If anything he needs to grow them out more. Those are some 16 year old sideburns he's got there. Simply pathetic.

The VH1 doc NY77 is also fantastic, though that's more of a broad snapshot of what NYC was like that year.

Comic books have one foot in high fantasy and the other in sci-fi, so you can't really avoid having magic crop up. I agree that DC has a lazier approach to magic than Marvel (which has a system of deities backing everything up, more or less) but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. Just take it with a grain of salt…

Aside from the eyes (which are a little creepy) I thought it was pretty good.

Letterman used to have some input on what guests got booked but I have no idea how much he does these days. Tom Waits has been on the show for every album he's released since at least Swordfishtrombones, so I give Letterman a lot of points for that alone.

Letterman used to have great musical guests, at least. I'd love his show if that little bald man didn't keep chiming in with his little 'quips'.

Difference in ambition. We expect more out of a Leonard Cohen album because he's attempting to do more. Timberlake and Timbaland generally accomplish the exact thing they set out to do (make people dance, maybe do some cool vocal hooks), so they deserve praise for it. You can't critique a pretty boy for looking…

Sounds like a challenge to me.

Juno's one of the only movies I've watched that I absolutely fucking hate, along with Dreamcatcher. That movie has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Every aspect of it is horrible. Even the font used int he credits is shit. I want that fucking thing wiped off the face of the Earth in a glorious scathefire.

2.6e+10 shakes?

@avclub-6a39664e3119f973f6f230fb66f4c0a5:disqus To be fair, they later retconned that as Sue being influenced by a psychic entity called Malice, a left-over (I think) from when she was being controlled by Psycho-Man. Malice later took over the body of the temporally displaced, teenaged Franklin Richards, and proceeded…

I was always more of a Backstreet Boys fan, personally.

Apparently he really wanted to but they weren't able to coordinate it. He thought the whole thing was hilarious.

Mic Jagger's a frighteningly good actor too, though he's been in far less. Some guys just get all the luck.

Ray Manzarek? I doubt it.

Which show had the AgroCrag? GUTS? That one always seemed like the most bullshit to me as a kid. Had a pretty entertaining SNES game for it, though.

Capri Sun turns you into Alex Mack so I'd consider that a pretty good deal.

The article sounds a bit fussy, to be honest. I don't care if they were kids, people on a game show should have to work for their prize/victory. A 25% victory rate seems pretty damn reasonable to me, provided there's some kind of consolation prize for the kids that prove themselves unworthy.

"Nothing" is classical English slang for sex, thus reinforcing the notion that romantic congress in the Elizabethan era wasn't exactly thrilling.

Me and my friends still use the tagline for The Cave as a running joke. We have never seen the movie and never will, but damn if that isn't a good tagline.
