From another episode, Brendon's impression of Lynch - "Uh, I'm just an idiot, and uh I'm an idiot…"

Agreed, but a bigger question would be why pick on Kiss (a hundred million plus records sold - one of the biggest in history, hardly an exercise in failure) and why pick on poor Peter Criss?  But it didn't seem that way.  It seemed like a blanket-bash on the solo records and the group…

Lude and Otto - "I'm in Need of Love" fucking burns my soul, one of my favorites, and my favorite was always Ace (he was the most human to me), so I had no problem digging into the subsequent solo work, which is still easily some of the best pop-metal of the late 80's.

I feel like Frehley's and Simmons' are the easiest to listen to and enjoy.  Paul Stanley's is very California pop-rock-sounding, like "Unmasked" while Criss' is just not my style, very up-and-down, retro 50's and blue-eyed soul, but agreed they're not terrible albums in the slightest.

Just one more - "I said the missing kids are in uh-da coffee shops…"

"I could POTENTIALLY get involved with a co-worker."

Kinda sounds like "Mr. Brownstone" from GNR.

I always giggle when I talk to my accountant because he sounds just like Junior and Ken…

I remember my Aunt Marlene was a psycho Hall & Oates fan.  Going over to her house when I was a kid, those albums were always playing on the shiny Technics turntable…memories, ah!

Didn't that record spawn a hit single that got a lot of airplay in the US and on MTV?  Or am I thinking of Steve Perry?

It's Thee Smiling Politely.

I don't think you are actually Billy Corgan.  You're forgetting your work on Ron Howard's "Ransom" - "GIVE ME BACK MY SON!!!!"

Agreed, but the KISS-bashing is getting old.  Varying degrees of suck, or something to that effect?  Each record has it's own merits and shipped platinum - more than any of the records on the list combined.  So what's the issue?  Each member subsequently released additional solo albums.  They did it because they could

"Yes, as in correct, is what I think I should focus on?"

That's the best thing I've ever seen!

You hit it on the head that's he was the Assistant, but not the director, so if I were to ask questions about personal interpretations (which I wouldn't, mind you), I would seek out Kubrick, if he were still alive. But - and this is a big one - Kubrick, in interviews, never bothered with questions like that.  He

I was really turned off by Vitali's attitude and dismissal of the movie in the Times piece.  His attitude (surprisingly) struck me as one of being class-A douche.  He, of all people, should be aware of the items of obsession, the drive behind making the movie (no matter what he personally feels of the content), and

My response to both comments is that Spector and Clarkson, for an unspecified amount of time, engaged in some sort of sexual activity, evidenced by the semen on her dress and that she took one of the many guns he kept around the house and decided to kill herself because she was distraught at the course she believed

No, the problem was Mamet and his seeming "starfuckery" attitude - look at all the reactions shots he puts on Mirren's character as she walks through the mansion in the beginning of the movie.  No.  Mamet seriously wants to fuck Phil Spector.

That's nothing.  Just last week, the Family Guy reviewer practically called Seth MacFarlane the Devil, for crying out loud.  A load of these reviewers are nothing more than petulant children with better typing skills.
