Well, to be honest, the only one that I still listen to multiple times a year is Murmur. But it's amazing that those were the first group of albums I got into as a kid and they are all excellent.

So, if I understand you correctly, Rob Schneider thinks his humor is too smart for me? Or was he saying that audiences are stupid and he's just giving them what they want?

My concern is the opposite: that I may suddenly feel sympathetic towards Rob Schneider.

Yep, exactly right. He's great in everything he's in, and this is a fantastic Random Roles.

Sam Goody! Likely the first and last place I bought something on cassette.

So many albums from 1983 that I discovered then still hold up incredibly well: Murmur, War, Synchronicity, Speaking in Tongues, Thriller (late 82 but still counts) and a bunch more.

I was thinking Pyromania when I saw this. People can knock Def Leppard all they want, but I could have done a lot worse at 7 years old.

That's truly awful. Best of luck to your uncle's friend in recovery.

Tuco tight!

And my hopes for a NKOTB "Hanging Tough" jockstrap are dashed once again.

Southie Art is the new Outsider Art.

The problem with doing a thing is that it inevitably involves some degree of shame.

I think that's true of anyone who's seen that film. It's sort of like the way Rob Lowe has permanently changed how I hear the word "literally" in my head.

That brief shot where he's handcuffed to a treadmill is a lovely joke about both L.A. and 1980s exercise fads.

To each his own, but there are at least three WKW films better: In the Mood for Love, 2046, and Happy Together.

That quote seems misplaced in the review, like a weird edit happened…

I'm slightly more interested in this, and only really in IMAX because of the visuals and design. Tron Legacy was idiotic, but it had a really impressive sense of scale and that seems true for this based on the trailers and the review here.

"S'cuse me sir, a what?"

True, but what's truly astounding about the lawsuit is that either Hollywood or Brooks himself thought that he would actually be a movie star.

His performance in Trust is really fantastic. I love the anger in it, and it's interesting that this aspect was less a choice than a reaction to Hartley's direction.
