Russell Brand is probably pretty hard of hearing.  Sure shouts a lot.

In my particular case, it skewed to that saw-the-movie-once-thought-it-was-okay-but-steadily-grew-to-hate-it-over-time demographic. 

Abrams' lens flares haven't bothered me since I started wearing smoked glasses when I watch his movies.
Sorry, meant to say "since I stopped going to his movies."  Typo.

No official timekeeping?  Only bragging rights?  Fuck it then:  I won this race. I win it each year.

Love to add to this, but I gotta -

Typical.  So since synagogues don't hold mass, you can destroy them with impunity????

I guess it might be a controversial choice, considering that no one in the civilized world wanted Terriers to be cancelled (tv execs not being part of the civilized world).. but I think its ending was perfect. 
Granted, I only caught the show after it had aired, and mainlined all the episodes as if I was watching a 13…

How can you not like a list that includes Puckoon, Sweet Soul Music and Mystery Train?

"only one thing: Amblyopia"

Don't be lonely.  I love Brewster McCloud beyond all reason… that is, I don't really know if it's a good movie, it just has SO many good pieces in it (wing scars, Rene Auberjonois devolving, Bud Cort's sincerity, Frank Shaft, bird droppings, William Windom…) that might not all fit together but damned if I don't even…

I should have mentioned this under the George Segal interview, but I didn't remember —   He was in a sort-of-sequel to The Maltese Falcon, a comedy called The Black Bird.  I don't think it was very funny, but he was Sam Spade Jr. (and lived in the same SF neighborhood as his dad; by the 70s it was not what it had been…

— and after this one he was the Tricycle Man in Nashville.  I don't remember him from California Split, did he have any lines?  The first two movies *I* saw him in, I wasn't sure he could talk.

Absolutely.  One of my favorite gambling movies.  Dreyfuss is so much fun in that.

Captain Kirk should have been fired a long time ago.  Not only is HE the one going to the strange planets instead of sending, you know, explorers or whatever, every time he has someone along who is not also a vital part of the should-stay-on-the-fucking-ship crowd, they get killed.

I just… okay, I'm not a woman so I don't know.  But how many women would go to someone's basement for their ob-gyn exams ?

It's the stash of weapons that would have gotten him fired (even pre-9/11).  But as for not doing his librarian work… hell, no student at Sunnydale ever even came in to the library.  (Except either Xander or Cordelia [maybe both] who had to be in there to overhear vampire-slaying plans and thus become part of the…

'Member when Liz tried to manage Cerie's workplace attire?  "Cerie…!  you have to wear a bra."   "No I don't.  See?"

Well… at least the food was served.  A better-run business than Soup 'r Crackers.

Agnew was hilarious (in retrospect).  What was the amount of the bribes he took, 5,000?  10,000?  I'm not saying other VPs have ever "earned" a lot more money from other sources in offce since, but that's only because I'm not saying "Cheyney".

I was too old for Sesame Street when it came out, though I watched it a lot anyway.  I love the interaction between Muppets and kids.  Think of it — you have a five-year old on the set, talking to Kermit or Grover or whoever.  You KNOW that kid is up on a small stage, and can see, if he looks down, the puppeteer (or…
