"No Running" is essentially the dumbest rule ever. You just cannot keep a kid from running, why not stop the ocean's tides while you're at it!

When I was in preschool there was a playground the CPSC hadn't gotten around to yet; the stuff was still from the 60's and early 70's. By far the favorite was a big metal tub with a wheel in the middle that spun the tub around by "turning" it, like the Disney Teacup ride. All the kids were addicted to it, trying to

The internet seems to have forgotten the Cage-worthy masterpiece that is Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

RIP Saturday morning cartoons that kept kids occupied while parents slept off their hangovers: 1960 - 2014.

Man, you just don't get practical advice like that on commercial kids' shows anymore. It's a shame.
With more dogs in public these days, the "hand sniff rule" should be changed, though: If it's a dog by itself or stranger's dog (as in you don't know the owner), just leave it alone. Only touch a dog if you know the

PBS is the only network that offers commercial-free children's programming that is solely focused on education. You wouldn't believe the amount of PhD and pediatrician studies that go into a show like Dinosaur Train and Daniel Tiger. Also, every kids program clocks out to 28 minutes with no breaks.

The Mountain should have spectacularly killed them all, then smash cut to the High Sparrow saying, "What the blazes is taking them so long?"

I was hoping to see Drogon absolutely torch the Masters' ships after dropping Dany off at the pyramid, but the $ had to go to the Winterfell fight next week.

Since when is Bee Movie iconic?!

"Good job, Homer! You'll have another story on your house by the time you get home!"
(Hank Scorpio: Dream Boss)

The best band name I can never say around Grandma.

Aaahhh, GENE!!!
Isn't he the best!?

- Hey guys, I wrote a song!
- You know what? I'm gonna put it right here on the refrigerator!
(Ringo is cool, but that's never not funny)

Finally, a Hatesong I can support with gusto!
You don't even have to listen to The Wanderer more than once to know it's horrible: "Oh, yeah, now that I listen to the lyrics…" The horribleness is right there!
That and Travelin' Man: "My China Doll in old Hong Kong…" suck a dick, Nelson.
Basically, most pop music before

I get why little kids love it because it's pretty to look at and small children have not yet developed any cultural taste (the last movie they see or watch three times is always "the best").
But for the life of me I don't get why grown-ass adults are obsessed with it. The overall plot absolutely sucks, the one good

When I break even in poker I say, "Like Barry Lyndon, I'm back where I started, just a little worse for wear." Nobody at the table knows what the hell I'm talking about.

The Dr Who sketch Robot Chicken did is great because I totally identify with The Nerd: Dr Who should be awesome, but it's "less cool than I thought."

Robert Schwentke directed "Flightplan". They should have used the Kansas song Carry On My Wayward Son in the trailer.

When I first read about this movie's plot, I thought, "Oh it's a dark comedy like Cadillac Man or King Of Comedy." Too bad Foster could never grasp such a concept.

To show that they get it, they get it, man.
