Couple thoughts about this awesome finale:

As one who was 10 in 1972, this article is pretty consistent with my memory. I think the only subtlety is the desperate desire by young kids of that time to associate themselves with that whole groovy, hippy, rebellious stuff that our older siblings were into. And advertisers knew this, I think. But the most…

Yes! Or Diloris. (Yes, I know it isn't spelled that way..)

I'm afraid that I couldn't find the Deloris.

First thing I did with my shiny, new 386 was to install SimCity and type-in the super-secret infinite-money code. Endless hours of unfettered creativity. Especially with those cool expansion packs that made everything look like a lunar colony or a castle or the wild west.

Back in olden-times, they used to actually broadcast failed pilots to fill dead-spots in the summer schedule. This is why I recall things like the failed pilot in which Ed Begley Jr. played a fictionalized version of Seattle TV clown JP Patches as a budding politician. But I think these are even worse. So bad that…

So here's the thing. At what point does a satire of rampant sexualization cross the line to being, well, rampant sexualization. I mean, sure, I get the point of the "Heavy Boobs" musical interlude. But it is still a video with a bunch of attractive young women swinging their boobs around for our amusement. And, to…

Speaking of innovative music - having Chance be carried up the stairs to "Basketball Jones" was fairly brilliant as well.

That is how I interpreted. It was an expression of his complete innocence.

I think the difference is that in "Forrest Gump" the main character really did have inner wisdom. He really did have something to say. Chance was just an idiot who was so innocent that he he didn't even know how to react to gravity. He was a blank page. This allowed people to interpret his words as profound because…

So for me, personally, there is a deeper absurdity here. When I first saw this film I had no idea that there where any areas in Washington DC that didn't look like Georgetown. This is because the only representations of DC I had seen in movies and television had skipped over that little detail. So, to me, the movie…

I think that Nolan is making a very subtle and profound insight into the nature of movies, and fiction in general - that there is no underlying reality being represented. All that exists is your perception of what you see on the screen, or read on the page. Not even the intention of the writer matters, except as an…

This is the coolest trailer I have seen since "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." It oozes attitude.

Do not ruin the special, special place that Prepon has in my heart. Yeah, um, heart,

Myst was the first computer game I ever purchased. I remember seeing it profiled on 60 Minutes and had to own it. I saved up money for weeks to buy it, and then lost myself completely in it. The whole idea of having a world to explore in a leisurely way was the first time I really understood the potential of…

Portal 2, at least, kind of recaptured some of the lonely atmosphere of Myst. The sense of solitary exploration combined with puzzle solving.

I did that too. It made sense at the time.

Yes, I recall that too. Sort of an Omega Man vibe. I think part of this was the soundscape. To this day, certain sounds remind me of that game. Remember the way the tree sounded as it descended? That sort of pile-driver noise? I hear that in real-world sounds all the time, and it still gives me chills.

I once saw "Three Weddings and a Funeral" on a plane, and then suggested my in-laws watch it with me, my wife, and our small children. Granted, there wasn't anything too shocking - just some crude humor and a couple of sexual innuendos - but these were enough to annoy my wife for days.
