@teadoust, since I don't know how to properly respond on Disqus still, the Criss album is actually one of my favorite of the KISS solo records (Gene's album being the other one).  It's not remotely KISS-like and sounds more like some forgotten late-70s yacht-rock gem.  Still, even though his and Simmons' albums are…

Dead for now.  I forget who or where, but I heard a podcast with someone recently who had written for the new series and he said MTV had killed it for sure, but hinted that there were talks with "another network."  My guess is that the "other network" is Comedy Central, since they re-ran the new season in a marathon a…

Yes, yes he did.  I loved that movie as a kid, wonder if it's worth looking at now.

I believe it aired right after SNL here, but on the local CBS station.

I still regularly hear (of course) R&RAN and Detroit Rock City, but also Lick It Up and Beth.  I've also heard Christine pop up once in a while, and even Domino on one station.

Heh, I never would have thought of "Prince-y," but I see what you're getting at.  I actually think AJFA is the perfect gateway and it was my first Metallica album as well.  (Not because I was too cool though, just because I was a kid getting big into anything loud-and-heavy at the time it was released and the cover…

Nicholson sure got a lot whiter after this shot was filmed, didn't he?

Are talking about "Bubsy the Bobcat," star of a couple forgotten, pretty-crappy Sega Genesis and Super NES games?  Because I keep seeing this name pop up in context of furry stuff within the past week and I didn't even know anyone remembered Bubsy, let alone cared enough to make him the new sexual rage.

The original "Amazing Stories" Family Dog episode directed by Brad Bird is on Netflix.  Watched it for the first time since my VHS tape broke sometime in the early '90s and found it still holds up pretty well.  I don't recall the TV series version very well, just that I didn't ever think it was very good even as a…

I've got the Seinfeld DVDs and unfortunately, I'm pretty positive there's no complete "Jerry" on them.  I do believe, however, that the Curb Your Enthusiasm DVDs feature a full version of the Seinfeld "reunion show" they were working on.

Gah, why do people do that?  I don't even mean the stretching, I mean the whole "go buy a huge expensive widescreen TV and don't bother upgrading the cable" thing.  There's only one cable provider in my town and the upgrade to a HD box is maybe $5.  You can go buy a 60-inch TV, but you can't afford the $5 upgrade to…

I'm gonna come out and admit it… I didn't think "Bee Movie" was all that bad.  Maybe it's because I have no kids and thus almost never see the latest CGI crapfest (I only saw the first "Toy Story" in full for the first time last week), but I got stuck babysitting some kids and had to watch it and thought it was at…

I think she actually just avoided the whole question with an "I don't want to talk about that" or such, so I'm guessing the answer is that it's true.

I think my #1 choice would be a little 2005 "horror" (I..guess..) film called Super Hell, but nobody's seen it or heard of it and it was just some cheap direct-to-video self-funded thing, so it probably doesn't count on the "How did this happen?" level since there wasn't really anyone who could have told them no. …

Those were good times.  I always wondered why nobody else ever picked up the Letterman reruns after Trio folded, and especially why they've never tried to syndicate things like old episodes of Conan.  (I suspect the greed of the Carson estate is why his have never been syndicated - more money in selling $200 VHS…

I had a *lot* of movies throughout my school years.  My favorites though, are the science teacher who rented "Bio-Dome" when it was first released on video since she thought it would be a good way to learn about the eco-domes that were in the news around then.  It wasn't.  Also, a history teacher who got fired a…

RTV is the station that runs Movin' On (and they also show R66).  Love the theme song, but the show itself never seemed to have much going for it to me.

Is it wrong that I would actually kinda like to have a Brat?

Nah, I live in Joplin.  Cortese is still here.  He actually works at the Burger King now.

The one currently running where the baby is in one of those carrier things strapped to his mom and she's looking for something in various drawers.  She opens one drawer and the baby looks down in surprise and anger and says "Hey, that's my gerbil!  You told me he went to live on a farm!"
