OK, that helped with a couple I couldn't place, like the First Men in the Moon vehicle.

Fish-Man: WHAT'S ALL THIS SHOUTING?!?

I gotta say Burl, I was proud merely for having spotting that Morlock and figuring out who Richard Matheson was.  For you to recognize The Car is something rather remarkable.

I will also award points for two of the cast of Freaks, a Morlock, the Thing (from another world), and Lon Chaney Sr in London After Midnight.

I guess his references to the Penguin editorial staff as "subhuman" have now been brushed aside.

That so sucks— I was wondering if it was a music rights issue that was keeping it from release.  But if the actual soundtrack has somehow been degraded that's obviously a more serious problem.

Somehow I missed this post when I mentioned Get Crazy below.  As fictional rockshows go, that's always going to be the big one for me.

That's what a concert should be.  Seeing that as a youngster has spoiled endless club visits in later life.

Oh come on— no one's seen Get Crazy?

And she's always right there, right?  I'll be honest, it gives me the fantods.

That "…Wait, what was controversial about it?" made me laugh out loud.

Yeah, pretty much everyone is "easy" or "great" to work with.  Seagal, Peckinpah, Hoffman…

I got this damn landlord…

But she told me it was an emergency.  What was I going to say?

It's a shame.  I used to recommend Writing in Restaurants and True and False to people because they really did have an impact for me.  I can't do that these days without going into a whole "That was then, this is now" prologue, which usually seems like more trouble than it's worth.

I'm tempted to say Secret Honor, but probably Nashville takes it for me.

And he really came a long way as a public speaker.

Not to quibble, but I do think that, even to "mainstream audiences", Marilyn Chambers is best known for being a porn star.

@avclub-e38d7d01bb3addc2e58724fe04de73e8:disqus OK, yes, but I'm just going to say this?  The voice… it kinda … kinda works for me…  if you know what I mean.

Well you just squat over the punchbowl with your nethers dipping in the punch and then leave it up to God.
