I'll see your McDowell and raise you one Jagger.

HULK BROODS! HULK PINES FOR JENNIFER CONNELLY!

There's a particularly icky head-crushing shot in Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man.

ay-ee-eye-oh-you…

Given that she has Tasha Yar's haircut from Star Trek: TNG… yes.

VWORP VWORP!

I have to gently disagree with your reading of the scene where Jim falls back on cutesy sentimentality… the way I took it, Jim was flailing for a way out of an impossible situation until he hit on something that shut everybody in the room up, and he could slip out. All that was missing was a fist pump.

I liked the flat honesty of the "you know I've got to do this, right?", and Dwight's assent. A nearly-meta acknowledgment of their characters' relationship.

I've always liked the NYPD Blue theme too. Maybe it's the opening shot of the subway, but the heavily percussive nature always struck me as inspired by the noise of the city.

And how. I don't see McKean's hand in that at all. And mixing Futura and Trajan? WTF?

I can live without creaky old Harrison Ford as long as we get bonkers Eddie James Olmos back as the incomprehensible Gaff.

I, too, am a little concerned about his health. I thought he liked spry and remarkably fit in the Berlin concert film from just a few years back. But I happened to see him do two recent guest appearances live (with Gorillaz in Madison Square Garden and with Peter Gabriel at Radio City Music Hall) and he was alarmingly…

"Shut the door."

I had to avert my eyes from footage of Comfortably Numb above, because I know just enough guitar to know the footage of Gilmour's famous second guitar solo wasn't even remotely close to being in sync. It hurt my brain.

Doesn't this whole thing stem from the fact that they used a few seconds of mellotron (an early tape-loop synthesizer) on OK Computer? That old fart rock critics forever associated them with prog rock just pissed Thom Yorke off.

I saw the movie for the first time on VHS at a high school pal's house, and it confirmed the First Law of Watching Movies as a Teenager: a parent WILL walk in RIGHT DURING a sex scene. In the case of The Wall, it was the copulating flower sequence. My pal's dad stood there awkwardly and silently for a moment, then…

Here's another vote for Amused to Death. I think it's the album Waters had been trying to make for years, until he finally pulled it off and then effectively retired.

It's times like this that make it hard to remember that The Wire and Treme are both often gut-bustingly funny. I rewatched the first episode of season five recently and laughed out loud more frequently than I do at a sitcom. From Simon's various interviews, pronouncements, and the book "Truth Be Told," it'd be easy to…
