Danzig?
Seriously, no Danzig?

An evening stroll with friends; I would so enjoy that.
The delivery of that line by the Reverend breaks me every time I hear it.

It -is- a pretty shitty movie, though.

Up vs. What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue!

My ex and I used to constantly refer to Frailty as "Demons," based solely on the number of times that word gets spoken in a vaguely malevolent southern accent.

How embarrassing. No rich stuff for me.

I don't follow, Miller.

Koski, admit it
You were a fan of Gordon Korman, weren't you? That's where my love of imaginary boarding schools came from.

The Goonies
Sometimes I think that the moment I became a joyless cynic was when I finally realized that me and my friends couldn't just wander into adventures. When I think of the time I spent wandering through fields and forests looking for trapdoors and hidden caves and secret clues, I realize that I really want

2 Moments…
I love the split-second look on Wild Bill's face just before he's shot (referenced at the top of this page); it seems to suggest that Bill knows his time is up and he's okay with it.

Hear God Laugh, and Punch: When recommending the show, I always tell people to watch the first 4 episodes as close to back-to-back as possible. the way one major arc ends opens into the wider world of Deadwood and you realize just how many stories there are to be told. Similarly, with The Wire I advise to watch the

We're going back ta Minnasoota.
The massacre of the family of squareheads is the basis of the pilot's plot, but did anyone else see this as a meta-comment/joke? This ain't no Little House; people with firm moral stances have to get the hell out of Deadwood while they can. The squareheads waited too long.

Pa: I can't think that either "Never Too Young to Die" and "Prayer of the Roller Boys" ever really had the expectation of blockbusterdom that would make them flops, per se. They are both awesome, absolutely, but much more in tune with another New Cult Canon camp month. I wholeheartedly endorse both!

These days we call that "synergy."
Man, how prescient was that joke? It doesn't get a laugh at all, but flash forward to 30 Rock and synergy is an obvious punching bag. 10 years ahead of the satirical curve, Newsradio was. Not to mention that it's a very good point.

Dave, that was Readalong. I always get them confused too, except that Readalong had a banjo-playing skeleton.

I always found Green Forest very unsettling for some undescribable reason; there's nothing really strange about it, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be positively hypnotic when high.

I always got these guys confused with some other show with polymorphous coloured blobs, but for the life of me i can't sort it out. Still, these things are both age-appropriate yet really, really weird.

You can always kinda kick it in the chillout tent.
