Old Overholt: Grandpa wasn't completely crazy! Yet!

Bourbon is distilled, in a distillery. Not brewed, in a brewery. I drink it quite often, and it's become a lot more popular over the last ten years, with the rarer bottles rising to the price levels people used to only pay for rare Scotches. But even I don't want to watch a show about people who make it. Let alone

I have never heard this song before in my life. So I can confirm that this is not the case of a song being played repeatedly and becoming obnoxious and then you have to hate it. This song is complete shit on the first play. Kind of summarizes what I hate about Paul McCartney, his complete lack of shame about

Well it did happen to Robert Johnson, so why not BB?

But look at it from the Ramones perspective. What better home for their music than a vaguely 50's ish goody two shoes high school. It is basically Rock N Roll High School, and from what I can tell the Ramones really did want to be a retro 50's basic popular teenaged kid aimed rock band, their music just came out all

I stand corrected about when Fisher left. I lumped him into all the good stuff and out of the ballad era in my head.

Actually, when they started out, Ann was the "hot one" but she did put on weight in the 80's and the videos started to center on Nancy so I guess I could imagine why people would now think Nancy was always the looker in the band. Nancy has aged very, very well. And she was the "hot chick in a car" in Fast times at

Yeah, they kicked out the exes, which is fine, but the replacements were not nearly as talented. And then eventually the label turned them into a bland power ballad band. Which probably made them a bunch of money, but did little for their musical credibility. But the original 70's lineup was a very good rock band.

Because they're not scheduled to redo that bill anytime soon. The ten is the one that is up next.

And so major heroes always revert to the original character after a bit. Captain America has been someone other than Steve Rogers a number of times. Jim Rhodes was Iron Man. The Fantastic Four have had numerous replacement members. But the original versions always come back, because that's what people seem to

Biggest dilemma for me? Uncanny X-men. I've really liked Bunn's recent work on Magneto and Moon Knight, and I'm happy to see him get a high profile gig. But really Marvel, you're still using Greg fucking Land? I can't handle seeing those three female faces on every character, and those terrible posed swipes he

No. Probably not. I'm just an Amanda Bynes completist.

Revelations. Although Running Free is pretty great too.

I wonder if Alice Cooper will play himself in the movie? They were pretty much besties for a while there, and you know Zombie would love that.

You have obviously never seen "She's the Man".

I love that the UK puts people who look like this dude on TV. And they hire a guy with a lisp (Jonathan Ross) to do interview shows. I'm not even putting these people down for having somewhat common features that would get them rejected from everything but local TV in the US. I think it's great and much more

That was the only entertaining part of his character for me, how "French Soldiers in the Holy Grail" over the top his accent always was. His plots were never all that interesting, and the whole Rogue/Gambit love thing never went anywhere.

Did anyone involved realize that Chris O'Donnel was a terrible actor and that the concept of sending him to college sounds like how they continued Saved by The Bell? Was Mr. Belding going to have a role in the plot as well?

John Carpenter really needs to get a "John Carpenter don't give a FUCK!" tattoo somewhere on himself. That way he can just save time answering interview questions by pointing to it. Whenever I've seen him asked about anything he really just doesn't seem to care. It seems like he just does a thing, and then moves

Want to hear a better story, still involving the Pirates? The Pirates Parrot mascot was charged with dealing coke as part of a sweeping drug investigation into baseball players using coke in the 70's and 80's. Now a sketchy looking dude in a Pirate outfit I could see dealing, but buying a gram from a Parrot?
