Paradise (1982)
Anyone remember that (really, really terrible) Blue Lagoon ripoff called Paradise? The movie that offered the world the most horrifying three words in the English language—"starring Willie Aames"—and the most wonderful—"Phoebe Cates naked"?

My mom and her unfathomable predilection for Don Johnson would have something to say about that.

His father?
Devon's father gave him that nickname? I assumed it was Chuck and Morgan. Is that really part of the show's canon?

Believe me, when it came to Buffy and W/T, I proselytized vigorously to my sapphic sisters. (I can't believe I just typed that.) I used pretty much your exact phrasing: "It's the first long-term lesbian relationship on American network TV!" But as among the general populace, most of them just weren't interested in

Ooh!
Do I get to be the official representative of the "lesbian community" here?

"Girls are taught (or just inately know) not to be so openly sexual in public"

He also really liked Stu Nahan's jacket.

1989?
You mean 1979. I worked at a record store in '89, and the only people buying vinyl were Filipino DJs and college kids looking for imports.

I, for one
…am waiting with bated breath to hear what Candy Clark has to say.

I need to know
Which draculas will be in this movie. Pee-wee dracula? Ladyhawke dracula? I hope that caveman dracula and Billy Idol dracula from the TV show aren't in it.

All boners are funny.

My first thought was, hey, it's Dr. Auschlander!

Chuck is pretty shameless about most of its elements—the constant Sarah cheesecake, for example. It's actually a big part of why I like the show.

Ooh, I'll second the nomination of Kari Byron. She's never done any actual acting though, has she?

The Sarah-in-a-car scene definitely struck me as a homage to Bond.

Hey, can this be the official thread for people whose usernames are [somebody]'s [something]?

The first one is Bowie, the second one is Bush, right?

"Chilly Down" is my favorite Labyrinth song. And I have nothing to say about Bowie's little goblin.

Want an axe to break the ice
"Ashes to Ashes" might be my favorite Bowie song. A friend's band does a stripped-down acoustic version of it, and without the wacky production (not to mention the insane video) you realize what a gorgeous song it is.

Bowie's rockingest tune is "Suffragette City". And the guitarist in my band never tires of telling me how Bowie offered it to Mott the Hoople, and they turned it down.
