Heh.  I was recently at an African-American friend's birthday party, so it was twelve black guys…and me.  Now, I've always been a 2nd Amendment proponent, so when the subject of Martin/Zimmerman inevitably came up, my girlfriend immediately began massaging my neck in order to keep me calm.  It kept me from getting my…

I agree wholeheartedly on "EFLA"; he was stretching himself beyond the breaking point of silliness with that one.  Snake beating the shit out of the huge wrestler in "Escape from New York"?  Totally plausible, and totally kick-ass.  Carpenter at his best.  Snake (with a knee injury, mind you) surfing onto the back of…

Rodney King? (Oh shit, too soon…sorry guys).

I think it's probably Carpenter's last good movie.  He's always had a talent for getting the most out of actors who can't act for shit.  Pleasence and Russell excluded, of course.
(Meaning Pleasence and Russell actually ARE decent actors. I apologize for any confusion).

Yeah, Grundy really came off as a real ass-clown in that interview.  It was impressive how well a group of 18-year old kids handled him.  Lydon, as is his habit, appears to be bored & dismissive.  Jones, on the other hand, just runs away with it:
"Ya dirty old sod!"
"Well we spent it, ain't we? Right down the boozer!"

Agreed.  Frost and Nixon don't even make out!

My apologies; that was Grundy.  Still a great example of idiocy triumphing over idiocy.

The clip of drunk-off-his-ass Steve Jones & aloof, pompous Johnny Rotten sparring with him are classic.  He will be missed.

You may wish to consult a physician as soon as possible,

I was hoping they'd include Linus.  Yes, that dude took a lickin' & kept on tickin'.  But, I particularly enjoyed the episode after he uses The Wheel, and hands those two Arabs' asses to them.  And when he beats the snot out of that big guy from the boat.

Impressive, sir (I'm assuming "sir", as women are far too busy with such trifles as Justin Beiber and menstruation to appreciate Portishead).

I beg to differ, sir.  I recently spoke with a younger musician friend who'd never heard of Portishead.  It lead to numerous forehead-slappings on my part, along with me screaming, "You've never heard of Portishead???  HOW do you claim to love music, you stupid idiot???"

Congratulations, Mr. Prickhard.  You are the only one who has actually managed to anger me in well over a year.  You are a worthy foe indeed.  "Big Shot" is actually a great song; the rest of his catalogue is pure JackFM fodder.  I rest my case.

Apart from the J&MC, this list sucks, and I made a far better proposal for it four months ago.  I will be happy to send you my resume when you are ready to accept, and I will be glad to review your offer.  Please keep in touch.  -J

"Scarface" made me hide in a corner in my room for a week (I was 9).  "Untouchables" is unimpeachable.  "Body Double" was just stupid— stupid plot twists, stupid characters.  Like many of my favorite artists, he's done mostly stinkers, but with a few gems along the way.

Yeah, I guess I'd do her again.  She'd probably even be down for a three-way with that daughter of hers.

Rodney Dangerfield is my favorite master in this art.  He dealt out lethal insults, and was brutally self-deprecating, but ameliorated by saying, "Heyyy, Take it easy!  You're alright!"

Hearkens back to the '97 MTV Music Awards.  It was so cute how she optimistically thought that her pessimistic views could change the world.

Sounds like an "American Beauty" for young people.
