I strongly disagree but I understand a lot of people feel that way.

This is very well put, sir. Biopics have become so formulaic. Simply recreating events and skits and all of that just makes you long for the real thing and compare them in your mind. Can't capture that lightning in a bottle. "Wired" was a horrid film in nearly every conceivable way, but its attempts at recreating

Copeland rules. I've never heard anyone who can play like that. He could play a straight beat for 3 minutes and make it endlessly fascinating. As far back as Bonham was on the beat, Copeland pushed the beat like no one I've ever heard.

I remember reading somewhere that he used to break drum heads all the time when he was younger, but then he learned how to swing and just use his wrists. A lot of the sound also came from the way Page recorded him—a lot of cutting edge mic placement, etc. But you are so right—he had a feel that can't be taught, and he

Great list! And "Black Dog" is an amazing track—not only the rhythm once the "chorus" kicks in, but those damn verses—odd times, odd accents, but you don't realize it until you try to play along. Dude was from Neptune.

"Because….WE LIVE HERE!" *shoots dirty rotten commie bastard*

I'm with you, except for Harvey Korman in Blazing Saddles: "Why am I asking you?"

I bet it would like The Lamb Lyes Down on Broadway.

Gene Rayburn, too! The Match Game sexual innuendos were always better because of what he was packing!

OUCH. Burned hard. Very nice.

I'm sure someone else has made this comment: But will the show regularly feature kick-ass drum breaks, bad-ass synthesizers, and a cool-ass guitar solo?

Oh god, Fletch is a treasure trove for this kind of thing. It's not always easy to work in: "Why don't you guys go down to the gym and pump each other…" but I do it when I can. And anytime someone is near a bed: "WHAT DID YOU WANT UNDER THE BED?!"

I like to say "Good point, Annette" as often as possible when I begrudgingly realize someone is right about something.

It's an entirely different kind of film quote.

I say this one, too! I almost flipped my shit when Wet Hot American Summer referenced the Outsiders in the last episode of the series, I think? Damn, that was some good shit.

I feel like I will tackle it again at some point. We shall see!

Yes! And he squeals and gets dragged along in the mud. I love it.

Whenever someone kind of makes a half-assed effort, I always say: "After a thorough search of the first room…"

"Me winning isn't, you do." I try to say that once a week.

I always say "It's an entirely different kind of _____, altogether." If someone repeats the phrase back to me, or better yet, if TWO people repeat the phrase back to me, then we are brothers for life.
