My personal I'm-not-listening-to-anything-you-say-from-now is "connect the dots, people!" Sheeple is up there too.

Not enough gold chains.
(clicking of handcuffs) you're under arrest, Ras Claat!
You're thinking about the Seven Duffs: Tipsy, Queasy, Surly, Sleazy, Edgy, Dizzy and Remorseful
Thanks for the props, but really, a large reason for this was that I was frying on acid the first time I saw Rocky III. One of those daytime fries, with all my punk friends, at one of those houses where the dad was long gone and mom had to be at work, and the most interesting thing of the day was to see who was going…
Like Snakes on a Plane. I wanted to like that so much! It was just perfect for my sensibilities. Then I watched it, and…is that all there is? Just a pandering to sensibilities like mine? That will never work.
Back in the '70s, I called PBS the Petroleum British network, because everything was sponsored by oil companies and it was all crappy British dramas like "Upstairs Downstairs". I know some people like that, but as Madman Mundt said in Barton Fink, "I can feel my butt gettin sore already." So it's not just a recent…
It's the Adam Sandler hell, although he's very close to the seventh circle by now, whereas Stallone is probably in circle 2 or 3. A lot of people liked him in Copland too. And I can watch the Rockies, even now. Mr. T is great in Rocky III. I'm one of the few who liked Drago also. Even Rocky II it watchable on a…
I love the running commentary they have at the Corn Palace, the tape loop on the history of the Corn Palace. It went something like "and then he decided to build a palace of corn bigger than any other corn palace in the world…" like we were behind the rest of the world in Corn Palaces.
Sun Studio is amazing. It's only one and it's tiny. A must see. Howlin Wolf's first recordings were there.
I still find it hard to believe that John Lydon was on Judge Judy.
"Somebody touch my lamp?" In the DeNiro accent. Also, I know I said it above, but World's Greatest Dad, he is fantastic in this. That "bottled-up emotion" thing makes a lot of sense here too, you can tell this is not a happy guy in the movie, and he has a lot to be unhappy about.
I had a revelation watching Robin Williams in World's Greatest Dad. It was the same when I saw Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading - I know we're all sarcastic here, but seriously, I was like "wow this guy can act!"
You're Austrian? Well g'day, mate!
Yeah he described it perfectly: Great for vinyl fetishists because it's exclusive and basically unplayable. I guess I'm trolling a bit, but most vinyl guys I know are basically like Nigel Tufnel with his guitar: Don't touch it. Don't even look at it! OK you've seen enough of that one. Music is meant to be listened to.…
Thanks for the correction!
This is the one I was waiting for. Liked.
He also mentions being in a studio, and Quincy Jones was in an adjacent studio, not too long after this. Somebody told Quincy that Elvis was there and Quincy said "oh, I don't want to talk to that guy".
YYZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wasn't Fosse also married to Cyd Charisse? Man, this guy had some taste, even if he did screw it up.
