Paul Schneider
I know everyone's busy arguing about Olivia Munn, but what about Schneider? This guy had a real career ahead of him even as recently as a couple of years ago. He supposedly left Parks & Rec to pursue movie projects, and this and his bookender role in Water for Elephants is the best he can do? I think

Kevin Heffernan directed Slammin Salmon
Jus' sayin

I have to agree that Jay & Silent Bob is the only one that I will stop and watch if it's on TV (unedited, naturally). It's got some terrible parts but it also has parts that make me laugh out loud, and it's the one film where you can look past the bad casting, acting and distracting cameos, cause it's all part of the

Declining? I think it done declined around the time they decided to show Halloween IV every day for six years.

I didn't like that song much before its use in Boogie Nights, but now I love it. Too bad I can't seem to find that scene on the YouTubes.

Roth is more "skiddlybiddlybop!" Kiedis is more "skip dibby dib a dibba dibby slip dip dib da dibby dibby dibby". See the difference?

I think Kiedis is worse than Kroeger or Durst, mainly because he seems to think he's got something to say. He wrote a book and shit. I don't think Durst has any delusions about being a poet.

Maybe a song or two about a girl from a southern state?

Aerosmith was a great band until the '80s happened. Most of the bands listed wouldn't be that bad if they weren't played 10,000 times an hour on every radio station everywhere (not Creed, they'd still suck).

Big Daddy anyone? No? Good then.

If the nostalgia porn you're after is Cameron Diaz when she was insanely hot and non-skeletal, The Mask works perfectly.

DO NOT GO IN THERE….WHOOOOOOOOO!

I was 14, it was 1997…should I have gone for Angelfire?

That's true. Though I think Klosterman makes good, fun to read arguments about, say, Billy Joel being better than Springsteen. I don't buy it for a minute and I doubt he does either, but it's interesting reading. I think of Klosterman sort of as the Bill Simmons of music critics (even though he's not really a critic

No, wait, Teaching Mrs. Tingle was when I lost interest. Horrible, horrible movie. Made me reassess how brilliant he really was. Turns out probably not very.

Kevin Williamson
It's now okay to admit you liked Kevin Williamson? Cause it might be a good time to admit that I had a geocities fansite for Williamson back in the late '90s. After he left Dawson's Creek and slowed down his output, I lost interest, but '96-'00, the man was my artistic idol.

I live in Nashville and share my password with my parents. Come n' git me, gummint! *shoots shotgun* YEEEEEEEEE-HAW! *plucks banjo*

I don't listen to these guys much anymore because of things like this. Seldom do they see the point in a critical reassessment of artists. They pretty much go with what they thought when they were 18. I don't really take them seriously anymore, if I ever did.

Bford — I think that's why American Graffiti is interesting. Lucas focused no the time just prior to when things got ugly for people just leaving high school. We have The Wonder Years and Forrest Gump for '67 and onward. The dread is in the back of the audience's minds, cause they all know what would happen just a few

"That said, it's important to keep in mind how much really did change in American culture between the time "American Graffiti" was set and the time it was made. I hate the Baby Boomer generation as much as anyone, but some serious shit really did go down in the '60s."
Yep.
