Larry Bird, the cast of Cheers, and Charles Emerson Winchester III.

The best antidote to "Tears in Heaven":

David Bowie's mentally-ill half-brother killed himself by laying his head on a train-track in the 80s and Bowie didn't write a stupid song about it.

"Layla" is more moving than "Tears in Heaven." The latter's got Clapton's son, but the former's got Fat Louie and Dolores, Frenchy McMahon, Joe Buddha, Frankie Carbone…

I'd say that Bill Wyman ought to do more thinking and less whinin.'

I graduated in 1998, and we got stuck with Green Day's fucking "Time of Your Life" song. We even had the lyrics emblazoned across the front of the ceremony pamphlets.

JIMINY JILLICKERS, JIMINY JILLICKERS, JIMINY JILLICKERS!!!

Judy Garland was taped down to hide her breasts. Carrie Fisher was taped down not to hide her breasts, but to stop them from jiggling when she was running around.

More Shane Black-isms: giving quirky funny lines to two-bit henchmen, and banter between the protagonist and a precocious kid. Sadly missing: Al Leong bringing out the electrodes when Tony Stark was strung up at the bad guys' hideout, and Tony Stark dancing a fuckin' jig at the end when the villains are defeated.

It might need to be an HBO series, just so we can see the pooch getting screwed.

Four Lions was supposed to screen on Australian TV last weekend, but it was pulled because of the Boston bombings. I understand a British TV screening was cancelled too.

The glassy-eyed pause before she takes the sip is what makes that scene.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus: I wonder why Danny Peary slacked off on the movie-book front since about the early 1990s. The three volumes of Cult Movies, and Guide for the Film Fanatic, and Alternate Oscars are great. But I think since then, Peary's output has been mostly books about baseball.…

"It is was it is. Fucking yentas, man, the yentas. Fuck it. You can’t blame me for wanting to try to play the King of the Jews, you know? I wasn’t playing a cop or a crook."

The Hot Spot captures Jennifer Connelly at the zenith of her hotness. (The eye-popping bikini/topless scenes give it the edge over Career Opportunities.)
