Sears
I never thought about the use of Sears being product placement. To me, it's the same as the recurrence of Applebee's. In a town like Dillon, you only have a few chain stores and restaurants, and they tend to be the godawful depressing ones. I thought of it as being realistic and sort of funny, but it's extra

How did "Don't Rain On My Parade" qualify as a show choir number. It was a solo. The other kids walked in toward the end, but Rachel sang it by herself.

I remember when this came out
But I never saw it. I always heard it was non-stop product placement, but I didn't realize just how bad it was. Oh dear god.

The Harvey Keitel line made me laugh harder than anything else I watched last night. My name is Annie, and my teenaged virgin self saw Keitel's unit way too many times.

I know it says "guido," but what they really mean is "American."
Come on, it's not like one particular group has cornered the market on douchiness. It's just that douches with certain ethnic backgrounds live in areas with higher concentrations of other perfectly lovely people with the same ethnic background. And New

I agree, except I'm a woman. My husband watches with me though, and we both have heard songs we otherwise never would have because of the show. I'd never heard Bootylicious before last week! And I never heard the entire Thong Song before the show either, and now I have the Glee version on my iPod.

Yeah, me too, Smack.

This show makes me cry about as often as Friday Night Lights. I am way too emotionally involved with every aspect of the Quinn-pregnancy storyline. I cried when Finn sang to the sonogram, I cried when her dad kicked her out, I cried when Puck turned out to be a good babysitter (sexting aside), and so on.

My husband and I rewatched AD Seasons 2 and 3 over Thanksgiving weekend, and we both agree that the series ended on a perfect note and any movie is far more likely to tarnish its legacy than enhance it. Don't do it!

I love the Puppy Bowl. I absolutley would pay a few bucks extra to have a 24-hour puppy network.

Hey, I came to Homicide: Life on the Street because it was in reruns on Lifetime for several years. Every now and then, they pick up a decent show. Of course now that we have TV on DVD, I don't even have Lifetime programmed into my TV.

Yeah, that's awful. These movies all sound like the first part of an afterschool special, before any of the characters learn lessons and become better people.

Joe Lo Duca's score for Army of Darkness IS kickass! I have the CD. Oh god, I'm such a dork.

I saw The Monster Squad for the firs time earlier this year, and I loved it. I haven't been so keen on a lot of my husband's childhood "classics," but that was a good one. You know what movie sucks though? The Goonies. It's 90 minutes of children screaming and hollering, and that kicks in way before their lame

Army of Darkness was the first DVD I ever bought, back in 1998. I have EDII on Laserdisc. I also have two versions on VHS and the DVD that came in the tin that doesn't fit well on my DVD shelf. I usually watch them around Christmas time, so thanks for reminding me.

I do not remember Kyle Chandler being in Pure Country. That movie played at the theater where I had my first job. I was 15, and my main memories of it involve having to pick up LOTS of cups filled with tobacco spit while cleaning the theater after the showings, and finding a number of empty booze bottles on the floor,

Can I get that started by saying I didn't really care for Bottle Rocket?

Farscape is outstanding. If I was picking just one episode, I'd probably go with "The Way We Weren't" or "Die Me, Dichotomy." Never was a big fan of "The Choice."

But they were cupcakes this time! Cupcakes!
