I so distrust it when people tell me "Oh, you should watch so-and-so, you'd like it, since you like such-and-such!".  Believe me, if it's something I'd like, I'd already be watching it.

Holy crap…literally everyone I know likes "Modern Family".  I've given it more than one chance, and each time I just come away befuddled by its appeal.  At least it's positioned at a time which makes it easy to get the same people to give "The Middle" a chance.

A good movie really does reveal more of itself as you watch it at different times in your life.  Definitely…and this is a perfect example.

Yup - I can even picture the cover - looks like red leatherette, with "Jim Reeves & Patsy Cline - Remembering", I think.  It had those two "duets" and the rest were solo hits for each of the singers.  There was a resurgence of interest in Patsy Cline after "Coal Miner's Daughter", and this was one of the results, I…

It seems that everything is usually older than you think, doesn't it.  I believe these two "duets" were mashed together in the late '70s.  "Have You Ever Been Lonely" got a lot of radio play.

Just FYI, Reeves and Cline never actually worked together.  They recorded for different labels, different producers (Chet Atkins for Reeves, Owen Bradley for Cline), etc..  They did record some of the same songs, and the tracks for "I Fall To Pieces" and "Have You Ever Been Lonely" were combined into popular…

RIP, Gentleman Jim.

Just watched this again…damn.

I was lucky enough to get a soda accidentally dumped on me during THOR, so I didn't feel obligated to stay AND I got my money back.  It was a good day.

I prefer suppository form.

Boys love candy.

Please, I was already not seeing it in 2D.  PLEASE!

In a Vanity Fair interview/cover story on her in the 90s, he starts off by saying that in person she was so beautiful that his natural reaction was to laugh when he looked right at her.  Probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen…

I never did.  I did enjoy the heck out of Franco at one time, though.

Really?  I thought it was pretty terrific.

Why can't that be the first choice?

See what I mean?  I feel better and better!  Hair wins!

David Cross at least waits to slag what he does until AFTER he's done it, which isn't so bad.  Doing an admittedly crappy job crappily "in protest" makes a different kind of point, which is "I'm so cool I don't have to even be professional if I don't want to be".

You assume correctly - the campaign was made for the California Raisin Board.  And somehow it took off, WAY off, on its own.

I have to agree.  "I'm too cool to be doing this thing that I'm doing" doesn't really seem a respectable/mature response to doing something you don't want to do.  Unless you're actually in prison and being forced to build a bridge or something.
