I never got the invite.
There's a Vegas Vacation? The first one is a classic? People watch the Christmas Vacation every holiday season?

The nex movie by
Rob Zombie I don't see: The Blob. Part of an ever growing list.

How nice of Weezer
to try their damndest to sound like Blink 182 with acoustic guitars. Speed this up 5-10 beats per minute and there would be no difference at all.

Two, Bear, and Epilogue are definitely great songs. Frankly, I can leave the rest of the album aside. Too much of it wanders into ambient mush that has no clear destination. While quiet vocals partly constitute the disc's mood (so some would argue, I guess), it leaves me annoyed, waiting for the endless loop dully…

This could be cool. I don't want it to go so far, though, that there are tracks featuring a fat, old, and angry Kerouac drunkenly yelling at well-meaning hippies who show up at his door.

Am now staking my fortune on Thriller-zombie-MJ black light posters for this Halloween. Thanks for the inspiration, littlealex!

I had a Mad subscription all throughout the eighties. The Lighter Side of never really caught my attention. The jokes were predictable, and the art was so outdated. Was it not possible to draw characters who dressed in a contemporary way? Everything looked like it came out of a Brady Bunch-style, wood paneled home.

Harry Alan Towers
That guy could've made a whole saga out of his life adventures. Life could've really imitated B-level art.

My Head Just Exploded
The movie receives a B which is well defended in the review. AND the Baroness is hawt in the photo! Good thing I'm not asthmatic or I'd be wheezing into my inhaler about now.

I need to use "interesting" more in my posts. Crap.

Interesting that
the people who made this movie felt that Child's life wasn't interesting enough to constitute a film on its own. I could skip the blogger scenes and the whole film entirely by just hitting YouTube for clips of the original show apparently.

Can't wait
for this to come out on DVD because it has 0% chance to hit my culturally bass-ackward town.

Two Kinds of People
In 1986, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Top Gun came out at the same time. Which film you preferred basically went miles in defining your future personality.

Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics. …

To see the glass half full
It makes for a fine excuse to revisit the Bill Hicks bit shredding Leno down to the no-talent, Doritos shilling hack he is.

I think "archaic" aptly describes the vocabulary from Blood Meridian. Making language new is not how the prose struck me, though. In a book dedicated to dealing with death as the ultimate, purest, and oldest expression of man's will, I am left without an alternative type of diction to suggest that would have conveyed…

No Country for Old Men, in the simplicity of its prose, abuses the poor conjunction "and" to a point where it is a relief to see two separate sentences not turned into a compound phrase.

American Pastoral is pure genius. Roth lets the existential crisis build to a point of no possible resolution that no reader can probably finish it without looking back at his or her own life with trepidation.

Joel McHale and the folks at The Soup must be a bit sad about losing such a wonderful source of material.

I just got it. Definitely more like an early 70's Neil Young vibe than an out-and-out country album.
