For anyone who's been trying to figure it out, he was the voice of Tails in 'Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'. And, no, it was the terrible one that ran Monday-Friday in syndication, not the awesome one that ran on Saturdays on ABC.

Why do I suddenly want a big bowl of pasta and cheese?

It's too vague to be ironic. Where was he going? What were his specific fears? How close was he to his destination? If he was attending a conference on the perils of modern travel, yes- it's ironic. The fact that he was afraid of flying, bought a ticket, and died in a plan crash is not enough to be called "ironic",…

Roger Taylor also being a dentist just isn't nearly as fascinating.

The brilliance of the song, however, is meta-textual: the fact that it's called "Ironic", and yet contains no actual instances of irony, is ironic.

I'll say "coincidental". However, if the first aid kit didn't have anything in it to actually stop the bleeding, THEN we have irony. And possibly a lawsuit.

Irony, like pornography, fits into that "I know it when I see it" category. Typically, though, it is most easily described as "the opposite of what you would expect to happen". If it had been established in "Tokyo Drift" that Walker's character had died in a firey crash, and then Walker dies in a firey crash during…

Good god, O'Neal. I was horrified by the article, but I fucking lost it and nearly woke up the family, I was laughing so hard at the last sentence.

I was thinking a sweet late-90s/early 00s emo band (musically similar to Sunny Day Real Estate or The Juliana Theory).

Just let the Lying Dog sleep.

One of the DVD releases has a whole documentary (hosted by Tom Bosley, of all people) which, if I recall, really goes into the whole situation: Capra never saw it as a holiday movie, felt it flopped and was one of his major failures; RKO (or whoever held the copyright at the time of renewal) never submitted the…

Actually, when I heard her make that comment (I just started listening to the 8th Doctor audio stories this past week, and am midway through "Stones of Venice"), my initial thought was "man…she'd have loved the console as, particularly, the first two Doctors had it set".

I see your "Rebel Flesh", and I'll raise you "Sontaran Strategem". Or "Daleks In Manhattan". Your choice. Point being, any of them could have easily been cut down to one episode and been stronger for it, but I think "Rebel Flesh" does more with the ideas it presents than the others I mentioned.

I wasn't a tremendous fan of Donna after "The Runaway Bride", but she'd easily made a great second impression by the time of the window scene in "Partners In Crime". Martha, on the other hand, was weakly written all the way to "Human Nature": the entire front half of that season, The Doctor was obviously missing…

Finally decided to buckle down and listen to the 8th Doctor audio dramas (after realizing how much I wanted more of him after watching "Night of the Doctor"), and Charlie might just be one of my favorite companions ever. Bonus: she's canonical, thanks to "Night of the Doctor".

For unexpected shredding, how about Lifeson's solo in "The Analog Kid"?

To be fair, I thought the movie was in the public domain, too. I know there was a whole big thing back in the 70s, I think, where the copyright was up for renewal, and somebody fumbled the paperwork.

Wrong- there was also "Jedi Power Battles", which was pretty decent on Playstation, but the Dreamcast version was fucking fantastic.

I beat Megaman 2 once without cheating. I couldn't make it halfway through Super Star Wars WITH cheating. It's a fucking hard game.

As a dad, trust me: sometimes pulling up Rule 34 is the only way you can make it through one more episode of a show that your kid is obsessed with. You can only pull up IMDB pages for the voice actresses so many times.
