It's kind of odd that Oz doesn't seem to remember that "The Muppet Movie" is "false history", what with Kermit coming from a swamp and travelling cross country to Hollywood and meeting various other Muppets on the way, or that in "The Great Muppet Caper" Kermit and Fozzie are brothers, or that in "The Muppets Take

Yes, the "weird" guests tended to have the best interaction with the Muppets.
Though Kris Kristofferson seemed to vacillate between being charmed by them, and completely horrified. I wonder what he thought he was seeing…lol.

It might be easy…aaand I decided to stop typing right there.

I said "FUCK him!".  Whaddya want me to do, FUCK him?

Yeah - silly as it is, I remember thinking "Wow, that's Donna's saint father and Laura's crazy mother from Twin Peaks - what a terrible match!"

Yes, if you have to watch a Friday the 13th movie, Part 2 is better.  It's been pointed out many times that it's basically a remake of Friday the 13th, but with better production values.  And without the "who the hell's that" murderer revealed in the last 10 minutes.

@avclub-0e1b703e310abf1b3932abf6806f9c39:disqus Who shot who in the what now?

Shiny, with big shoulders and deep voices, yet strangely vulnerable to malfunction; a combination I find strangely alluring still today.

I have to say, I agree.  The old Cylons were the best thing about the mostly mediocre show.

I'm sorry, Bryan, but he's right.

Will it really?  He seemed pretty game when he guest-starred on Graham Norton's show awhile ago.  I don't know what he said about Starbuck being female on SyFy, though.

I think the connection is most evident between "Twitch of the Death Nerve" and "Friday the 13th" - "Twitch", for instance, has the same graphic "arrow-through-the-chest-from-behind" murder that was so shocking in "Friday the 13th".  It's the graphic nature of the murders themselves in the gialli that most informed the

Come to think of it, it was one of the only gialli my friend liked (I was watching a lot from Netflix, as we all probably were in the early 2000's).  I think that was why - the lighter qualities.  He also liked Sleepaway Camp, though he kept saying what terrible counselors they were…

I thought George eating an eclair out of the garbage was actually one of the most - gosh, not NORMAL, but somehow…to me, it was, perversely, somewhat admirable.  There was nothing wrong with that eclair, so why waste it?

I remember really not liking it all all at the time.  Now, it's ok.

AAAAAAAAhahahahahaha!!!

No, the idea is that it's literally all in his mind after the hospital.  There's no Judy, there's no remaking her into Madeline, there's no second trip to the tower, no almost letter, no nothing except him trying to make sense out of what happened.
Basically, he's catatonic in the hospital,

re: "Vertigo" - there's a theory I've read that everything that happens in the movie after the scene where Jonny/Scotty/Ferguson is in the hospital is happening in his mind, that he's basically doomed to repeatedly "fixing" or "figuring out" what happened to him, only to have it end the same.  It isn't necessary,

Oh, I don't know.  My Sam the Eagle figure on my desk is giving me a very stern look, I don't think we probably should.

Well, bears DO wear hats.  Piggy water ballet!
