Nowadays the front page is 90% Great Job, Internet and Watch This. Do the editors even give a damn anymore?

Independence Day, Twister and Civilization II.

And I hated that there was never a notice that it was being discontinued or any explanation why - you'd just wait for the next installment and wait and wait . . .

I want more "I Watched This on Purpose"!!

Nerve was one of the books reviewed in YA Why?, one of my favorite AV club features that vanished without warning or explanation.

Oh yeah? Well, I'll have you know I'm a direct descendant of Adam.

Did they have the utensils chained to the counter, as I saw once as a gag in some British movie?

Moe's??

Mickey D's Fish Filets are pretty good. I have one for lunch every Friday.

And four people were killed at a Roy Rogers in Alexandria, VA on March 6, 1976.

There used to be a Burger Chef near my local mall. It always had a sign in the window advertising something called a "Skipper's Treat". It closed in the early eighties and became a Ginn's Office Supply store. Now the building (which still looks pretty much the same) is a Vitamin Shoppe.
