Oh hell yes.

I first encountered Bowie in Labyrinth. I loved Magic Dance, so I tried to talk my mom into getting some of his music. She shot that down because I was seven and Bowie was "too grown up" for me. I managed to get all the way into high school before finding my way back to him with Outside. The next one I picked up…

Howlin' Wolf - Forty-Four
Lushus - Mein Mamm
Wilco - The Joke Explained
De La Soul - Eye Know
Gail Ann Dorsey - Whether You are the One
Animal Collective - Good Lovin Outside
Bad Religion - You
Misfits - Children in Heat
Matthew Sweet - You Don't Love Me
Cake - Italian Leather Sofa

The movie is my all-time favorite Christmas film and I will watch it at least twice during the marathon run on Christmas day. The book, which I read last year after being a fan of this movie for my entire memory, I can't stand. The stories of Ralphie as a kid are pretty great, but adult Ralphie's tone in the linking…

Agreed. It's not as flashy as Cloud Atlas, but still entirely satisfying.

Slade House David Mitchell - I find Mitchell to be uniformly excellent and occasionally transcendent. This is pretty much a straight up horror genre novel from him, and while it isn't as good as my favorite things he's done, it's still really, really good.

There are colonoscopy videos that are 10X better than Mazerunner.

Also bad is the CGI of Luke's speeder arriving in Mos Eisley. There's all the stupid slapstick bullshit, but in particular there's a shot from the back of the speeder that's so shitty it looks like pre-vis. 3PO is just stacked geometric shapes sitting in a pile on the back of the speeder.

The edition of The Princess Bride I own has a lovely bit in the intro about the movie which contains a story about author taking Andre the Giant to Florian so that he could get a feel for Fezzik. All kinds of warm and fuzzies.

THIS IS MY JOB.

Wasn't morphing first featured in Willow? Admittedly, T2 flowing metal effect is more sophisticated and gets more screen time.

Getting down from the top floor involves a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.

This is funny, because one of the standard criticisms of comic book movies is that the first one is always hobbled by being an origin story, with the unspoken assumption being that a later entry will be better for not having to deal with an origin, but has this thinking ever actually paid off? Superman II is the only…

Yes. Cancel Two Broke Girls and shoot this as a multi-cam sitcom instead.

I don't know whether the R&D argument holds water when you examine how their R&D budget compares to their advertising budgets. A quick Google search on the topic turns up an article claiming Pfizer spends 33% of its budget on marketing and 14.2% on R&D. Making direct to consumer advertising for pharmaceuticals…

Apropos of nothing, I would gladly give the Onion Company Store actual money for a T-Shirt that says RAP BAND on it. After which, I will wear it anytime I perform acts that make lady liberty cry.

I would watch the shit outta that Pete & Pete idea.

My regular is Laphroaig. Lagavulin when I've got a little wiggle room in the wallet. The fanciest I've ever gotten was a bottle I bought for my dad when he retired, a single barrel Balvenie that was laid down the year he graduated from high school. It's a good thing that stuff costs so much, it's pretty goddamn…

I'd add Eric Powell's The Goon. It's funny as hell and surprisingly touching at moments. The art is amazing and it's got a fantastic cast of characters. Especially Buzzard.

I'm 6'4". It's no fun on the other side of that either.
