Good one. Lots to choose from. NxNW was my first inclination because he's a seducer and he gets jilted, he's a son and an adult bachelor and professional, and he's alternately vulnerable and dangerous. It's not a great actor-ly role for him, bcs he's always on the move and rarely doing any interesting acting in it -…

Roger Thornhill in NxNW foremost, but Cary Grant in most anything.
Or at another part of the spectrum, Jack Butler, aka Mr Mom, and the way Michael Keaton embodied the role.

Dinosaurs create Summer spectacle.
Spectacle creates ID4.
Dinosaurs and aliens create "Scientician Goldblum."
Goldblum destroys mothership with iPad.

Bellona, it's your line.

I think Stewart's going to become a lot less interesting too, and fast, without TDS crew creating material for him. Unless he's smart and hires a bunch of them to continue researching and writing for him. Otherwise, consider the term, 'prestige project,' and what it connotes.

With most grievous dispatch I will open the latch to get at the queen's snatch.

Just want to express support. Big talent, great partnership with Wurster; I'll wait and follow whatever Scharpling / these two do in the future. Take care of yourself, el Tom, and get back. Get off my comment.

The ridiculousness of "Lorraine's My Nurse," how did that one escape rocketing up the charts?!

Relatively underground? I think he was good at getting good tracks from lesser known bands in a genre that was already in full swing.

One hand claps.

Interesting time in music. Post-punk seemed to be fading, metal was raging while hair metal and stadium rock was hitting its stride, and then this great if small space for electro synth music opened up, and it ended up making its way into John Hughes movies (which probably signaled the end of the movement). This is…

Storage is like war, only enter into it if you have a clear exit strategy.
The stuff one sticks in there usually isn't worth the dollars and portion of awareness that the storage costs. Even the memorabilia stuff. Sell, throw or give it away and then hit the road and get on with life. You'll accumulate new stuff…

Beetlejuice: Winona, Winona, Winona

Ps, what should be celebrated is The Daily Show; those who bankrolled it, those who envisioned what it could become and allowed it to take chances, its amazing staff of both researchers and comedy/narrative writers, its smart audiences, and yes Stewart, the guy who sat in the chair and talked. And not to slight…

We need conceptual clarity but whatever… Journalism is an umbrella term. I would tend to say Stewart is not a journalist. He is an entertainer who is also a critic of news media, some of which (media) is journalism.

Good to see Mighty Mouse the New Adventures on the list.

1999 was one of the happiest years of my life, and all set to that amazing soundtrack. And then the breakup. After she left, all I could find was sadness and misery in Elliott Smith's XO.

Best director in history? Stay with it, buddy boy. Now give me the key.

Hmm, tough one. Write this to her on Fb:

I don't like the idea. It's more, "I saw a little known great movie" than "this really needs a remake." The original was near perfect. It hits despair and dread so well. It's got a visual texture analogous to the sound of a well worn vinyl album. How could remaking it create more satisfaction than revisiting the…
