That's how I feel about it every time I hear it. It's so damn driving and catchy and the vocals soar and the guitar rocks and the intro rules and…I don't care if it's a simple chord pattern or even if I can't understand half the lyrics. I just know the song makes me feel amazing and sometimes that is exactly why I

Stupid Smarch weather.

So would you say this is an early clue to the new direction?

Agreed on the appropriateness of the song. Great way to close the film.

Thanks for the correction. It definitely feels like a Joe Walsh song as opposed to an Eagles song, but I only knew The Long Run version and never checked the soundtrack. Learn something new every day! Thanks.

Technically, it's an Eagles song, although Joe Walsh is on lead vocals. I love that song so damn much, and it adds a bittersweet touch to the end of the movie that kicks my ass every time I see The Warriors.

Great, you forgot the damn batteries. How do you manage to remember to go to Taco Bell every night but not once stop by CVS to get a damn battery? And how many times do I have to tell you, I want the CHICKEN burrito!

I don't understand the anger/annoyance at the timeline with respect to DMX. It's a sitcom that has already made it clear it's not holding firm to the autobiography it was initially based on. If that means the fame of DMX has not yet reached Eddie, who cares? The DMX scenes were really sweet and, I thought, the best

As Martin implies in that line, Bradbury isn't the "hard science"-fiction writer that Asimov and others are. He is definitely more fantasy and Dandelion Wine is basically just pure fiction, really more of a nostalgic romance in terms of his description of childhood. If you haven't read it, it's definitely worth a

As someone who considers "Dandelion Wine" his favorite book (for over 30 years now), I absolutely love this comment.

I'm shocked how few people seem to know Harold Lloyd or his work considering how fantastic he is. I wasn't aware he shared some writers with Keaton, though that would make sense, considering their incredible attention to detail in their "gags." I need to go watch me some Harold Lloyd right now!

And then promoted to Captain Hook, of course. Followed by every musician's dream, a Major Hook.

Probably my favorite moment was the montage when they took on the ESPN phone center from across the lake. Man, the hijinks that ensued!

I have no idea what happened to McCall after that fight, and I don't want to google it in case it's really depressing. I remember Lewis in that fight standing on the other side of the ring not wanting to fight and the ref initially pressing him to engage, which Lewis refused to do. Surreal.

Let me amend that: middleweight and super-middleweight, pre-"Fat Tub of Goo" James Toney was a fun fighter to watch. When he went heavyweight, he was far less interesting to watch. Side note: he's still fighting! He fought 3 months ago and has a fight next month. Holy crap.

Spot on. He was an absolute beast when he was young, but he was also a really smart fighter because D'Amato trained him so well and schooled him in boxing history and strategy. When D'Amato died, so too did anyone's ability to really teach Tyson and he became less complete. If you watch his early fights, the guy

I was at a bachelor party watching that fight, and we all drew cards with possible results (e.g. Tyson wins by KO in 6th, Holyfield wins by decision, etc.) and one guy got, "Holyfield wins by DQ." He was so pissed he kept saying, "I got screwed." Of course, the fight ends with the bite, the dude wins the pool of

I know there have been blow-out heavyweight championship bouts (Tyson-Spinks, anyone?) but Lewis won in the most dominating way I've ever seen in what was supposed to be a very competitive fight when he destroyed Razor Ruddock. Ruddock dove in low for a jab in the first round, totally exposing his whole damn head,

James Toney was a beast.
