Field of Dreams was ubiquitous enough to inspire Billy Crystal to spoof it at the open of a comedy special he did shortly thereafter which he filmed in Russia (maybe even USSR still).  To this day, if one of my family is taking a trip where it might be chilly, we whisper "If you go there, take a jacket."  Anyone not

"Dark of the Moon" is not the same as "Dark Side of the Moon". "Dark of the Moon" refers to the time around the new moon because the moon is dark then (It does not reflect any light back at us because it is directly between the earth and the sun.) It's when nighttime is the darkest.

Carmine says one boy and here are two…

Adventures in Babysitting is always the first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Thor". Oddly enough, the whitest thing in the movie isn't the Norse god, but rather Elizabeth Shue singing the blues.

Oedipus ond the Mamma's Boys?

I am always amazed at the total ignorance and dismissal of most chefs about vegetarian food. Being a lifelong vegetarian who occasionally gets to go to really nice restaurants for work, I can tell you that I have had many faces made at me for daring to ask them to cook me something without meat or meat juice in it.

That counting enthusiast line totally cracked me up. Nice to know there are others like us out there and I commend your bravery, Sloth. It isn't always easy to admit to liking something like counting. I have had to hide it from the people closest to me.

I think it is also hard to have guys who are that short in the competition. It really messes with the choreographers when the girls are taller than the boys. For the first half of the show it isn't that big a deal since they can pair people appropriately, but the random latter half makes for trouble.

Being a lifelong vegetarian (not a vegan), I have to say that I like the idea that they challenge the chefs to do something other than just meat, meat, meat. It is something that most restaurants completely ignore. That being said, I think that the vegan thing is SO restrictive. It is also a bit like the challenges

Her doing the 'tiny nipples' thing behind Vaughn when he was talking to Jeff was classic. Suppressed laughter is always the best get.

Tease
"There's a comma and an exclamation point missing from that title."

This is the the theme to Garry's show. The opening theme to Garry's show. Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song…

I'll add my Amen to the vampire crap. Being exsanguinated is not sexy or arousing to me. Quit trying to make me believe it.

That inspirational scene link hurt my head
Is acapella like a cappella, but with instruments?

Don't call it a soundtrack
I've always been a fan of the Mark Knoppfler score for The Princess Bride. It is very accessible. In fact, I purchased the album 3 different times when I was in college because people kept stealing it. The final time it disappeared, I just decided it wasn't meant to be.

You don't know about fans, son. Packers season ticket holders pass their seats down in wills or have them held in trusts. That is love. Lambeau Field seats half the population of Green Bay and it is always full.

That story about Groundhog Day doesn't make any sense. Ramis was making a movie that shows a very buddhist perspective. Getting the opportunity over and over again to get it right and to learn that every day is a gift to lived to the fullest.

About all I have left in my memory bank from this show is that there was always some elaborate plan that had to happen that required the synchronization of Swatches at the outset.

Really? That's what killed its credibility for you? Not the basic premise of the show… Not marrying the DEA guy… Not ANY of the other ridiculous things that happen on the show…

Blood Sucking Freaks is so awesomely bad. I remember very little about it (as I haven't seen it in about 15 years) except some scene with a girl standing with her arms tied over her head and a dwarf walking around her playing a pair of cymbals. She's screaming and moaning like it hurts. We all were laughing
