Making the Train album ESPECIALLY inessential, based on the embedded track, is their insistence on sounding as much like the original album as possible, right down to Monahan doing his best Robert Plant impression. I can at least envision someone who loves the sound of Train and wants to hear how they interpret…

I feel like there were more spoilers in the review than there were in the Spoiler Space.

Let me guess: this one thought it would be hilarious to murder Hillary Clinton and they've had to change the plot now that she lost?

Republicans buy cereal too.

It's worth noting that significant parts of Finding Nemo take place in an aquarium in a dentist's office.

I clicked for the Long Winters. That song gets me every time.

But the argument isn't "Billy Madison sucks." The argument is "Getting rid of Billy Madison might spare us the bulk of Sandler's god-awful film career." Which is a reasonable argument.

In my experience, most of it is either low-rent melodrama or low-rent wacky comedy (with a minimum of one flamingly gay stereotype per comedy). The artsy stuff seems to mostly exist at the fringes.

How long will it take to actually get this made? LONGER THAN YOU THINK!!!

Well, Republic of Congo and Botswana are basically the same country, so I'm sure there won't end up being anything vaguely racist about what this guy is asked to say in his role as "African dude who can't speak English."

There's also a Season 14 episode in which Santa's Little Helper becomes the new Duff mascot, "Suds McDuff."

By "cut for time" do you mean "cut for an extremely small number of laughs?" The audience seemed entirely uninterested for the whole first half. I assume any sketch that requires that much work is going to get cut if no one is buying in.

I think it is the exact opposite of obvious.

I would swear - SWEAR - that at some point they ran a version of this that tacked on a "THIRTEEN!" right at the very end. I distinctly remember it from childhood. Yet I've never been able to find proof of this and my wife thinks I'm nuts. Am I just nuts? Did I dream this, like Skittlebrau?

That Grosse Pointe Blank trailer is TERRIBLE. Wow. It seems like it was probably done for VHS release but ugh. "Hey, here's the whole film but also we jump around so much that it's not funny at all."

I looked at the episode list and I'm fairly sure that "Homer vs. Dignity" is the oldest Simpsons episode I've never seen. Sounds like maybe I should keep it that way.

On SNL, anyway. He did show up in a Reebok ad years later around the time of the Bears-Colts Super Bowl.

And they did pretty much the same thing with Joe Mantegna's Bill Swerski, with George Wendt stepping in as Bob Swerski in subsequent sketches, referencing Bill's absence by saying things like he just had another heart attack. Tells you a little bit about the B-list celebrity pecking order that Wendt was always…

Unless you count cease and desist letters.

Had pretty much the exact same thought. (And posted as much, because I didn't read down far enough to see this before.)
