hey now
I know you're totally kidding but it is unfair to chalk Hanson up to Iowa, even in jest. Iowa totally did not do that to America. (Okay, it _did_ bring us Slipknot, and it claimed the souls of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, but isn't that enough?)

I dunno, his Bobby McGee in "Two-Lane Blacktop", and Make It Through The Night in "Fat City"… in both cases, it's probably the movies doing the heavy lifting, but those songs do work in a male voice. I wouldn't put a female one in either film, anyway. Great songs.

hrm
The "no kidding" after academic papers strikes me as a bit naive. At least, I always assume that any crappy TV or movie from the 70s or 80s has more than one graduate level dissertation written on some aspect of it, and maybe ten times as many undergrad papers. Like I just know that in some university library,…

IMHO Dennis Price was the badass in "Kind Hearts"—- unless getting murdered a bunch of times is badass, which I guess it kind of is, now that I think about it.

KLAUS KINSKI
in anything, but maybe for the sake of definiteness, as Aguirre (in the wrath of same), or as Loco (in Il Grande Silenzio)

Don't forget bacon. These stupid internet things always come with bacon. Yes, I'm aware that it is probably on some of the sandwiches. I don't care.

so
did Suge set him up, or didn't he? Does the book take a side on that?

He occasionally lapses into Mitch Hedberg's delivery style. He's funny, but that's pretty distracting.

YOU end in a point. YOU end in a point.

Haha, yeah, those shitty subtitles! I'd completely forgotten about them until I read this comment, then it all came back. Criterion must've found a print without them. I recall using my Spanish to get the gist of what was going on and trying the subtitles only when necessary. Worked better than trying to read the…

I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.

I tried a whole season of this on my sister's recommendation and hated every minute of it. It's sad when you can't trust your own family.

My favorite moment in the rifftrax for 'Battlefield Earth' is when they've captured a bunch of man-animals and are whipping them and spraying them with hoses and one of the guys says "you run, you slide, you hit the bump, and take a dive!" Mainly because I hadn't thought about Crocodile Mile in 20 years, and just…

When people who aren't my closest friends try to get to see something new that I know I won't like, I just lie about having already seen it and give vague, noncommittal opinions about it so I am not on the hook for anything later. Like if it's an action movie you say it is OK, "not great art," or "not as good as…

wow
It's amazing what a little French can do. "Les Canons De Navarone" almost sounds like a good movie. I wonder if "L'ouragan vient de Navarone" is even better.

Yeah, Cagney wasn't fat or big. He had a wide face, maybe slightly out of proportion with the rest of his frame (he was 5'6"). He definitely played big, though. Knew what to do with a grapefruit.

Teen Witch is better than both of those movies back to back

laughing out loud
There's something very delightful about the sentence "Th13teen Ghosts was crap." Never heard of the movie, but that title… I laughed out loud.

haha
Couldn't quite picture the "sole dab of originality" from the description in the review, so I headed over to Youtube and watched a "trailer" for the game there. I assume it's the thing they show over and over in that. The novelty wears off within 30 seconds of watching it on video; I'm sure it becomes…

god said "ha"
Conspicuous by its omission. Or maybe not, given that most of the things on the list involve some other art form (e.g. film or music or fiction) and not just talking about cancer, perhaps it should be on a different list.
