You can definitely feel Spielberg's touch on the Freeling's home in Poltergeist.

When?

Finally, the Jack of Hearts show we've all been waiting for!

I'm not going to make any remarks about his age or drugs, just want to say that I'm actually looking forward to this album. Talk Is Cheap is just plain great rock 'n' roll (Mick wishes any of his solo stuff hit as high a mark) and Main Offender has its moments.

Crap! Boobs! Crap!

This is why I started to turn on the show. A pretty decent first season built to a heroic battle climax that never occurred and it never recovered from that mistake.

Hmm, you took me literally and stumped me. Let's see:
1. sandwiches
2. booze
3. cartoons
4. trees
5. nudity
Sorry if I disappointed. Do you have a top 5 things list?

I had an Al Bundy hmm-hmm-him thing once, singing "dooo doo…awooo" to people for years trying to locate a song. One day, through the magic of Pandora, I finally discover it was A-ha's "Cry Wolf". Then I downloaded the song and now rarely play it. I guess the magic was in the hunt.

My favorite PG soundtrack songs (where he has just one song not previously released and not the whole soundtrack like Passion, Birdy, or The Long Walk Home):

"Out Out". Not his best but it didn't stop me from buying the vinyl.
"Walk Through the Fire" off of Against All Odds is a bit better from
roughly the same period.

"Into the Groove"?

I like the film but I feel its weak link is a miscast Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene. Her voice is nice enough but she lacks screen charisma.

Yeah, I kinda love that film. It should, by all rights, be too cute for its own sake but it just works.

I say Dan Connor (because we all know to throw out season 9 when they betrayed the character) and Sgt. Elias from Platoon.

This comment made me go watch the clip from the '68 comeback special and that was definitely the highlight of my morning. So, thanks!

ScottyRay, I apologize for my initial response; I had a crappy day and was being defensive. Your take is the best and most sensible I've heard, but it somehow makes the song even worse for me as I can't respect inaction in that situation. Maybe 14 year-old me would've liked it lyrically but the music, and especially

Yep. Still rubbish. And whiney.

The only R.E.M. song I vehemently despise is "Losing My Religion". When it was released, friends argued about its meaning and how deep it was. My continual assurance that it was meaningless jibberish and it sucked was always ignored.

I thought the same George Michael comparison when I heard "Moving On Up" (specifically, I thought it sounded like George Michael doing a b-side from Exile on Main Street) and it kept me away from the album until this past year. I finally bought the album and have reassessed: This is not George Michael.

Years ago, I saw a stage adaptation of Cat's Cradle by the Lifeline Theatre in Chicago, and it was a lot of fun. I still hope some of Bokonon's songs from the play pop up somewhere on the internets. I think it would be difficult to film but not impossible.
