Love that Tim McGraw cover.

They billed themselves as "The City Too Busy To Hate" back in the '60s to differentiate the city from Birmingham and the like. Not entirely true, but again, the attempt was there.

They film everything in Atlanta now. Doubtful it would have been set there if it hadn't been filmed there.

Is anything more embarrassing than the Daniel Craig interview where it slowly became apparent all of Mira's clothes are something Bond wears/has worn? And he revealed it in such a creepy "I WANT TO BE YOU" way, I fully expect that Craig asked his bodyguard to stay extra close when he left. Even Hardwick seemed to

In some ways, they're better than they used to be. I remember the first year or two every podcast devolved into a riff fest between the three hosts. Sometimes the guest was involved but usually the guest was left out in the cold. I actually didn't listen (or only very occasionally) for a few years and only recently

I always find him charming and interesting in interviews and on his radio show. He's clearly got some anger issues (although when the press is involved, not sure you can really blame him, but he obviously takes it to another level). He seems to quickly revert back to a Long Island teen who just had his mother insulted.

I remember playing it at a Blockbuster where they had a demo. It was Mario Tennis. I'm pretty sure it was broken cause it just looked like an SNES game filtered red.

Once I heard he was inspired by a taped Mike Leigh play I started to get what he was going for. I think I'll wait till he sells it to one of the streaming services.

That terrible James L Brooks movie is not a great one to go out on.

Stephen King? Is that you?

CK said he'd recently met Nicholson at Lorne Michaels' house, so it doesn't sound like he's a medicated recluse or anything.

This is the first time I've ever pointed out a copyediting mistake in my life but it's a pet peeve: "jive" should be "jibe."

Pshaw. No one does that on the internet.

It has a lot of great lines and McBride's comedy style is fully formed, but I think it's just a little too amateurish (and not in a charming way) to be a lost classic. The other actors aren't really up to the challenge (except for Jody Hill) and it's a little slow, but as a proto-Eastbound, it's well worth a watch.

It's a line in the movie, but that was wonderful too.

The full legal language is "I CLAIM NO COPYWRITES TO THIS FILM" and presto, you're completely indemnified by Google.

You guys ever had sex?

Am I crazy or was that last scene with Jake in witness protection picking up the newspaper a direct homage to Goodfellas?

"Sir, have I told you the time I appealed my NC-17 rating to the MPAA?" "Sir, I can't recall."
"Kevin, who are you talking to?"
"No one." *long toke from bong*

Between Baby's Day Out, Home Alone 1-3, Flubber, 101 Dalmatians, and Dennis the Menace (I'm sure I'm forgetting some), I have to wonder if Hughes wasn't just trying to pile up money with one eye trained on the exit door and saw these formulaic "cute _____ outsmarts small-time criminals" scripts as his way out.
