Well, it's certainly the greatest painting ever about screaming. Unless you count Hopper's Nighthawks - but those screams are muffled and coming from the kitchen.

I always use dog years. As long as I remember my 7 times tables, I'm set. And old.

I agree - great book and Cranston will be great.

So Greendale, though priding itself in its diversity, has pushed aside Mexicans and a cripple. A black cripple.

I'm not defending Heinlein (though I can in many circumstances) or that rape comment. It's not really defendable, except to say… it wasn't only Heinlein, back then, who had thoughts along those lines. So did judges, and cops. Check out the stats -or rather lack of them- on reported rape until very recently. A…

Wo - Yeah, so I'm sorry I reminded you of the story, but — kinda glad, because I was worried that maybe I was too hard on it, that I shouldn't hate a story as much as I do that one. Now I know there are at least two of us.

A Rocketeer sequel would have been great — but a sequel to The Phantom … god I would love that. He's my fave of all the old-timey superheroes and I think the movie did a decent job. I recall it being marketed horrendously ("Slam Evil"? what the fuck?) but when I finally saw it I was pleased with it, thought it did…

Joey Travolta and Virginia Madsen. No problem.

Gosh, know what? I only saw Sky Captain once, and just discovered that I have a dvd copy of it (given to me long ago, thought I'd loaned it out but found it this morning)! So this will be fun…

Then the subtitle of Malcolm VI would finally make sense!
Say it with me now - Malcolm in the Middle…

I loved the fact that Casey Affleck comes off as so… not weak, exactly, or even timid… just not a tough guy. Not trying to diss Casey Affleck here; as I said, I loved his portrayal of Patrick. in the books, though, Patrick is not a very macho dude (Angie is tougher probably) - he can use a gun but is the first to…

Oops, didn't see this. Still, two people plugging Donna's NewsRadio writeups isn't a BAD thing….
[They really are amazing - she's got some really fun things to say about the show's physical comedy, from framing to action, and it's insightful and fun.]

I've seen the full set for about 25 bucks, used, on various sites. I think it retails for around 50 still. But jeez. Even 50 is worth it. Amazing show, eminently re-watchable.

Do this, with News Radio, if you get a chance: rewatch it, and every so often check out the AVC's coverage of the show, episode by episode. Donna Bowman did an amazing job of appreciation + analysis. Honest to god I would buy those TV Club comments if they were a book.

I keep thinking I'll get used to it, but I'm not using a touch screen of any kind, just a real computer and mouse, and I STILL keep accidentally hitting the "down" button instead of replying. Haven't left it, though - it IS good that you can click again and take it off. Still. Kind of a weird setup, having them so…

Edvard Munch died in 1944.
Richard Belzer was born in 1944.

I was too, so my dad used to take Allah's name in vain, because heathens don't matter.

Duke Mitchell had superpowers though - how else was Otis Redding's Dock of the Bay his favorite song a full year before it was released? Hard to live up to that, I bet.

I never understood why someone didn't invent an actual Super-charger, or whatever it was called. A little structure with two constantly-turning big foam wheels. Your car goes into it and zing! shoots out the other side to make it up and over the loop.
Unless you used TWO sections of track for the loop, then it was…

Agreed on the Myth series by Asprin. When I first read them, I thought they were hilarious (and I was in my 20s) then didn't think about them for years.. but I picked up an old one, and a newish one, last year and… still pretty damn funny, and yes, the art is perfect.
I think the Myth series could be a really…
