2001: A Space Odyssey at the drive-in. I'm old.

My biggest problem with this season
was the whole statutory rape story line. It seems to me that consensual sex with someone that Hank clearly didn't know was underage would not result people constantly saying things like "you're on trial for raping a teenager" or "you could be going to jail for 100 years" or

I'm trying to imagine the happy ending that Spielberg would have tacked on to Scarface (which, of course, stars Harrison Ford as Tony Montana and Richard Dreyfus as Frank Lopez).

I'm happy to live in any universe where someone besides Lucas handles the prequels.

Does this mean that Scorcese did the Godfather movies on Earth-2? Cuz that'd be even more awesome than Coppola's Taxi Driver.

The message I got from Gump was definitely "It's better to be stupid than to know what's actually going on around you." The movie is entertaining, but it's philosophy is damn near as bad as "Grand Canyon."

Seriously? There are people that don't like McNulty?

I'm one of those rare people that tried Laphroaig first and absolutely loved it. It's still my favorite.

Assuming Heather DID rat out Margene to the bishop
That makes it official: Every character on this show is a terrible human being.

As gimmick posters go, Xenu is one of my favorites. Someone needs to kill Lem Nosbig, though.

As someone that worked in a large, well-stocked toy store in 1980, I can tell you that there were definitely no Battlestar Galactica items on the shelves by then, let alone 1985.

Lobsters once had an Ace Frehley avatar, so yeah, he's one of those kids. As was I.

The only good thing about this episode
is that I called the Thunderbolt & Lightfoot reference immediately.

@asfd_man - Jennifer Beals is black in this show. And apparently in real life.

Hells yeah.

My wife met Paul Di'Anno a few weeks ago at the hotel where she works. Given the hotel and it's proximity to the venue he was playing at (it was not close by) and the fact that it is probably typical of his touring lifestyle, we decided that his life sucks. She did say he was a really nice guy, though.

Monster Magnet
On a snowy Tuesday night at Lupo's in Providence. There were only, maybe, 100 people there (Lupo's holds a couple thousand), I'm assuming due to the weather and not due to fan reaction to 'God Says No.' The band, and especially Wyndorf, put on an incredible show, despite the venue being mostly empty.

I just hung out with people that were older than I was, so never had trouble getting booze.

@CF - That guy was impossible to take seriously as Gacy. I guess the casting folks were hoping (foolishly) that there was no cross-over audience between Pee Wee and low-budget serial killer movies.

I usually tell people that Verizon has the best service (and by service, I mean the ability to connect a phone call and not have it drop) and the worst everything else. I have yet to see anything that contradicts that, except that I do love my Droid Incredible. So I guess I can't say they have the worst phones any
