Posh first? Oh come on - she was an also-ran until becoming Mrs. David Beckham.

Looking for Stephen King titles in our mall B. Dalton (where I preordered my copy of IT), and then wandering down to Waldenbooks if they didn't have anything of interest, was such a part of my early-teens routine. Thank goodness our local Barned and Noble still does well. I just miss going into shops and looking…

Meanwhile Woods himself wanted no part of the racial discussion. His play alone expanded interest into the black community but he firmly denied being any sort of role model for black kids.

That may be the most Oregonian thing I've ever read.

Just the one location, or the entire chain?

At least you weren't deprived of cartoons.

Nice! My favorite pizza place. Where?

Ah yes, Marissa Tomei's less-successful sister.

I've tried redbox twice and both times the discs were so fucked up they wouldn't play. Between on demand, Netflix and Amazon Prime it's not like I need them anymore, but still.

My now-wife had a couple of mouth-breathing roommates who watched The Real World marathons every weekend. At the time I couldn't believe anyone would subject themselves to that kind of idiocy. Guess that's why I'm not in television.

The vocals on Wannabe are full-on terrible. What's even funnier is the future Mrs. Beckham was a complete afterthought and basically stashed in the back of their video formations. Guess she got the last laugh.

Once upon a time Mello Yello was the competitor to Mountain Dew distributed by Coke. They seem to have mostly let that brand die, though I occasionally see it in small towns. I always thought it was superior to MD.

You can give any small kid a half-hour lecture on not going anywhere with strangers, then ask what they would do if a man approached and asked them to help find his puppy. "I would say yes, because it's good to help people."

Those 2000s albums all were hit delivery vehicles with 2/3 filler. I can't even remember which singles were on which albums, never mind any of the secondary album tracks.

Which is funny because his is the weakest performance in the film. He suffered from the same thing that dragged down a number of his others; just too damned baby-faced. He didn't seem like a believable adult until probably The Departed. MAYBE The Aviator.

Yeah, which meant you had to watch the video store version with half a dozen trailers. Grr.

I miss those massive, slope-floored theaters. We sneaked some beer into one in high school and my friend dropped his from about 2/3 of the way back, making an entirely recognizable sound as it rolled to the front. Got a pretty good laugh out of the small crowd.

I think the only Oasis I have anymore is the double-album Live at Wembley Stadium, which is basically a greatest hits. It is also very loud.

Other than changing it so Han doesn't shoot first, the edits were just unnecessary opportunities for Lucas to show off a little (bad) CGI. Just a waste of time in general.

Exactly right. I have that set, which is the only reason I still own a DVD/VCR combo, and no idea that the "one last time" thing was a looming threat about the retconning of the films. There's a three-part interview with Lucas that spans the set and he comes off as such a smug, pompous ass that we should have known…
