Yes! Very nice to see The The get some love. Jools' solo is an inspiring thing of beauty.

I always wanted to hang with Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau and their crew in Swingers on their Hollywood nights out.

and afterwards, off, helicopter, back to the hotel, two birds each…

I lived in Calexico at the time "Baja" was being filmed. Donal Logue is also from around there so he was a bit of a local legend at the time (still is, I guess). There was a buzz all over town because Logue, Henriksen and Molly Ringwald were in our little border cowtown making a movie so there'd always be a crowd…

I couldn't help but have that exact image in my head when I read this headline, not because he died, mind you, but his face in that scene is the best thing in the movie…

Had forgotten all about this video and the fact PSH was even in it. I must have seen it the one time MTV played it on 120 Minutes. Great tune, great album, great video. Gonna watch Magnolia now…may the frogs forever fall from the sky in your honor Mr Hoffman…

I saw this last night and thought it was pretty clever of them to use the loop from "I Am The Walrus" as the backbeat. Hipness be damned, Danger Mouse is one of the best producers out there today, can't wait to see what he managed to squeeze out of U2 on their upcoming record. Thanks for the link! I really wanted to…

Who the fuck invited The Pet Shop Boys?!?!?

"Shopgirl" fulfilled my teenage wish of seeing Claire Danes sans clothes (and fully naked to boot) but alas, having none other than STEVE MARTIN at her side in that scene completely derailed that sentiment fast…

I love it when they go on their date and the first thing that comes on the radio when Lloyd turns on the car is "Like a sex bomb—EXPLODING!!!" really freakin' loud…

Where's that Danger Mouse produced U2 album already?

Don't forget that bass solo…
The Go-Go's understood the importance of a good bridge in a song. The bridge in "Our Lips Are Sealed" still gives me chills to this day whenever I hear it. It's one of my all-time favorite musical moments ever.

I too, succumbed to Miss Pfeiffer's charms when I first saw this flick. For some reason, the club soda/date scene sticks in my mind the most (well, aside from Nancy Travis' lovely ass of course) Been a while since I've seen this, where's the Criterion Blu-ray?

Favorite Scene: Bill watches as Mr. Fredericks emerges from the bedroom, where apparently he's been boning Bill's Mom all night, and proceeds to drink out of a cup with 'BILL' printed across it in huge letters. This scene kills me every time…

"Let's go to Cap N' Cork's — they have the new Yanni cassette!"

It's funny that it's implied (in the episode where she starts dating Mr. Fredricks) that Bill's mom used to be an exotic dancer and Claudia Christian played one (albeit one whose body has been invaded by an alien) in The Hidden…

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMONDS!!!
Love that shit…

Youtube is full of longer versions of "Dig It" that are definitely worth checking out.

He was also in Inglorious Basterds…

Being the obsessive Anglophile I am, I spent most of 1996 scouring 120 Minutes and the internet for the "next big Britpop sensation" to fill the void in between new albums by Blur, Oasis and Supergrass. The Longpigs album definitely fits in there while Grant Lee Buffalo's Copperopolis album provided a nice American…
