Ringo was the best drummer of all the British invasion groups and still ranks as one of the most original and innovative drummers in pop/rock. His studio work is amazing—his drums cut through when needed, accent when necessary, support the song … and sometimes go absolutely batshit insane. His work on "She Said She…

"Yeah…I'LL TAKE A WALK!" (Over to Kirk Douglas' house)

I can't upvote these Ripley comments enough. It's an amazing character and an even better performance. She's tough, human, vulnerable, compassionate—as well rounded as any character has ever been. And Weaver is so fucking good in this movie—and everything else, really.

I thank you for putting into words how I feel about Beyonce and the image/work she is putting out there. Very well done. I mean, I know she doesn't give a shit, I guess, but she's just so exhausting.

Prince, to me, is that inarticulate itch of nostalgia, that dreamy haze of the 80s, that shining of example of an "other" kind of life available to all of us in the small-town south where I grew up. He's also an example of the kinds of gifts I wish I had—the gifts I almost have — and, therefore, he is a reminder of…

Ha…and I hope Colin Hay is feeling all right today. And the dude from Dexy's Midnight Runners is strapping on his bullet-proof overalls as we speak.

Ha, I just watched that episode the other night! One of their best. Well, at least we can laugh a little bit, I suppose.

Much welcome. Thank you for taking the time to say that. Peace be with all of you today, my internet friends.

This is true. Could have only happened in the 80s. What a weird, awful, wonderful time it was. Of course, I know the rosy haze of nostalgia affects my judgment…but he was just so WEIRD and powerful and full of charisma and unlike anything little white kids from the Midwest had seen. Definitely rocked the boat…he could…

Ha, I suppose that's true. He wants to outlive Yoko anyway, I'm sure.

Ha, stay away from the Beatles and the Bob Dylan catalog for a while!

Ha ha! And my mind flashed to U2 and REM, also. Hell, this 80s kid is even worried about Sting and the remaining members of various one hit wonder bands!

Someone please put McCartney in a bubble and have doctors on standby. Now.

So many things will be said today and throughout the coming days, both here and elsewhere, from professional writers to web commentators to huge fans to casual fans…man, nothing will quite capture who he was and what he meant to so many especially back in the 80s. It was MJ, Bruce, Prince and Madonna.

Indeed. Funny, though, how—as great as the shot is—the shot loses a lot without Cream playing in the background to give it that extra menace. And by cutting it before DeNiro takes enough puffs on that cig…the shot loses even more.

I'd like a movie centered on Hostess' delicious and stupefying pies. Those big bricks of sugar-coated garbage…mmmmmm.

Jeez, I forgot that even happened! Yikes, that was horribly bad. Arnie is just too iconic…his action movie DNA runs too much through our culture, and we should just leave him alone for chrissakes!

Wait, so Woody's not in this or there is debate that he won't return? They rode off together in the truck, ready to tackle whatever life throws at them, confident and secure in their new family. I don't need to see what happens next, damnit, just stop, because it will tear everything apart, make the conclusion of the…

Yep, the Conan stuff was one thing (that shouldn't have happened, but I can understand it). Don't want a new Commando and definitely no new Terminator reboots!

Ha, good call. I'm just waiting for them to remake Dirty Harry. You KNOW it's gonna happen. They better not mess with the Man with No Name trilogy, EVER.
