There was actually a good thread about this in the Annie Potts Random Roles (she did the voice of Bo) from last week. Consensus was that: A) It was a nice dark little moment in a film full of them and B). they had good reasons to write her out. She got a good mention, as did Wheezy the penguin, in tribute to Joe Ranft…

Agreed. I thought this was a strange choice as an MCA tribute since 1) Mike D usually starts the first verse of each song and 2) MCA gets the last one. Such as:

Inventory idea for next week: Songs that make you giggle, dance, sing-along, nod your head, remember your younger, more carefree days, feel angry (about cancer taking another life way too soon) and, as of today, profoundly sad, all at the same time. Can't think of many other artists that fit that criteria. RIP MCA.

Exactly, except triple that number if you're counting the times that the kids are reenacting scenes around the house throughout the day. (My 3-year old does a pitch-perfect Woody) ;)

Here's the line from the script

The toddlers here are in a major Toy Story fixation, so I'm glad she got to talk about Bo Peep. I guess they wrote her out of TS 3 because it  wouldn't make sense for Andy to keep her, and maybe the kid sister didn't want her, so yard sale it was for her and Wheezy the Penguin, etc. It actually produced a nice little…

Mad and trying to get over it: Melodic pop-punk, sing-along choruses, etc. like MXPX, Bouncing Souls and a second on the Descendents too. Also, any sort of Talib Kweli-Mos Def stuff seems to chill me out.

Great interview. Very interesting about the way he and Morrissey split up the Lyricist/Composer duties right down the line (I mean, Morrissey can't play anything, but remarkable restraint by Marr on not offering lyrics), kinda harkens back to the pre-rock and roll era of song-writing teams (Rodgers and Hammerstein,…

Seconded for "There is a light…"
And, um, a sentimental vote for Franky, Mr. Shankly and Cemetry Gates, just love the idea of verbally smacking down a fool over 19th century poetry, at least I did as a 15 year-old hopeless romantic. Kinda punk rock.

If you really liked Queen and Bombs, then yeah, but just download the tracks like Reel Around the Fountain and the BBC versions that are on there and you'd be all set.

I'm still waiting for his compilation of Canadian standards and folk songs. Oh, wait…

I'm impressed that they found .3 seconds of footage from Metal Slug where the guy is just running and not shooting.
Also, how is it that a collection of 16-bit pixels can make Wolverine's claw-pop more dramatic than anything Hugh Jackman has ever done?

Cherub Rock came to mind right as I read the title, Tommy Gun and REM too, then of course Bonzo's Whole Lotta Love because of the pic, but another one that I thought of instantly is Janet Weiss' intro on the title track of One Beat by Sleater-Kinney, but I guess that involved more than just snare. Oh well.
And yeah,…

My uncle wore his Clash on Broadway t-shirt until it literally disintegrated. Can't say that I blame him there…

I have vowed not to indulge in pointing out Siiiiimmmmms moments here, as doing so feels like shooting fish in a barrel at this point. I instead will join Sssiiiimmmmms in praising the work of Barney Martin and Liz Sheridan, which was consistently excellent since their first appearances. Barney is amazing because he…

He didn't die after all! That's right! Thanks. Still, sad.

The only Seinfeld quote I use in everyday conversation, since college really, that I also had forgotten was from Seinfeld. Love it.

These Kruger epsiodes are a little tough too watch now given his recent untimely demise. Sad stuff, marring  (temporarily, I hope) what are otherwise brilliant episodes.
