Bob Saget was on How I Met Your Mother? Man I'm glad I bailed on that show early in. That guy needs a ticket on a plane to the sun.

Yeah, isn't that Funniest Videos bit to be taken as sarcasm? Or was that total snark fabrication? Now I'm not sure if I even know.

Especially since Ben became Leslie's puppy dog. I love Parks & Rec but I've hardly followed it since their wedding, and only just realized that is probably the reason. I never really bought her and Ben together. For a guy as reserved and self conscious as Ben is, never living down the memory of his disasterous…

I definitely agree his slavish, sad devotion to the ancient religion of glorified art director/ *occasional* storyteller Burton is a big part of the problem.

As pointed out by the Cracked.com list (#) Movie Prophets That are Full of Shit, Yoda was basically worthless even in Empire after Luke was partially trained. Tells Luke not to go to Cloud City because supposedly even if he helps his friends, it will destroy all they have fought for. And of course none of that…

Gary Marshall, the first name in entertainment whoring.

I can see where surpasing love for a band would make very few covers likely to please. Outside the Stax interpretations, I can barely stand most Beatles covers. Most of the Kinks covers are pretty faithful, but the modern production gleam and power pop guitar cruch mixes fit the material well. Also though I like…

Parenthood very much validates the silly sounding term, "dramedy." It's a little bit yuppie porn, but what do you expect from Ganz / Mandel and Ron Howard? Leap of Faith has the dramedy thing going on, and is certainly worth watching. I agree it should be shorter, and I'd start by cutting out the superflous…

I think we can all agree Steve Martin should never take chances with unusual tonal elements and literate references such as these examples in his movies. Better by far to stick with comic gold formula like Sgt. Bilko or Bringing Down the House.

I sort of liked Buckley's album at first, my girlfriend had it of course, but then I saw the guy live, and couldn't stand the mere sound of his voice after. His straight ahead material was fine, but throughout the show he would improvise ri these bluesy, interminable vocal riffs of improvised bedroom come-on lyrics…

"Obviously it didn't acheive anything?" That's a heck of a conclusion to draw. It didn't transform the world into paradise, I'll grant you. But most intelligent songwriters, even a master like Dylan, will tell you expecting that from a song is absurd. The purpose of art is to express the artist's consciousness (and…

All the self-righteous criticism of Imagine as a hypocritical song always amazes me. For fuck's sake, the operative word is IMAGINE, hence he is not literally advocating the renouncing of all these realities (some maybe, but not all.) He's talking about contemplating a Zen-like sense of being that dis-identifies,…

Fallwell look-alike: "That sounds like Communism to me!"

A Kinks / Ray Davies tribute called This Is Where I Belong is pretty damn good, contributers include Fountains of Wayne, Jonathan Richman, Ron Sexsmith, Yo La Tengo, Ray covering his own Waterloo Sunset, and many more!!

You know what, it may be the one in San Diego. I see there is a bunch of them now, and the Atlanta one is similar but not a match. I don't get downtown very often to see it.

Currently shooting near me here in Atlanta, from the looks of the mural behind him.

Pfeiffer was good but the DeVito penguin bit was boring and unpleasant where it needed to be fun. But of course a goth art director like Burton thinks it's cooler to have him grind raw fish in his beak than have some appealing dialogue and a plot with any momentum. Certainly Tommy Lee Jones took a back seat to Jim…

You know what, previous comment redacted, this is a full re-edit. Here's the nicer version: I think your response has no substance to dispute what seems to be concensus and has the only evidence behind it, and worse, it is immature by resorting to name calling. I think we're getting into negative energy and I don't…

My bad, confusing my hack blockbuster directors with a few good films to their name.

Falling Down
