I first watched this when I was plowing through all of AFI's Top 100. A couple of years ago I tried to watch again it on TCM. I couldn't make it past the opening scene. It was the relentless nostalgic romantic view of the antebellum South that had me "Nooooope. Not going to subject myself to three and a half more

The Jazz Singer was the very last of the original AFI 100 films I watched. Goddamn what a piece of shit.

Does anyone else remember a random-ass TV moment from around 25 years ago (I'm thinking day-time TV talk show) where the speed-talking guy from the Micro-Machines toy commercials recounted the entire plot of Gone With the Wind in like under 45 seconds?

No, no the show doesn't pick up. It falls immediately into "Not all cops are bad" apologies.

"He retreats into false equivalencies far too often" may be the understatement of the decade… Did you miss the part where he held a rally that 100k+ people attended and listened to him bloviate about false equivalences? That protesters in Code Pink were as bad as war criminal John Yoo? (etc etc, but he literally made

Ah, no. Watching someone who made a career for himself acting as a stoner and to turn around, bend over backwards and lick Obama's butthole to justify why there is still a "War on Drugs"… fuck Kal Penn.

You all are missing/forgetting… the time they were talking about "American Sniper" and an actual US military sniper started talking about killing people, like a complete fucking psychopath, and no one had the balls to say "Dude, you are a complete fucking psychopath." but instead called him hero. This and now the

It wasn't just "token conservative": It was token conservative with absurd far-right viewpoint who got to answer to every other panelist and the host and dominate the conversation. God that was fucking awful.

I'm glad someone else has heard this incredible track.

I would have liked to have seen just a little more about his Dream Team experience and NBA career. It was kind of startling that the golden boy of the NCAA & member of the greatest basketball team ever assembled just fell off the face of the earth, as before the days of NBA TV T-Wolves games were just never broadcast.

What, are you saying you don't love a Big Ten Inch?

And was a pretty cool ending to Wayne's World 2.

Do people who call R.E.M. "Rem" count?

I'll always have a spot in my heart for this Aerosmith album, as it was the first concern I ever went to. There is something to be said about older-school stadium rockers as they knew how to put on a performance and really entertain their audience (out of all the acts I've seen, only Ozzy really compares, albeit…

Chiming in late: Reading some of the comments— I too didn't know there were more Hatchet sequels after The River, but I do remember my parents renting the unofficial(?) sequel to the film version of the Hatchet, something like "A Cry In The Wild 2: The Legend of the White Wolf". The ~basis of the plot was that

Upvoting the fuck out of @fawlty:disqus , cuz fuck police-state apologists.

Dude, there's gonna be a new Toejam & Earl…

Great, now I'm gonna have "DON'T KILL CHILDREN; DON'T RUN 'EM OVER! LET 'EM LIVE THEIR LIVES; LET THEM GET OLDER!" Stuck in my head for the rest of the week.

To be clear, I upvoted you for "IT'S TIME TO PAY THE PRICE." and not because I think Bob's Burgers is better than Home Movies.

I found myself repeating "Quarters for the bus… quarters for the bus…" to myself the other day; I may have sustained a head injury that I've since forgotten about…
