Last Picture Show
Lots of great scenes in this film, but I'd go with Sam the Lion's banishment of the boys for their treatment of Billy: "You can stay out of my pool hall, my cafe and my picture show. . . Tormenting a poor defenseless creature. . . ." (That's a paraphrase, not a quote, despite the use of quotation…

Garry Marshall?
The Laverne and Shirley guy? He still . . . does stuff?

I deactivated from Facebook, too. Granted, I couldn't actually get anybody to accept my friend requests, so it was pretty much pro forma. But my real friends are you guys on AVClub anyway, right, guys?

Only David Spade could pull off the annoyingness that is David Sedaris.

Shit fire and save the matches!

Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming!

You don't have to look far for crappy lyrics in pop music, of course, but on the subject of songs one loves despite the crappy lyrics, the only song that leapt immediately to mind was "Levon." I freaking love that song, and about halfway through it when I find myself wailing along with the chorus ("He…

This sounds like . . . college music.

I answer to no Canadian except Gordon Lightfoot. Gord's the shitz.

Yeah, that's right, I'm gettin all literary on ya.
