The whole album is pretty good. Thunder Road opens with that harmonica that sounds like you're on a porch swing and just builds to to a more optimistic 'fuck you' to the town, especially with the 'skeletons exhumed from shallow graves' line that was replaced by 'skeletons / Chevrolets'. And Jungleland, with the…

Looking at google images, she does sort of have anime hair and eyes. Her hair styles usually frame her face well.

Springsteen would have been a horrible choice, though. He's way more pessimistic and downbeat than Seger. Although he does have that apocalyptic vibe that fits Detroit to a T.

I don't know if she's pretty or just ridiculously cute.

I imagine that he doesn't even have a bed. Just an upright cryogenic chamber / coffin that he leans back into each night. And the back moves forward to push him upright every morning.

I don't hold that against him. As a Detroit area native, and with the threat of Japanese market dominance at the time, it doesn't seem like he was selling out as much as supporting another local brand. I mean, the money was probably nice, but I feel like he would have supported them either way.

I kind of can't stand Hey, Jude, and I'm tired of Stairway, but Night Moves is still good. Beats the NYC area where it's always a tradeoff between Stairway and Born to Run. Everyone knows that Jungleland is the best song on that album, anyway. Maybe Thunder Road.

I think it's in the liner notes for one of his greatest hits albums, but he mentions not knowing if Hollywood Nights was going to be a hit until he was driving along the highway one night while listening to it on their session tapes for the day, and he looked down to see that his speed had gradually crept up over 100…

Totally. Seger is fantastic. Everything up through 'Nine Tonight' is practically essential listening. Even my kids love Live Bullet.

You're such a smartass. Get back on the floor.

That scene is awesome, especially how he goes out of his way to flip him off.
Also, the scene in the alley, with both of them in their underwear - the way Hines braces his legs is hilarious, especially next to Crystal - he's practically doing a full split.

I barely remember the video. But the way they used the song in the movie was just masterful. I'm pretty sure that the first time they show any sun / greenery was when this song kicked off. Up until that point, the whole movie is pretty grey, with all the scenes set at night or in snowy, dark Chicago. Even the bar…

Mexican / Sikh cuisine will give you an 'ethnic stew', that's for sure.

Try reversing the order on that. It'll be a lot easier that way.

They're both good, quotable, funny and had good soundtracks. Stakeout might take the lead with a a topless Madeleine Stowe, but I'll watch either whenever they're on.

I love this movie, and this song. I'll forever associate them with a summer vacation to Florida - my cousins, siblings and I watched it the night before my parents came down, and the whole 'Sweet Freedom' thing really struck home for us.

She was also on an episode of House, as a patient of some sort. I saw the intro scene on TV a few nights ago and knew that I knew who she was but couldn't remember until I saw her name in the credits.

Is he the proto-Duncan Idaho?

That's the thing that bugged me with Park / Sato. Park looks Korean (becuase, Duh!), so why make her character Japanese unless there's a compelling plot reason. Why not just have her be Korean on the show. It's the whole interchangeable foreigner thing.

My kids (currently aged 16 and 13) were completely unable to understand my stunned reaction to the teaser trailer for the 2009 Star Trek movie (the one with Enterprise under construction and the space exploration quotes). I realized then that I had failed as a father - they knew nothing at all about Star Trek.
