I used to romanticize neighborhood dive bars like that, until I realized that a substantial part of their business came from old guys (and some who really weren't that old, but seemed like it) who were drinking themselves to death. Their houses (which weren't worth anywhere near what they used to be, because the…

AFAIK, the only movie he shows up as a bartender in is Death Proof, which is apparently his least favorite of his own movies.

Yeah, the old guy who just sort of stops breathing one day.

I'd say that it's wrong, given that at one point Tommy tries to drag a passed-out drunk woman home with him (and subsequently ineffectively denies what he's doing when one of her friends catches him in the act). It's not a flattering portrayal by any means, which is actually one of the things that I admire about…

I got the impression at the time that she made it much worse by making out like she was being persecuted. She could have made it go away in about 30 seconds by saying, "Yeah, I was on some powerful prescription meds and could have sworn that I'd already paid for the stuff; I can't even remember half of what happened.…

There was an article about her in one of the big magazines (Rolling Stone or GQ, I think) post-Beetlejuice but pre-age of consent that had pictures of her that I can only describe as staggeringly jailbaity. Seriously, she could make you forget teen Natalie Wood. I had that forbidden crush on her until I read an…

The hell? Next you'll be telling us that Shatner has one.

I've never trusted Bigfoot ever since that party at Andrew McCarthy's place where he kept trying to give me cups of "punch" when everyone, including me, was drinking longnecks.

Lucifer's Hammer, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, in which the main villains are politically correct cannibals. I used to be a Niven fan, mostly on the basis of the first Ringworld book, but his collaborations with Pournelle cured me of that pretty quickly.

I wrote this up at more length in the comment thread for the trailer, but I'll summarize here: having read four or five Jack Reacher books (I can't remember exactly how many because they tend to run together), I figured out his big secret: he's the result of a super-soldier program that focused on mental abilities and…

He knows that most of them are fakes. He doesn't care. When he holds one of those delicate, glittering ovoids up to the light, turning it this way and that, he's like an appreciative God admiring his handiwork on the seventh day.

Maybe he directed a Harry Potter movie? Or one of the Twilights? Between the two franchises, the odds are pretty good.
