I saw The Warriors in a theater on opening weekend. I was a theatre student (a degree I continue to refer to as "a Bachelor's in Pre-Unemployment") and closet action/horror/thriller/sf fan who oohed and aahed at the delights of Kramer Vs. Kramer, and Ordinary People; films okay on their own merits, but nothing lit…

The epic sweep of Fun in Acapulco? "No Room to Rhumba in a Rumble Seat" is the "Pinball Wizard" of its time.

I started listening to this while on my first Navy deployment in the mid 80's. I was the only one working the night shift in the ship's office and someone left this tape in the boombox on the bookshelf. It was the perfect album for the lonely hours during a Virginia October.

I was in a real shitty place in 1982. Trouble with alcohol, the law, and dead broke with no hope of employment. I finally joined the Navy, but had to wait six months before reporting to basic training. This forced me to move back home for half a year with my severely disappointed parents. To be fair, I was just…

From AA's description of this one, I can't say I'm exactly inspired to see it, but I feel a fair shake wasn't given to "The Woman" or "The Woods". Both had their faults, but "Woods" had a patina of creepiness throughout, and "Woman", well that one was just a balls-out, psychopathic thrill ride boosted by several…

They're pretty good, but get a little wacky by the end of the run. Itto's turns into a two-gun avenger and turns the baby cart into a primitive machine gun in the last couple of films.

"I AM THE ULTIMATE NINJA! AHAHAHAHHAHAH!"

NOTHING about this film should work: slapped together from two different films, dubbed actors, child narration, weird strobes, etc. But is does! The pacing is fast, the editing masterful, and the child actor's narration is wonderfully haunting. I love the original films, but this oddball compilation is lightning…

The interns' bacchanal in THE NEW INTERNS (1964). Drunken hospital staff, IV bag bar, dancing woman in fuzzy diaper: all boxes checked.

"Ragged Glory"—one of Young's best; and "Over and Over" is brilliant. It plays to his strengths, combining a great melody, catchy rhythm guitar riff, and a masterful capacity for instrumental improv. Though it's a long cut, it does not overstay its welcome.

I always kind of felt BOC was the life support system for Buck Dharma's stratospheric guitar work.

Always loved "See No Evil" by Television, "Badge" by Cream, Blackmore's insanely brilliant solo on "Highway Star", and just scads of short, punchy riffs by Dave Edmunds.

You've nailed it. That and the melodic interplay between Verlaine and Lloyd. "See No Evil" is played if not faster, but farther than anything being done at the time.

"Heartbreaker" is badass, but those riffs in "Trampled Underfoot" cannot be surpassed.

Robertson was/is capable of some great work, but Scorsese and Robertson were famously joined at the hip for the entire shoot.  He ignored one of the primary truths about The Band:  they were indeed a superior grouping of equally talented individuals.  Robertson claimed writing credit for the majority of compositions,…

"Steeltown" was, indeed, a magnificent album."Come Back To Me" is one of the most heartbreaking anthems of that decade.

Walsh is one of the most underrated musicians in America.  "Turn to Stone" is also one badass power chord motherfucker of a song.

I received my copy from Amazon, and it was in mint condition.  That has not always been the case with large omnibus and absolute editions.  Have received a couple with some serious dents and box gnome attacks

"Pressure Drop" in ANY cover will put a danceable lightning bolt in the ass of even middle-aged white farts like me.
