I like Sofia Coppola, but King of the Hill already did the whole "southern gothic about an outsider intruding on a gaggle of repressed, secluded women" and Colin Farrell is no Bill Duaterivie.

"Jason Bourne presses Damon back into service, while also reenlisting director Paul Greengrass, who made the most acclaimed of the Bourne films, first sequel Supremacy and the trilogy-capping Ultimatum."
Of all the ways to say "he made the second and third bourne movies," that might be the most obscure.

Don;t think a DVD was ever released, but here's part 1 on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

My family loved the shmenge brothers last polka, a long-forgotten HBO movie from the 1980s starring John candy and Eugene levy. It's routinely quoted around the holidays but I don't think I've ever met anybody else who has seen it.

"best known to Western audiences" Are we finally kicking those Viking savages out of Christendom, or is this guy have a K-pop career we don't know about?

Whenever people defend Manson as a really smart guy, they always point to that Bowling for Columbine clip, and it pisses me off. Moore asks him what he'd say to the kids at Columbine, he says he'd just listen to them cuz no one else would. Not only does that ignore the obvious answer to that question, which is "Don't…

I stumbled across that podcast a couple weeks ago, and was surprised how much I've enjoyed it. Pretty well done with a fair consideration of what the show's become and what still works. I was expecting more hyperbole and DHS-style hate.

Gary Shteyngart and "The Russian Debutante's Handbook." Received it as a gift, didnt know anything about the book or the author and absolutely loved it. Was really hoping Shteyngart would be a writer whose career I could get in on on the ground floor, but I hated Absurdistan and started Super Sad True Love Story…

Captain EO scared the hell out of me when I was 5 or 6. I don't remember exactly why, but I remember walking out of it absolutely terrified.

Just driving around in Jayne Mansfield's Car.

People hate on seth mcfarlane, but nailing that combined Canadian-Mexican accent was pretty impressive. Also, Steve and his freinds' "Hardcore B.F. weekend" t-shirt can make me laugh every day.

He's pretty awesome, and Conor Freiersdord (sp?) is a pretty palatable libertarian. I think its easy to snark on the atlantic for its seemingly endless fascination with the todays modern, Ally McBeal woman, as michael scott calls her, but it does seem to have stumbled on the ability to maintain some level of…

When Dooley is asked where his family is from and he just say "Dutch" might be the most inexeplicably hillarious line from this show.

"You've gotta gotta sing me the songs that say I love you, Billy"
"But I'm scared."
"Do it for me, Billy, Kate McGarrigle."

I think Tie Fighter would be a great subject. It came before the prequels and the massive proliferation of stories and characters in the SW universe. Back then, it was was really just the original trilogy and the Timothy Zahn's heir to the empire books. That game really captured what was so captivating about Star…

"especially during his recounting of a late-night roller-skating party with his idol, Prince."
Is Prince the Bill Brasky for black celebrity memoirs?  Between Questlove and Charlie Murphy, the stories are outlandish but they have to be true.

Ive always had a theory that the appearance of the sixth grader on South Park who has his own face on his shirt is based on Courtney Taylor-Taylor's look in the last junkie on earth video. No idea if its true, but I find the resemblance uncanny.

If NBC's "President of Alternative" named "Paul TelEDGY" did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

I'm was a big fan of Up for all the reasons you talked about and was really excited getting to see him try a nightly show, So far, its been good, but not quite what I had hoped. I thought it was curious to launch the show w/ a discussion of the Arkaksas pipeline spill; something worth talking about, but hardly…

Who needs friends in middle school when you get this album AND Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries for Christmas in 1996. Haven't listended to it in years, but just looking at the cover art triggers a lot memories. Weird, uncomfortable memories.
