If there's one thing I've found the internet to be, it's merciful

I loved "The Addams Family" movie - here is another in a long line of stories I read somewhere a long time ago that, 5 minutes from now when I Google it, I'll realize I'm remembering it wrong, but it's an "art vs commerce" story and I love those so here goes…

I thought I was riffing on the exact same old pop culture reference Modusoperandi riffed on, but instead of "riffing" turns out I was merely "whiffing"… Sad.

Oh dang - killed by Google but in a way that I didn't see coming… the band in "It's Your Move" was Dregs of Humanity. Scum of the Earth was from "WKRP in Cincinnati".

I'm probably getting this wrong (I'll google it here in a minute and find that I'm off by a mile) but I seem to remember the guy on "It's Your Move" (Jason Bateman's adversary) is also the guy who played the neighbor on "Married With Children" for the first few seasons, then left (replaced by Ted McGinley) to pursue

Indeed - I guess I just don't pay enough attention to things generally, so I'm aware that he should shut the fuck up a bit but I'm really just taking everyone else's word for it

I hear you, but the fact that he isn't nice hasn't prevented me from being a Smths/Moz fan. For all I know a nicer person wouldn't be capable of writing songs as well or lyrics as funny.

Take it easy man, it was just a joke, get off my back!

Right - I don't think it was like "he hated the song and insisted that nobody mention it or even hum the melody in his presence"… but rather "he hated the song but it became a hit song so he said 'oh well' and embraced it so he could make some money, but the whole time he was like 'I can't believe people like this

"Take On Me" literal version is great too

One of the things I learned on "Pop-Up-Video" on VH1 was that he actually hated that song too

for some reason I'm wanting to spell it with a "k" and for it to have a "u" in there somewhere, but maybe I'm overthinking it?

How do you spell her pronunciation of the word "clown" in "Femme Fatale"?

Who the fuck are the Knudsens?

Helen Mirren gets a lot of credit, and rightly so, for being smokin' hot into her 60's and now 70's, but I'd put Dina Merrill in "Caddyshack 2" (at age 65 in 1988) as right up there too.

"Good Burger" = good movie

Eddy Grant did a song for "Romancing The Stone" and they didn't use it
