Bilinda Butcher, at least, hasn't visibly aged at all since that photo. The usual deal with the devil at the crossroads I suppose…

She's Helen Of Troy gorgeous and has 3 dragons (and lately an enormous army sworn to fight to the death for her). She don't need no stinkin' 2nd Inaugural….

But she had rats the size of a Buick! (not so far removed from canonical 1977 NYC chick, alleged MPDG, Annie Hall)

Die The The The Die

And her royalties from I Will Always Love You and Jolene are pretty pretty sweet… Dolly FTW.

No, he's thinking about "The Purg-E", the one where a robot has just 12 hours to take out all the human trash.

You buried the lead!

1997 featured OK Computer, Homogenic, Urban Hymns, Fat of the Land Xterminatr, and many other good 'uns that weren't Nirvana-bes but were definitely rock and kinda alternative… All sold pretty well too just not by the bazillions to young kids.

That….that was a little upsetting.

@avclub-e2e5a2b50da03a9ddf60898ebb20ebf4:disqus What are four (consensus awesome) '80s films with nifty synth-based scores? was what I had in mind, but OK, and that'll be Penis mightier, Trabeck.

Blade Runner? Risky Business? Heathers? Terminator?

What the hell is an 'automotive terrorist'? I'm kind of assuming it's someone who flies cars into buildings, but it could just be a terrorist with a driver's license. Or perhaps it's someone who suicide bombs or flies planes into Lexus dealerships?

Or "raises the question". I feel your pain EMG, but truly your cause is hopeless. Even supposedly ultra-pedantic, snooty rags like The New Yorker get BTQ wrong these days; let it go.
Moral: at least when you have a broad audience, you henceforth just have to say fully 'He assumes as a premise what he was ostensibly…

She's Back To Blonde, and reducing to her political-wife fighting weight. Yee-haw.

Smith was damn good as a gay hustler-type in Six Degrees of Separation (which is about as good as something like Magnolia I'd say) very early in his career. Smith's lack of interest in challenging roles (except possibly for Ali) since has been disappointing.

That Klapisch does a mean line in winsome Euro-chicks and multi-culti quirk.

Look out for the Fall of Stop-Motion, and the Steadicam Winter's a bear.

Really? Two-spaces after periods sort of makes sense if you use Courier or some other fixed-width font, but if you're using a variable-width font, as most of us do most of the time, then double-spacing looks wrong (like some horrible LaTex pre-print). Also, you single-spaced after your exclamation point in your…

I know a guy who's tough but sweet/He's so fine, he can't be beat

There's definitely something about 1967-1970 pop that lends itself to be curdled like this, e.g., Hurdy Gurdy Man in Zodiac, Get Together (C'mon people now, etc.) being raked over by Nirvana. And when the job's done well, it's true that no one ever hears the song completely straight again. (There'll be trouble if Mad…
