I actually owe a debt to Jack Chick. One of his tracts on Mormonism helped spark my eventual disillusionment with all organized religion. It spelled out exactly how batshit crazy Mormonism is when viewed outside of the Vaseline-smeared lens of membership; but at the same time, it showed how hypocritical it was for a…

Oh wow, I loved Only the Lonely.

Candy sold the absolute hell out of it, though. That ending, and the moment in Uncle Buck when he's in the car with the kids getting ready to go to the track and then realizes what he's doing, were revelations for me when I thought he was only a comic actor.

"I like… I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get."

It's the pleather. It'll get you desperate and sweaty every time.

Weird stitch-like marks around the middle of both thumbs that you cannot unsee once you see them for the first time.

Yeah - when they switched head writers recently, they seem to have ditched the whole smirking, obvious bro-comedy they've been coasting on for too long. Weird works.

…but Mormons will also vote for Prop 8 at the behest of their leaders, because personal principles are secondary to the word from the Lord's anointed.

…or the band could play "Little Lies."

Well, I haven't seen The Times of Harvey Milk or the entirety of Mrs. Soffel, but my god, man, if you haven't seen Never Cry Wolf, you are seriously missing out. Most people remember it as the first-ever release from Walt Disney Pictures and the first-ever Disney movie with nudity (a brief butt shot of Charles Martin…

The live versions of "Rendez-Vous IV" and "Revolutions" are two of my favorite songs of all time.

Let's not forget that Isham's score for Point Break is one of the main reasons why that movie worked as well as it did.

It's interesting that Windham Hill and Narada don't make a bigger appearance on this list. Coming out of high school uncertain of my musical tastes - I loved all genres of music and couldn't pigeonhole myself socially in with the preppies, the metalheads, the nascent goths, or the burgeoning grunge groups - the…

Calling out a guy the color of mom's spaghetti… Eminem contains multitudes.
