I actually have that episode on VHS somewhere, despite not having anything to actually watch it on. I definitely recall the Dead Parrot sketch felt pretty worn when they performed it, but I also got the impression that it didn't strictly feel like it was their idea to perform such an old warhorse of a sketch on a…

I love Tennant, but please tell me he won't be using that terrible American accent he thinks he's got nailed.

The Revolution will not be televised.

After some research, it seems like the documentary I was forced to watch was Night and Fog.

Holy hell, I'd completely forgotten about this one. My best friend and I went to see "Spy Hard" in the movie theater, and we came out both claiming we liked it, but deep down we both knew what had happened up there on the screen was something we wanted to forget about. It truly was the first time I ever understood…

I'm with Heller here- possibly the most inappropriate-to-show-kids thing I ever saw in school was a pretty brutal Holocaust documentary. I also have absolutely no idea of the title, but I remember this: the narration was French, with English subtitles. Which meant that we didn't really have the option of just…

If Kring is limited to 6 episodes, this could be awesome. His problem seems to be that he doesn't know when he's hit the end of a story line. If somebody else is imposing that upon him, though, and he knows from the get-go that he's got to have the murder solved in 6 eps…maybe there's a chance.

I had absolutely no idea (I've never been a big TMBG fan, mostly because my brother-in-law obsesses over them), but good god, hearing that horn riff just now took me back.

My breasts jiggle when I'm wet and running.

…and thanks to this article, I just spent 15 minutes reading up on whatever became of Puck.

It's possible that GC had previously self-diagnosed as a sex addict (or not even necessarily self-diagnosis), but is consistently being confronted by sex-negative assholes in her life who are reminding her, among other things, that sex addiction is not recognized in the DSM-V, and therefore is not "real", so she's…

Hadn't heard that, but his version of "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" was easily my favorite track on that Queen tribute album a few years ago. There was also a surprisingly effective cover of "Save Me" from a while ago performed by Kevin Max (of DC Talk "fame", depending on your view of the term).

It really bugs me how often I hear the Mercury comparison. Freddie's vocals, to me, come down to three things: the ability to belt, the ability to croon (or whatever would be most accurate to his softer, more intimate vocal stylings), and his range. Yet anybody who gets the Mercury comparison bandied about on their…

I understand the words that appear here, but somehow, in the back of my mind, it feels like my entire brain is protesting, screaming about how that is not a grammatically correct sentence, even though I know it is.

Maybe we should start a list of bands that use multi-layered vocals AND genuinely sound like Queen. First up:
Muse.

I honestly don't hear it. Of any of the modern pop acts, I'd say Bruno Mars sounds more like Freddie than whatshisnamefromFun.

Their version of "Walkin' In A Winter Wonderland" continues to be one of my 5 favorite Christmas tracks on my Christmas playlist.

I do want to point out that there was really no purpose in building an aircraft and flying 120 feet in 12 seconds. And yet, as a first step….

You have rich second person problems. Although you may not be rich. You really aren't sure.

I remember local Indianapolis content. I remember being super-stoked that there was actually going to BE an Indianapolis local office, and wrote an email explaining that although I had absolutely no qualifications at all, I would be thrilled to do absolutely anything there. And then, just a few months later, they…
