Love the Cramps. I don't think people realize how influential they are. They're literally like the Velvet Underground of trashy garage rock and psychobilly.

Yep. I immediately thought it was the best thing ever, so I showed it to my wife, and she was like, "Who's that supposed to be?"

Is there a Mrs. Dyle? If so, what does she think about candy corn?

Kinda sad that Sesame Street's parody is sharper and funnier than SNL's, but hardly surprising.

Yeah, maybe I missed something, but it didn't seem like Carrie's and Saul's plan was to specifically draw out this one guy. They just wanted Carrie to be marked as a burned agent who could easily be turned in order to draw out someone, the bigger the better. They just happened to luck out (possibly—we'll see, I…

Wait. . .so you're saying Garry Marshall isn't the devil?

"I even liked that Dick could feel the hotel breaking into his cracks towards the end."

I didn't like Kubrick's interpretation of the story either, at least in the fact that Nicholson's Jack Torrance projects "evil family-murdering psychopath" from the very start. Still, it's a great movie and Nicholson is iconic in it. Would it have been more to my liking story-wise if Jack Torrance had been portrayed…

That's what I came here to post. I don't think anything's ever scared me worse, in any movie before or since.

Another creepy use of "Hurdy Gurdy Man": Brian Cox driving around cruising for young boys in L.I.E.. Maybe it's just a creepy song.

Best Iron Man movie? The Avengers.

I still haven't seen 3 yet, but that was my suspicion. I didn't hate 2, so I'm sure I'll get some enjoyment out of it. By the way, if you are the real Jim DeRogatis (and why would you not be?), I read Let it Blurt and Kaleidoscope Eyes and enjoyed both.

Tony Stark goes golfing: "Give me a 3 iron, man."

Trailer looks good, but it concerns me a little that Steve Rogers' modern-looking gelled hair and sideburns make him look too much like a typical Chris Evans "'Sup, brah?"-type character. And no Joe Johnston? Boooo.

I cut Howard Morris a lot of slack because he was Ernest T. Bass, a regular on Your Show of Shows (Uncle Goopy!), and also a regular voice actor on various Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as The Flintstones, but yes, his Jughead is horrifying. Which is odd, because it basically sounds like every voice he ever did on The…

Yeah, when He-Man and Skeletor's "transformation" scenes are like four minutes long and are exactly the same every single goddamn time, even the dullest little kid should eventually get that sneaking suspicion, "Y'know, I think they're just trying to eat up time here."

Exactly. And the stuff based on already well-established properties (Tarzan, Lone Ranger, Zorro, Star Trek, Flash Gordon, etc.) tried to stay very close to the source material. I thought it was so cool how they incorporated a little of Burroughs' ape-language in Tarzan. I had a Tarzan book as a kid, and in the back…

I Don't Want to see any of those shows.

She was rounding up to the nearest half a hundred.

It's also weird to be watching Malcolm in the Middle and then have one of the network promos for their grindhouse fests or whatever come up where there's like naked people getting their heads chopped off.
