When it comes to human/alien team-up buddy-cop movies, I'll take this over Alien Nation any day.  This one's way more fun and takes itself way less seriously.  AN's good and all, but I kind of got turned off of it by some obsessive nerds who geeked out on it just a little too much.

I liked it too.  I remember renting it on more than one occasion back in the '80s.  I bought it on DVD a couple of years ago packaged with The Hidden 2, which I've never bothered to watch.

My bad.  I get what you're saying, and you're exactly right.

Wrong-o.  When it began, Batman had retired and hadn't been seen for like 10 years, long enough that kids considered him just an urban legend.  But you're right, he doesn't quit at the end, but just goes underground, and besides, there was a sequel where the Dark Knight returned yet again.

Well, he quit in The Dark Knight Returns, and I don't think too many people have accused that graphic novel of fundamentally betraying the character of Batman.   The Dark Knight Rises fundamentally betrayed the idea of not being a boring, stupid, overlong movie with an annoying, ridiculous villain and a ludicrous…

"Sense of humor?" I can't fathom this at all. It was one of the most humorless movies I've ever seen. Did you huff nitrous oxide before going into the theater?

A lot of adjectives come to my mind in regard to DKR, but "entertaining" is certainly not one of them.

I liked Superman Returns okay, but I was never sold on Routh. What sold me on Routh was his role as Todd Ingram in the Scott Pilgrim movie. He was really funny in that and really sold the role. After I saw that I really wished they had given him another chance at Supes.

Wait, which half?

Jesus, did DKR fucking suck or what? I haven't seen Man of Steel yet, but I have little desire to do so because I know Goyer and Nolan wrote it, which means it will be joyless and incomprehensible.

It wasn't an absolute disaster, it just needed to be trimmed down a lot.

Goddammit, @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus , I see you already did that that one further down the page.  Shoulda figured that someone would.

Sometimes you lean on the b'ar, and sometimes the b'ar, well, he leans on you.

Oh, man, Neil Young's stage rig is amazingly convoluted.  He even has a little machine called "The Whizzer", built by his guitar tech, that sits on top of his main amp and and physically turns the volume and tone knobs to preset settings that he controls with a footswitch.

Cool bass story, dawg.

Peaveys were really popular among country players.  Watch just about any musical guest segment on Hee-Haw from the mid-'70s thoughout the '80s.  Almost always Peavey amps present.  I mean I never watched Hee-Haw.  That's just what I heard.

Peaveys?  Trust me, it's better that they're fake.

Well, ALLLLLLLL-righty, then!

They have some rather unexpected musical guests for a kids' show.  My toddler loves this one…  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Hell, I remember him as Derek on Silver Spoons and then his own starring role on the short-lived sitcom It's Your Move.  The "Dregs of Humanity" episode was particularly memorable (in fact it's the only one I remember).  http://www.youtube.com/watc…  The memorable part starts about 11 minutes in.
