SPOILER: After a massive amount of vandalism, the film ends with the birds exploding.

There already is a Big TV show, and it's called Sabado Gigante.

"And Jesse Helms is in line for his fifth gold med— OH MY GOD HE'S BEING CHOKED TO DEATH BY A SHADOW"

Eh. It's no Baking Shad.

I think this is a pretty good argument for the seven (or multiple) types of intelligence hypothesis. Most of my professors were smart and well-adjusted human beings; a few were utterly brilliant in their field and utterly dumb when it came to emotional intelligence.

Whole books have been written about the lousy deals into which he locked his artists. Gordy wasn't unique in that respect — we know about his deals because of the suits — but it's still remarkable how comparatively little top acts made. If The Supremes sold $500,000 worth of records, they got roughly $5,000, split…

Quite possibly the most innovative bassist of the 20th Century — and he sits in the audience without any acknowledgement. That was goddamn criminal.

Didn't The Supremes get into a fight near the end of the show?

NOEL'S BACK! Bring me the fatted calf.

All I remember about that movie is the ad:

Whoa whoa whoa — ain't nobody going to call Night Court a mediocrity. At least, not the first five or six seasons.

I think it's a sweet opening with a good dollop of self-awareness, the way Lisa Marr sings it. Cub got called a "cuddle-core" band, because their music was pretty upbeat compared to, say, Riot Grrrl music.

Yes — that was the tour where they had to drive out of New York to make all the tour dates. I remember Flansburgh dedicating the song "to New York City, the city that takes a hit and keeps on rocking."

Saw three TMBG shows at the Bowery Ballroom. Great, great venue. I got there early to stake out a place on balconies and get a commanding view of the band.

When the adjective "sexy" is attached to Halloween costumes, I view it less as an invitation and more as a warning that says "seriously, just find some old clothes at the Salvation Army. This won't work."

"Master Bruce, you are now the proud CEO of M. Yass, LLC, Bermuda's leading offshore distributor."

JUST $800 million? Pathetic, Wayne.

Duvall has said he was willing to be paid half what Pacino made, but not a quarter of it, which kept him off the set. It's hard to say what his presence in the film would have meant for it; on the one hand, Coppolla said the early draft would explore the rift between Michael and Tom seen brewing in the Godfather Part…

Absence of George Carlin : Bill & Ted 3 :: Absence of Robert Duvall : Godfather III

WHY IS THE REFEREE ALLOWING THIS?
