The Stand needs a 6 hour epic HBO mini-series treatment.

You know, I think "Reginald VelJohnson" screen-name/avatar might be the greatest in the history of AV club. I do love your comments, but I chuckle EVERY time I see that picture of Reginald with that awful yellow and black shirt. Seriously, you are a genius. The other favorite is definitely "HBO CEO of Tits" but I…

It really depends on how big of Cheers fan you are. I was obsessed with the show when it was on so it was a real historical moment for me when I finally visited there a few years ago. The inside looks nothing like the real bar though. Don't bother with the Cheers "recreation" bar at Fannuli (spelling?) Hall. It's…

Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles are the two greatest sugary breakfast cereals ever made. They're incredible. I've stayed away from them once I hit my mid 30's but I still get giddy and tempted whenever I pass them in the cereal aisle. As a kid, my mother sometimes would buy Cocoa Krispies. On what planet would…

One of the greatest SNL commercial parodies ever. Those types of ads with the "comparison to how many bowls you would have to eat" were pretty popular in late 80's, early 90's. They just nailed it.

"There is no such drink as a 'Screaming Viking'!

The food at the Bubba Gump in Time Square is absolutely disgusting. Took my nephews there who were visiting. Stay far, far away…

This is the story I have heard many times too. It was actually King's first contact with Kubrick after Kubrick had just signed on to direct the film adaptation. It was the first signal to King that Kubrick was going to go his own way on the adaptation.

I have to say, all of those essays on The Shining at Dissolve were fantastic. Great comments there too.

As writers, we mythologize our inner narrative.

Yeah. This seemed like a weak inclusion and this is coming from someone who thinks The Wrestler is a classic. If he's addicted to anything, it's anabolic steroids, which feeds his real addiction: the need of hearing the love of that crowd when he's wrestling, because he could never get that in his personal life…

On that federal tit!

"He (Tony) pours me a drink in one hand while judging me with the other. All the while pouring scotch down his fat f-cking mouth"

That's where my knowledge of Brenner mostly comes from, from his dozens of appearances on Stern over 3 decades. Always a great guest and Stern was always appreciative of the way he stood up for him in his early troublesome days of radio.

All of us men who were young in the old Real Sex days have had this same experience. I know I learned quickly not to use the show to fulfill those….um….needs. God, there was some ugly naked people on that show. The next big disappointment in that area for HBO was Cat House, unless you like masterbating to hookers…

One thing that bothered me was the news report stating that the FBI didn't think the Tuttle family was connected to the killer. Eddie Tuttle may be a big name in Louisiana (and thus protected within the state) but that wouldn't mean crap to the FBI nailing a Senator in a family cover up involving ritual murder and…

You're right. 8 men in the video. And Ted Childress was the Sheriff and Billy Childress was Errol's father whose corpse was at Errol's. Officer Childress was probably a son/nephew of Ted's.

Now I'm confused. What "other" three men? And I suppose the dead body at Errol's was actually his father, Sheriff Billy Childress. Although I thought Gareki had told Rust and Hart in the beginning that he had already died.

Ok, so the 5 (or was it 4?) masked men in the video were:
