Trekkies the doc was very good. I like the dentist who had his office decorated like the Starfleet bridge (sorry if that nomenclature is not correct). Most of the people I work with say "I'd go to that dentist!"

You should always leave out the Trumps.

I recalled one of them got slapped with a sawmill belt (Jim Bob? Or was it like Star Trek and some new character who immediately died). And then there was Ellen Corey, still doing her part even after having had a stroke. And unlike Dick Clark, it somehow worked, because they were really were like a family. Good call…

I saw the second on an airplane. That Allentown song was funny. Not worth watching the whole movie.

Tyler Perry Presents Don't be a Menace in South Central After Faking Your Death in the Hood

A lot of people realize it. Billy Bob must have been in an indie band, because he hits that scene with the band practicing (the one with Dwight Yoakum) and the unfunny after-practice banter out of the park, nay out of the stadium.

There were also the cases that got settled with the proviso that the victim remain silent about the matter.

You think that Lee Allen, Dr. John, Roy Montrell, Papoose, Fats Domino weren't the best musicians of their time? You think that Big Joe Turner wasn't the best singer who ever lived? You think that Keith Moon or John Bonham was a better drummer than Al Jackson, Jr? Well OK so do most of my friends, but I try to change…

Well said. That's why Keith Emerson made pretty much everything he touched pretentious. Oh, your simple minds don't comprehend that I just copped J.S. Bach on that last lick! And I performed with the whatever orchestra!

I always spelled this heh heh m heh heh.

Outrageously true. The older I get, the more I realize how important casting is. Without R. Lee Ermey, even the first part wouldn't have been all that great, but he makes that movie - Kubrick was lucky to have found him.

That interpretation is so far off the mark it completely missed the target. TV execs don't care how long somebody has been in the biz, as long as they make the advertisers (advertiser in those days, many shows had a single sponsor) happy and they moved product. Fellow entertainers might get bitchy, well stop the…

This is why NOLA is the best city in the world. Don't put down Ignatius J. Reilly or he'll smack you with his lute string. It's my second favorite statue, next to the one in Cork, Ireland, near the government building (multy-story, six or so): these two bogmen looking at it, mouth agape, as if they've never seen the…

Kid Congo Powers did an oral history of his life for newyorknighttrain. He was almost a Zelig-like character, look at the bands he was in: The Gun Club, the Cramps, the Bad Seeds. He was also in Berlin around the Einsturzende period.

Exactly, good editors can be harder to find than good writers - there seem to be fewer of them.

Absolutely, Mr. Gallagher?
Positively, Mr Sheen!

I wanted to know: Why did he get fired from that understudy job? He mentions the lack of confidence, then he mentions the wiseass.

One of the funniest things I ever saw was that TV show he had, right after glasnost, where he went to this Russian missile site that had had its missiles pointed at the Detroit/Flint area. He went to the gate and told his translator to tell him we come in peace, thanks for not aiming your nuclear missles at us…

It's very hard for a puppeteer to get a job in this wintry economic climate.

And, he joined a rock band for the only reason that makes sense: He wanted to get laid a lot. I know we're pretty ironic around here, but I'm dead serious. Still not ironic!
