Out of the entire Magnum PI series I've watched part of one episode…twice…and then Archer parodied it, so I was the only person in the room who got the joke.

Finally watch Hunger Games. Maybe watch an episode of NCIS.

But was the AV Club wrong about Arrested Development in that they over or underrated it?

See! Meanwhile, "Ode to Billy Joe" gets a movie.

Also….(Movie voice guy) "In a world where 'Convoy' became a movie…how the Hell did 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' not become a movie"?

Didn't really save the day. He's lucky she took it for what it was, and gave him a pass on being a clingy stalker.
S'all right though. Been there done that. Including his schenanigans in High Fidelity. The stalker ones, not the insane cheater.

"Little Green Bag" from Reservoir Dogs…ooh that just made things worse. Nevermind.

"I don't think this country has made atonement yet" Ya think?
Given that there's only about a 25% chance of the Indians changing their logo and the Redskins changing their name in the next 20 years.
and a .001% chance of Columbus Day being abolished.

God how she made me hate Roslin. She (Roslin) was wrong soooo often.

No "Frankenstein"?

A 'real' Pet Sematery is unwatchable. I think 10% of the audience would faint if you showed a two year old get hit by a truck. And then the scene with the fight at the funeral….and the guy digging with his hands.
The movie was pretty crappy except for the excellent casting of Gwynne. But at least they kept the ending

I agree somewhat about Lauder, but his going from murderer to his, romanticizing "I coulda been somebody" is, at best self-delusional and shows that the character never really grew any.

I started rereading The Stand last night. Funny how age puts some things in perspective. Larry's mom is 51?? That's not old. I'm 49. But of course when I read it as a teenager, in my head larry's mom was probably 65 or 70.
Also, I cast Jennifer Lawrence as Franny in my head. I know she's overexposed these days, but it

Apt Pupil….well, it was awesome for the girl.

Which is more realistic…a laundry machine or a lemonade stand….hmmmm…

I think the gushing over the mini-series cast has that Return of the Jedi glow about it. In retrospect, not as good as people remember.
Sinise, Lowe, Ringwald, Frewer, Ferrer…those are parts that should have worked but just didn't quite dazzle. Flagg was subpar, Parker Lewis was disasterous casting.
BUT, Walston , Dee

Let's get a real musician who has little experience. Jack Black! (jus kiddin)
How bout Dave Grohl? Something like that.

Flagg was laughable in parts. Some of the parts didn't work, (Parker Lewis? Really?) but some parts and scenes looked like they came straight out of my ****ing head. Like the death of Ray Walston.

Oddly enough the Marilyn murder (see the latest released FBI documents) seems much more sinister and convulated than JFK's.

Don't forget the video game
