None I'd care to share.

There were a couple of angles.

True story:  I worked on the Time Chasers film crew the summer after I graduated college.  I'm also in it.  (I play the luckless janitor who gets knocked out by the hero in the airport clip above.)  We did about 14 takes of that punch, with me falling onto my back onto the cement floor each time.  Around take six, my…

Roger Ebert's review of "All of Me" managed to admire Steve Martin's performance while at the same time slamming Steve Martin.  To wit:

"I love you Darlene, and I want you to get the hell out of here."

Why yes, in fact I was expecting this article to be about "Hazy Shade of Winter."

I came into the comments to see if anyone had posted "Buffalo Bill," and to post it myself if no one had.  That was an amazing piece of television that somehow made it on air during the height of the Reagan era.

With almost all of the song inventories, there seems to be a great Jonathan Richman song that's left off the list.  Richman has the nifty monster songs "Party in the Woods Tonight" and "Abominable Snowman In The Market" (though maybe both are simply too literal to qualify).  Not quite as egregious as leaving "That…

Fun fact:  There's a phone number in "I Am the Cheese" that doesn't have the standard "555" area code.  People who called it discovered that it was Robert Cormier's actual number.  Knowing this, I called him when I was in the fifth grade and he was gracious enough to talk to me for about ten minutes about books and…

Never mind the Muppets (though, yes, them too).  I want WKRP with the original music intact.  Everyone in charge needs to stop being an asshole about that one.

"The Hot Rock" (1972), starring Robert Redford, features a terrific scene in which our heroes fly by a still-under-construction World Trade Center.

Actually, this episode aired August 25, 1993.  The Bill Hicks incident occurred on October 1, 1993.  So The Larry Sanders Show was just eerily prescient.
