"Mickey Rourke makes a comeback"
Again?

NASCAR and all its fans are… special

Everything about this

On one side: Ben Stein and Expelled.

THE BOND CURSE
Sheena Easton, Rita Coolidge, a-ha, Duran Duran, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, Garbage, Madonna, Carly Simon, Paul McCartney, Nancy Sinatra, Lulu, Tom Jones — all saw their careers go into the toilet, or at the very least cease to matter, almost as soon as they did a Bond theme.

Seagal corrects…

Sounds like
Li Yang is the Chinese Lars von Trier.

Why this didn't become a hit

The more things change…
Toronto is still dreaming of the day when they'll have a major league baseball team.

So you're the other person who saw it. Good to meet you, finally.

Oh, yeah? Did you see "You're still a douchebag?"
Sorry, Sammy, but you can name-drop Mamet and Ken Loach and David Lynch and William fucking Shakespeare and anyone else till the cows come home, but nothng will ever erase the fact that you were in Charlie's Angels and that will forever be the highlight of your…

Zevon
A list like this wouldn't be complete without him, though my preference would be, "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead."
