Today the Taiwanese hold the Japanese in much higher regard than the Chinese.  Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese occupation is viewed as oppressive and stealing Taiwan's natural resources.  Basically treating the island and the people as a temporary stop before going back to the Mainland.  At least the Japanese built roads…

I believe John Carter Needs His Mom is the title of the porn parody

I was thinking John Candy's contribution to the freedom of Canadians

They even stole the Blue Steel look for the picture up there

Roundball Rock by John Tesh with no irony at all. You can't listen to the song without seeing Jordan in his warm ups while Marv Albert breaks down the match up with the Czar of the Telestrator Mike Fratello.

Dave Mustaine is the Steve Jobs to Metallica's Bill Gates - he'll never be as financially successful, but he's known to a new generation as a legend while the other is just some old fart that makes a product no one really likes.

Next time I meet someone from New York talking about being excited for their football team, I'll be sure to ask, "what's your team's logo, the Jets?"

Ah, finance - predicting the future with math.

Last week's topic about falling in love got probably half the response of this week's topic.  The message as always: we love to hate.

I'm behind the times a lot, but I just heard this song for the first time a few days ago, and I was so shocked by the banality, I had to actually search it out online.  Not knowing anything about the artist or the backstory, I thought I was listening to a Lonely Island parody.  Never once does the song mention which…

You know, this movie isn't that far removed from Rush Hour…

Closer entrance music isn't much different from entrance music for wrestlers.  They both aim to be larger than life and pump up a crowd.  If I were a closer, I'd go with "What's my Name" by DMX or "Thunderkiss '65" by White Zombie.  Or if you want to go classical, borrow the best entrance music of all time from Darth…

I know!  We'll do a movie about a black, urban hustler runner from the law and some double-crossed gangstas hiding out in the suburbs impersonating a high school teacher eventually teaching the stuck up white kids how to get their groove on.  Call Martin Lawrence!  We've got a hit!

You know what I don't understand?  Why do they say "taking a dump" instead of "leaving a dump?"  I mean after all, you're not taking it anywhere, you're just leaving it there.

Consider this: in Rush Hour, Jackie Chan changes Tucker's radio in the car, and Tucker says: Never touch a black man's radio!  So not really funny, but it works if you can accept that black people are especially passionate about music.

Or the one with the nuclear bombs exploding overhead and a couple is in their shelter with the wife yelling at the husband "how many times have I told you to put a can opener in the shelter?!"

The guy who founded Google, and is now worth billions, is one year older than me.

Back to the Future is 25 years old this year. Michael J. Fox went back in time 30 years from 1985 to 1955 in the first movie. Pretty soon, we could make a movie about a guy from the present who goes back in time 30 years to 1985.

Garage days
Back in the day, finding an import bootleg copy of Metallica's Garage Days was the holy grail of CD shopping. Now its on iTunes, but man, if you just had that CD, a couple other b-sides (Stone Cold Crazy, Breadfan, etc.), and knew nothing else about the band, you'd think Metallica was one of the best,…
