I enjoyed the softcore porn spoof, The Bare Wench Project.

I've considered that, but no one in the band has ever revealed a deep abiding love of Calvin & Hobbes. As much as I'd like to think that's the inspiration for the name, it's really just circumstantial evidence.

I've always liked the name because I think it holds a certain mystique. It sounds like someone's hiding a lot of juicy information. What events did this so-called incident entail? What act involving easily peelable logs of dairy was so unspeakable that it must now forever be referred to in hushed tones as "the string…

I'd agree with this. I laughed raucously at Borat when I saw it in the theater, then did a near-180 after I stopped to think about what I'd just laughed at. It is disconcerting how little he cares about people beyond their most abhorrent beliefs. Despite the fact that the common folk in his movies are revealing dark…

Much love for Snider. Incidentally I became a fan of his after seeing a thoroughly eviscerating quote on RT (can't remember what movie though). That man knows how to write a bash review. His "In the Dark" newsletter is a weekly treat in my inbox. I highly recommend subscribing to it.

As for me
My first job was in a pizza place. I started there when it opened as one of its original staffers and was let go when the owners shut it down nine months later.

A MacGyver parody
Timely!

Also it was produced by Savage Steve Holland, who did Eek! the Cat, which is some pretty top-notch TV pedigree in my "I grew up in the 90s" book.

Neat how it kind of came full circle Nickelodeon-style with Larisa Oleynik playing the younger sister in the movie and now Shaw playing Kat on the show.

Whenever I encounter a machine with a sign indicating it isn't working, I almost always say, "Out of order! Fuck! Even in the future nothing works!"

Is that DVD release the one with the "Mr. DVD" menu screen? I always thought that was cute.

"Sly" by The Cat Empire
Caught these on Craig Ferguson around the time of Two Shoes' North American release. Considering that Seth MacFarlane was the second interview guest on that show, I may have been watching just to hear him talk in that dulcet Brian voice. If I could have sex with that voice … oh man.

I remember being disproportionately proud of myself for composing "Mouna Bowa" by Jean-Luc Ponty on my old TracFone.

Four Breathers?
You sure about that one, Nabin?

Actually I heard it here like eighth or ninth

I think it'll add some excitement. Say a movie that is really good that everyone is pulling for wins. It'll be that much more satisfying to see it beat out nine other nominees rather than just four.

Don't forget John Candy
He appeared posthumously in Canadian Bacon, and that was a mess for sure. Didn't fare any better on last film living either (Wagons East).

All I remember about the Hardy Boys books is that one or the other of them was always getting hit in the "solar plexus".

It's not exactly baffling since it is a common pronunciation, but I've always said Mah-rio myself, so yeah, I always feel a bit of cognitive dissonance there.

I see Samantha Mathis in something about once every three or four years and wonder why her career never turned out better than it did, since she's obviously very pretty and talented. I seem to recall she was in Broken Arrow with Christian Slater and John Travolta? Don't remember anything about that movie except some…
