 70's "I Can Help" - a hit also covered by Elvis - fame) She danced with an old guy in our group to a rockabilly cut at one point during the tour. I talked to her after and got some recommendations for night spots for dancing to R&B.…

Conaway in many ways embodied the insecure soul of an actor on that show, his vulnerability and basic decency came through in the performance. Certainly Bobby Wheeler didn't seem like a good actor, but Conaway aquited himself nicely, especially in the company a generous sampling of some of the greatest sitcom…

Stoned is exactly the state I already intended to see this in, and on my birthday. Similarly, The Fountain was a wise choice to take in while high.

I meant facetious.

Weird Al Definitely has some good original melodies and grooves.

I think they have a hit ratio of somewhere just under 50%. I Threw It On the Ground, The Creep, and even this latest thing with Michael Bolton all left me completely cold, they seemed like ideas coughed up in a last minute "well, we have to write SOMEthing today" desperation.

Things the UK version has more of the US version has: subtlety, realism, spontaneity, emotional depth, wit, hilarity, artfulness, verisimilitude, consistency of tone, etc.
