Three words: The Buttercream Gang. If ever a movie cried out for a cult following a la The Room. . .

I'm just trying to pay it forward!

Back in 7th grade, I somehow talked my favorite ever teacher into showing our english class the Quay Brothers' nightmarish masterpiece of surreal stop-motion animation Street of Crocodiles; thank you again, Mrs. Pinz!

Where's the love for Subliminal? That might be my favorite track off JH; to me it's the closest thing TMBG ever released to a Pixies/Smashing Pumpkins/shoegaze type song - I just love the fuzzed-out guitar and accordion combination.

I find myself singing Extra Savoir-Faire in the shower or in my head while out and about constantly.

I would never have thought of this song as frightening; now, terribly, heart-rending sad yes - it brought me to tears when I heard it just after Sandy Hook.

Really, the willies? It's such a catchy tune - sure, it might be describing a shooting rampage - but it sounds so upbeat and jaunty!

If Ash were a middle aged cop who'd stopped giving a crap a long time ago, he'd be Tom Atkins in Night of the Creeps.

No more days til Halloween,Halloween, Halloween! No more days til Halloween! Silver Shamrock!

"The real world isn't a very nice place, is it, my dear?"

Not enough discussion of Halloween 3 - far, far from a good movie, but also quite entertaining in its own way. It really only works thanks to Tom Atkins' lead performance as the beefy drunken doctor/deadbeat dad; it's like having Joe Don Baker's Mitchell as a horror movie hero.

-"ANYBODY HOME?!" :Elizabeth Pena's quick close-up transformation to black-pupiled demon in Jacob's Ladder.
-"Meanwhile. . ." from the Twin Peaks finale.
- Slow motion ghost walking and not quite falling from Pulse.
- The ending of Seconds; Rock Hudson thrashing helplessly around.
-Danny riding his trike from wood floor…

That's right, give it up for M.R. James!

I'm pretty sure it's been brought up already, but every time I watch this episode I am amazed that the murder of Maddy was shown on primetime basic cable over 20 years ago. I mean, if that aired today, I can't see it showing up on any channel other AMC or FX; Breaking Bad and the like have shown more graphic…

Well, remember I didn't claim it was Blazing Saddles - just that it was funnier than any given episode of Big Bang Theory; but then, pretty much everything, save documentary footage of war atrocities, is funnier than BBT.

I would rather watch Andy Warhol's Sleep in its entirety than view a single episode of  BBT; it's a lot funnier and has much better writing.

Well obviously, the being we on earth know as 'Tom Waits' is simply the manifestation of a multi-dimensional entity beyond the comprehension of mortal minds; here amongst us to investigate and explore our culture. Previous incarnations have been known as 'Coyote', 'Robin Goodfellow', and 'Groucho Marx'.

Hopefully that wasn't ageist; joyless uptight curmudgeons come in all shapes and sizes, and transcend the barriers of time and space.

On the plus side, it comes on pretty late, and by that time the nurses have wheeled everyone out of the activity room and helped them into bed, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Those folks could all learn a thing from the likes of Adam Sandler and Kevin James and Seth McFarlane; now there's some fellows with a can-do, roll-up-their-sleeves attitude towards their profession.
