This is true. But at the end he sort of looks at her as she comes out of the airplane and the general is giving him a choice to come back to the unit? He gives her a look, and it is sort of asexual in Arnie's particular way, but I always sort of inferred that he envisioned a possibility there. But then again, I've…

"I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes, John…I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU BETWEEN THE BALLS!" *cue spittle and subtext*

Upvoted for "Body Double"! Jesus, what a wonderful piece of 80s trash! Was there any mainstream filmmaker as trashy as DePalma?

Man, as a kid I loved MIA 1 and 2. I look upon that period with a lot of shame now! Not only for the right-wing politics involved but especially because the films are such shite. Still, MIA2 was one of those that I rented every Friday night at the local video store. They shoot that dude right through the temple in the…

You are so right—it really might be the best. So much great tension, setup and delivery. A kick-ass female hero. Human characters you care about and root for. Great heart. All-around badassery.

Ugh, ugh, ack! Heard some top 40 80s thing on Sirius this weekend, and one of the cuts was "When the Heart Rules the Mind." I mean, jesus christ. Worse than ANYTHING Asia ever did.

Ha, that's great! I remember playing that monster riff from "Machine Messiah." Damn, don't know why that album wasn't huge.

I went on a road trip this weekend and listened to a lot of Yes stuff—helps pass the time. "Drama" is like a breath of fresh air, and it does indeed sound fucking fantastic. The band sounds energized. I understand how some Yes fans would feel loyal to Anderson, but, man. It's got some of their best playing, and their…

I remember the 80s incarnation of ELP—Emerson, Lake and Powell had a pretty cool album cover and not that bad of a record. Much better than the original ELP's last stab: "Love Beach," which may be the funniest cover of all time.

Oooh, did he have Camel's "I Can See Your House From Here"? Still one of my favorites.

And you have every reason to be. Shit, Tarkus isn't even ELP's best album, if they even have a best album, which is pretty debatable.

Goddamned, that album cover fucking rules! I mean, who doesn't like big fucking dragons shooting out of the sea? Power chords of "Heat of the Moment" kick off and you think, "Yeah this could be pretty great! Oh, oh…I see. Oooh, this isn't so good. What the hell was that song? Oh, Steve Howe, why? Well, at least I'll…

Holy shit…as a big Yes/Dean fan, thanks for passing that link along. I've never heard of Osibisa. I love the Topographic Oceans cover, too. It's too bad the album is mostly a huge waste of time.

Oooh, ooo, a fellow Drama fan! That record rules, and it has a badass Dean cover to boot.

Indeed…and it was especially sobering after pretending to be Sgt. Pepper's band and on a magical mystery tour. This is the album that stripped all that pretense away—hey, we're the goddamned Beatles.

The white robes!

Ha, I think Collins' Face Value is definitely weird but nothing like No Jacket Required, which is like a disembodied red, sweating face. Phil, Phil, Phil.

Ugh. Poster children for all that was wrong with the 80s.

How about "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"? Which could be the single worst song of all time? *launches into a warbly "fellas, it's been good to know yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"*

I remember first hearing that song on a tape deck when I was 12 or something. Friend of mine said it was Emerson, Lake and Palmer and it did not compute because it was all English 12-strings and bucolic…and THEN the synthesizer freak out happens and goes on way too long and then I knew it was ELP all the way. Emerson…
