Favorite Lost character: Mr. Ecko.  The one where he turns from a warlord to a priest is absolutely great.  That guy was really poorly used. Plus, he was encroaching on John's territory; John is spiritual, but he's no priest.

It's going to inevitably be a letdown— they should just postpone it for years, until the crowd builds to a fever pitch, and then kill Charlie in the first episode.  I don't mean kill his character, either.

I was a little too old to really get sucked in, but my brother bought the absolute worst possble TMNT tie-in: piano sheet music to "T-U-R-T-L-E Power".  That song was really crying out to be played on a piano by a third grader.  All the lyrics were just Xs instead of notes. 

He once had hair!

I have seen Playing With Fire at multiple branches.  So someone decided to order one for EACH library in the region. 

I picked up Playing With Fire when it was at my local library and burned it to my iPod, just because I had heard how horrible it was supposed to be.  But a really bad album isn't like a really bad movie; I think Troll 2 is hilarious, but I couldn't get through the entire Playing With Fire.  Plus, it was the censored

For some reason, I haven't followed James' career after "Hoop Dreams" (which, of course, is awesome).  Of course they air it on stupid Valentine's Day (I mean, uh, sweet Valentine's Day sweetie!) so I can't watch this, but "Stevie" looks  intriguing as well.

Black Diamond Bay is great; sort of a pseudo-sequel to "Rosemary, Jack".  I love those songs done with tons of characters, bumping into each other in public places.

A motion capture actor that is not named Andy Serkis? That's gotta be a typo.

I don't know if this is more underrated or that I loathe the rest Street Legal, but I really like "Changing of the Guard".  I think the song is basically the same for 7 minutes, but for some reason, I never care.

The version of that he does on the Unplugged album is the definitive one for me. That and "Shooting Star": Wow, he's still making good music in the 90s?

He sold out and lost his bad boy status by Jedi.  You don't want to see your bad boy settle down.  If he would have died at the end of Empire, he would have lived in bad boy infamy.  Just speculating.  I'm not gay, nor a woman, and his "performance" in Jedi reeks in multiple ways.  This is but one. 

Yeah, when I was 9 and saw how she looked in the mid 80s, I was hoping for a time machine to go back and date her circa That Darn Cat.  I was the original Jeff Mangum.

Uhhh…. yeah… from adolescent Kevin's point of view.  Not mine. From his.

It was more like second grade. I guess I should have brought up the age number in that comment to maybe 18 or 20 to accentuate its ridiculousness.  I figured when people heard "13", they would automatically laugh at that being impossible. By 13, I was already masturbating to pictures of… hmmm maybe I better

Give me a break.  I was only 13 at the time.  How was I supposed to know?

Well fuck this film in its ass! They can make a movie about Doom, they're making a movie about Battleship, and there's a film called "Rampart" and it's NOT about the 80s Tetris-Rampage hybrid arcade game about destroying and rebuilding medieval castles!?

If we can count kisses of a 24" by 36" poster under a blanket in my bed, then the first girl I ever kissed was Princess Leia in her bikini being yanked closer to Jabba. 

Here's my favorite: did you like her slender and sexy? Well, then you'll love her bloated and monstrous!

Yes, my big adulthood crush would be Scully once she lost that horrific season 1 hairdo.  All business, but you know she needs passion at the end of the day.
