Man I miss sour cream and onion doritos. None of the modern flavors come close - sometimes I dream that they've been brought back. That and Quirst.

Exactly; was it the same show that lost to this both times? That's no run of the mill failure there.

Even after reading the full title, I was vaguely hoping this meant Bieber was maybe CGI'd into that movie has like Brandauer's mini-me or something.

Speaking of, when's the fourth Left Behind movie coming out? I need some closure!

The endless Galt speech is sort of worth it just for the hilarious excess, but to get there you have to endure some really cringeworthy sex, endless returns to the same simplistic points, rich-people-wanking and a world that feels like it has about 1000 people in it. If you ever really, really wanted to know what…

I thought trains were inherently socialist? They can only go on tracks that other people laid down to places the man decided were worth going to, the commuter ones are the kind of mass transit that freedom-lovers despise and the a menace to the livestock that provide the red-blooded bootstrappy types the beef they so…

Since humans Klingons can interbreed, logically, the differences are going to be pretty minor (to the point where calling them a different species is likely inappropriate). The differences would be puffed up for propaganda purposes sure, but biologically closer to humans than any other creature on Earth.

Old Dogs and New Drugs
I do wonder how much this is a real thing (be it Vito Corleone or this woman); that the old-timers have a kind of "not too much harm" mindset about their drug dealing ways, and how much an outsider's romanticism about a criminal mindset they'd rather not dig too deeply into? The idea that they…

Yeah, I agree about the lack of evidence. For a film about musicians (and it sure seems like none of those people really did anything else), there was so little music that it was hard to decide if BJM was actually as great as everyone kept saying (i.e., it really was a tragedy that he refused to allow himself to…

As a kid I just assumed it was the part you used, for, well, ramming.

I loved DiG in that while Anton was clearly bonkers (and the A&R reps who worshiped him basically defined hipster douchebag for all time), Taylor-Taylor was just enough of a schmuck that you were kinda forced to re-evaluate Anton in comparison.

That was awesome (thanks for the link)! Though in context the Chris Holmes part was even worse than the article made it seem.

Decline Pt II
One of those things that the cool people have apparently all seen, but somehow still isn't on DVD or legal streaming or whatever. I'm not expecting to ever see "The Day The Clown Cried" (though that would be pretty sweet), but WTF? Music rights? Shouldn't these be unusually inexpensive?

"Don't say revenge. Don't say revenge."
"Revenge."
"That's it; I'm outta here."
(sound of footsteps, slamming door)
(women checks off "Revenge")

@ManBearPig At my last job I had a co-worker who was actually really hot, but she had the Innsmouth Look something fierce. Eyes two sizes too big, round, wide and protuberant, and a small wide mouth that made you wonder if maybe she had some extra teeth in there. But somehow she pulled it off.

Chosen… to Lose!
Growing up, I always felt annoyed about how transparent the wish-fulfillment and masturbation the "chosen one" stories were. It was never "chosen to be the chief bureaucrat or the leader who has to spend his life using reason and logic to bring people who actually have legitimate gripes together" but…

Redo Small Wonder, only as an adult, living among attractive upscale white urban professionals, and she's really a killer nu-cylon-like alien vanguard trooper. This would also be the best thing on NBC.

It's like all the homoerotic Judas Priest songs that all the metalheads thought were just dirty and edgy (but oddly appealing in ways other band's lyrics weren't)… and it turns out that yeah, he was gay the whole time and he wasn't trying to be coy. Kind of kills the thrill for the masses of us who like our thrills…

I always loved the video where Beavis hyperventilates and doubles his IQ.

If they just finished 10 of 13, and now the word comes down that's it's really 10 of 10 and thanks everyone you can go home now, I really don't see any kind of super season-ending anything. Unless they were lucky enough (or prescient enough) to have a cliffhanger lead in to the last three (that we'll never see), but…
