Also, fuck Field of Dreams for baseball content. Shoeless Joe Jackson does not have a Jersey accent and does not primarily bat right-handed. Mostly because he's dead, but he didn't do those things when he was alive, either.

Rookie of the Year, good call. One of Busey's last non-crazy roles.

^I approve of this comment.

That's probably the most thing hilarious thing I've read in some time. Of course, I'm completely stoned right now, so take that with a grain of salt there, sonny corleone.

I remember getting into early Sun Records stuff and really digging Pat Hare's "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby," a blues song which became all the more awesome to me when I learned that Hare actually did go on to murder his girlfriend and end up in prison. Yeah, it's fucked up on my part, but man do I love that song.

Gotta go with the live "Jersey Girl" on the '75-'85 box set. When he comes in with his sax toward the end of the song, it's like the whole audience has an orgasm at once.

"When did Dave Grohl become a cameraman?"

Lump is justified by the existence of Gump.

Genius. In. France.

The Coasters
Not necessarily novelty songs, but they (and by extension, Lieber & Stoller) were never without a cheeky sense of humor. I love every Coasters song, especially "Riot in Cell Block #9" and "Down in Mexico" (both versions).

Boy, he looks a hell of a lot like older Dolph Lundgren there.

You guys have fun. I'll be going for Rashida Jones.

Jennifer Connelly and Kristy Swanson as lesbians, if I remember correctly… and I do. Often.

I guess the idea to dress up like nuns seemed inconventional at the time.

At least Elvis never claimed to be the "King of Rock 'n' Roll", a media-coined term that he was rather uncomfortable with. In fact, he would often refer to Fats Domino as the "real" King of Rock 'n' Roll, doing so once at a press conference for his first post-comebck show in Vegas.

Goddamn, this place has gone to hell.

Hmm…
How about Rocky, the whole fucking movie.

"…unnamed bastard love child…"
Stay classy, O'Neal.

I'll go you one better: with the exception of Cowboy Bebop, Twilight of the Fireflies and possibly Ponyo, I haven't seen one anime that was worth the sweat off of a fat man's taint (= about 0.4 Danzigs).

Smash the other lights too, just to be safe.
