Yeah, that Notorious BIG was the first thing that came to mind… I love the thought that at one point it was considered BALLIN' to have a Super Nintendo AND a Sega Genesis.

Yeah, considering there are already 2 Deluxe reissues of Thriller w/bonus tracks, it seems pretty likely these new tracks are along the lines of the Beatles Anthology outtakes…

SATANIC PANIC!
One great example of the hysteria over rock in the 80's: I remember a teacher in elementary school telling us that Billy Idol's "White Wedding" was a reference to some kind of satanic suicide ritual (I believe it involved a virgin suicide, hence the "white wedding").

I dunno, I think Matthew Sweet has kinda improved since he stopped trying to ride the grunge bandwagon and just embraced his power-pop powers. In Reverse has some MOR material on it but overrall it's a pretty stellar "mature" pop songwriter album, sorta reminiscent of recent Aimee Mann post-I'm With Stupid.

Oh god yeah, that ending is fucking retarded and leaves oodles of gaping plot holes. So the psychiatrist hid that note from the missing woman under a loose panel in the floor of her room? How'd they know he would find it? How'd they know they would make his way to the lighthouse? The whole plot depends on a staggering

Minority Report just flat-out sucked, except for that one chase sequence where Tom Cruise and Samantha Morton are utilizing her precognitive abilities to outrun the cops. That was clever, but the rest of the movie is pretty much incoherent.

GOOD TOPIC! Not that the third act elevates it all that much, but I'd nominate A Few Good men… There's really nothing memorable about that movie until the cross-examination of Nicholson's character. It's cheesy, but it worked, I guess.

Yeah they definitely soften the blow of the crap ending by making it obvious loooooong in advance that the boyfriend was gonna have the actual button. I guess that's a SPOILER, but hey, the movie spoils itself.

Thank you Zoidberg I can't believe no one brought up the king of third-act failure, Kevin Smith. It's not so much that a huggy, sentimental ending is a bad way to end a raunchy comedy - it's no worse than the typical alternative, which is a cartoonish villain getting his comeuppance - but Kevin Smith just doesn't

It's kind of appropriate in this case because it's sounds like something your Mom would say when you're on a family vacation, and Kim Cattrall does seem like someone's embarrassing mother trying to be "hip" and "with it"

Such a disappointment
Yeah when I heard about this concept and for the first hour or so of the movie it seemed like a genius idea, like it could be the next Idiocracy-type social satire. But yeah, there's no getting around the fact that the romantic subplot ruins the movie. It would've been torturous to cut away from

Hole Hearted?
"the world winces at the pained metaphors that will inspire in Michaels' music"

OH and "I Made Linda Lovelace Gag" is fucking badass. Kind of disturbing given the fact that she's dead now, but still, bad ass!

X-Rated Country Hits is amazing
Seriously, Nabin, do yourself a favor and track that shit down. I remember I first heard "Don't Bite The Dick That Fucks You" on an episode of Weeds and I knew I had to find that song. The rest of the album is pretty stellar as well, especially "Fuckin' in the Butt". There's one

I dunno, I think the basic premise of a scumbag superhero who begrudgingly saves the day while pissing people off left and right has potential, but yeah, Will Smith was THE WORST POSSIBLE casting choice for that sort of thing. Oh and the third act was pretty disastrous… I think there's a grain of inspiration in there

"The funny thing is what happened to her nose/It grew until it reached her toes"

But "a Horse with no name" has the amazing line "There were plants and birds and rocks and things"

As awesome as Transformer is, the lyrics are fucking awful. "You hit me with a flower/You do it every hour"?

Oh poor Romeo, sitting on his OWNEO
