"The Electric Lady is really inspired by the diversity of rhythm and blues, in particular one of those rhythm and blues pioneers, Bo Diddley. He was a great American writer and composer who inspired The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones. There are so many subgenres that came from R&B music.…

I just remember seeing it on TV as a kid on the ABC Movie of the Week and being disappointed that it had nothing to do with Bugs Bunny. See also: Any Pink Panther movie.

Adam Arkin, sure. Alan Arkin, no way. Even when he's playing a milquetoast character, like the police captain in So I Married an Axe Mudererer?, he fucking owns.

I dunno, doesn't look that bad to me.

Man, I need to watch that movie again.

@avclub-1df8797177fc3b52be6784aacca7358c:disqus , why the fuck would anybody save Van Halen from drowning?

She's been great in everything I've ever seen her in.  So versatile.  As far as I can tell, she can do just about anything.

Wait, so you were eating dinner in a restaurant and then there was another restaurant directly behind you?  They really build restaurants that close together in Wilmington, North Carolina?  I bet you were like, "Aw man, I wish we had gone to that other restaurant behind us, Ken Marino and Tim Heidecker are in there!"

Mind. Blown.

Ya, that's vy dey send me, I am expert.

Oh, that was an episode of Diff'rent Strokes?  I thought I was watching a documentary about Larry Clark.

At first I read that as "Jackée Harry".

What about the substances that she abused?  Who speaks for them?  Who.  Speaks.  For.  Them?

Wings (1927) won the very first Academy Award for Best Picture.  That doesn't mean it doesn't suck, of course.

Nice.  Real mature.  Reeeal mature.

I don't know if it was the world's introduction to Zooey Deschanel, but Almost Famous was three years earlier.
