Target Video! The mark of quality for wierdos of that generation.

Lux wearing heels and those leather pants at One Step Beyond in Santa Clara, sticking a drum stick into a wine bottle, turning it upside down, and letting the sacrament go down his gullet. Nick Knox smoking a cigarette and playing the drums at the same time. God I miss those guys, especially this time of year.
He didn't tell me to do anything, we were sitting around watching TV after Sunday dinner. We also watched the World at War, including the scene where the concentration camp bodies were being bulldozed into mass graves. Wow this turned out to be a nice thread!
I'm too lazy to do research, but it would not surprise me if Mambo No. 5 sold more than all of Lou Reed's records combined.
The most terrifying horror show I saw was also a documentary: A 60 Minutes piece on the Milgram Experiment. I was about 10 and I thought that the people really were getting shocked and, finally, electrocuted. Thanks Dad!
That was John Candy doing Welles on SCTV wasn't it?
Best one I ever heard was "Mendocino" by the Sir Doug Quintet, just such a great, happy song.
No, it's because it's a terrible choice for a wedding song.
It was trying to look like a cheap bootleg - live shows were getting bootlegged a lot at that time. I watched Pawn Stars where somebody is trying to sell the young guy the contract from the Leeds show, because the dad is a huge Who fan. That contract was actually an insert in the album for a long time. There were a…
Water bottles would hover and then crash to the ground. This must be done with either visible strings or really bad CGI. "What's that smell? It smells like…vodka and scotch!" "Why is my bellybutton so sore this morning?" Oh yeah somebody greenlight this, stat.
Kill Kiddo sounds a lot better than Kill Beatrix, but besides that, I'd like to see this too. Would be awesome to see a middle-aged Uma kick ass.
"As someone weaned on Seinfeld…"
I was the same way, although I only saw it about two months ago. It wasn't quite an epiphany, but it was, and is, nice to see that people outside of the mainstream can, not just survive, but thrive and create something useful. It was one of the most life-affirming movies I've ever seen.
Do not taunt NuDisqus.
Jesus Christ this really exists. So far I've seen an "are those real melons?" joke and four pigs dancing to Hava Nagila. This is not just bad. I don't want to live in a world where this exists.
I never threw toast at the screen when Rocky Horror was popular, and I will never throw spoons, or forks, or whatever it is they do at these The Room fests. However, there is something about Tommy. As many people have written, it's like somebody came from another planet, observed us and our habits and mating customs…
The one thing I'm not sure about is if transvestites are homosexuals or not. Because he only makes that point about 800 times in that movie.
He did radio in New York also and had his own theater company. You think movie actors are weird, meet the people of the thee-ah-tah some time.
He also wore that weird prosthetic on his teeth to make his upper lip area more pronounced. The Academy loves the prosthetics, and they will take the older guy with a distinguished career every time, it's not even really a contest in my not-very-well-informed opinion (I don't even watch the Oscars anymore).
Meh-hee-co..was a nightmare.
