    "Closing Time" is one of many songs listed - "My Favorite Mistake", "What I Got", "Hard Knock Life", "Father of Mine", and others - that I would still love if they hadn't been played 50 million times back when they were new.

    Fast Furious Five
    "Fast" because we drive some really fast cars. "Furious" because we're a bunch of angry dudes. And "Five" because there's one, two, three, four, five of us.

    If they're interviewing somebody who has a movie coming out (BROOKLYN'S FINEST in this case), there are time constraints - 15 minutes, 30 minutes, something like that - before the next reporter has to come in and do his interview.

    When they changed the title, I was pretty sure we were in trouble.

    I like The Modern Age:

    You better shake a leg, partner.

    Expect Hollywood to demand an ending where RFK fights Sirhan Sirhan naked on the floor of the kitchen.

    Sorry, the correct answer is DOUBLE IMPACT. There are three types of van Damme movies:

    I prefer INSOMNIA to THE PRESTIGE, but it's close. Neither is an A, but they're well-made, engaging thrillers.

    It's a Lion of Ion.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they called her "Doctor" because her Ph.D was awarded posthumously. From Tasha's description, it seems like this is a detail the picture would love.

    The weird thing about those Ellen Page ads is that she always looks surprised, like, "Technology is capable of THIS? Whoa!"

    Hate to burst your bubble, Joe, but the Looney Tunes that survived until our childhood are in the good stack. There are a whole shit-ton of Looney Tunes cartoons that we never saw and never will see, because they do everything except lynch Daffy Duck.

    Manwich, little do you know that the rapists and murderers are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!

    You know you're all thinking it.
    Shit My Shat Says

    I remember the NES version of this game.
    It was hard, like controller-throwing hard. I thought it was tougher than BATTLETOADS.

    I don't know this, but I suspect Fallon's acts bring their A+ game because they have to outshine the Roots.

    What Would Jay-Z Do?
    Just guessing here, but I think he would record a rap song about it.

    This whole "under 25" qualifier is mystifying to me. Jay-Z was 27 when REASONABLE DOUBT dropped. Mos Def was 26 when he released BLACK ON BOTH SIDES.
