I'd like a decent copy of MTV's 25 Lame special from 1999, where Jon Stewart, Denis Leary, Janeane Garofalo, and Chris Kattan riff on awful music videos by Nelson, Journey, Don Johnson, etc. It was also the special where they made the mistake of giving Vanilla Ice a baseball bat and he destroyed the set.

I was a bit dismayed that Alaska took so much heat for her boy drag, especially since the winner of that challenge played a giant chicken. (Detox was great, but both pushed the drag label.) As for the other team—damn, don't promise us a "magic bush" if you're not going to deliver one!

Saturday I saw the original Dawn of the Dead at the Alamo Drafthouse. It was introduced by the guy who played the helicopter zombie (the audience applauded his decapitation), which was a fun surprise. DotD is fantastic on the big screen, especially the comic book splashes of blue zombie skin and fluorescent red blood.

Yeah, but it was such a silly, over-the-top way for him to visualize her. (Andrew Lincoln's "RRAUGH ARNGH NAWGH GET OUT!" acting didn't help.) When he saw Hallucination Shane he looked normal, so Rick's breakdown there was less ridiculous.

Ghost Lori was pure camp. That white dress! All she needed were wings and a damn harp.

Well, Rick was apparently willing to leave her outside the prison to be attacked by zombies (even though he saw her carrying the "peace offering" of supplies and formula) until Carl intervened. I don't blame Michonne for immediately putting her guard back up once she regained consciousness.

But without the Talking Dead, how else will we know what Napoleon Dynamite and the Jane's Addiction guy thought of this episode?

Let's see, the group on the secret dangerous mission to raid Woodbury is Rick, Daryl, Michonne, and….Oscar.
