I don't know much about the play itself, but seeing the two of them onstage would have been pretty cool. I also found Les Miz both boring and physical torture to sit through since those Broadway theatres were built at a time when people my height were the equivalent of a 6'6" person now.

Ugh…I just remembered an episode where one of the daughters got caught playing drinking games at a slumber party, and then Cliff and Claire and even Rudy staged a phony drinking game to teach her a lesson.

It's from SCTV.

There's a lot of child abuse in King's early books. In his second, Salem's Lot, a woman gives her baby a black eye after she catches him smearing shit all over the wall of their trailer. It is full of child abuse. There's a section about a man who is sent to prison for murdering his stepson, which he was innocent of,…

Gregg Valentino is pretty hilarious in it.

Fun fact: The MAD magazine parody named him "Anus."

I was in New York at the same time, but I went to Les Miz instead. I should have gone to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman and John C. Reilly in Sam Shepard's True West (Hoffman and Reilly switched roles each night).

We all know that Boss Hogg just set him up because he wants to get the deed to the Duke family farm.

Dammit…oh well, you got dibs, fair and square.

It's not even ads. I can understand those. My gripe is when I open up a news story, say on CNN, and a video about the story starts autoplaying as I try to read the article. And sometimes, if I pause it, when I scroll down the screen, the video will pop up again to the side and start playing.

I prefer him as Liberace in a Christmas special where Orson Welles keeps fucking up "Good King Wenceslas" and first blames the audience and then leaves, taking an entire roast turkey with him.

All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.

It's a relatively rare occurrence on the AV Club so I'm not going to pick on them, but I switched off the video at the top right corner of the screen and still couldn't get the audio off, so I eventually just muted my sound.

I haven't seen Alicia Witt in anything in decades. I had a crush on her (she's pale and redheaded and freckly, so of course I did) since Mr. Holland's Opus.

That pissed me off, too.

Ha ha…the weather forecast predicts heavy thunderstorms in a matter of hours. Get bent, Lollapalooza.

Yo, come on, Paulie, don't get irregular or nothin'.

"Give In To Me" is the best track on the Dangerous album. I think it was released as a single in Europe. Slash plays on it.

Move!

This is what they play in Hell. Every day. Every hour.
