Sorry if this has already been mentioned - "Frank." The first half was patchy but intriguing, the storyline went off the rails when the band arrives at SXSW, the final scene + song with the reunited band redeemed everything for me.

I dunno, he makes me laugh as the befuddled dad on "Girls."

Yeah, the MAD magazine satire, "Flopeye", made light of this, with the cartoon version of Popeye making snide commentary outside of the panels. "I mean, I yam what I yam, but that guy wasn't EVEN close!"

"Moose Jaw??, Hahahahahaha…"

My theory is that the current batch of alt-comedians like to have him around b/c he's a throwback to the Borscht Belt/Friar's Club roast comics.

Dude, spoilers!

Jezabel went forty days drinking nothing but Perrier.
Dinah drove her Chevorlet into the San Francisco Bay.
Judy came from Ohio, she's a Scientologist.
Amaranda, here's a kiss, I chose you to end this list.

How about Jerry "Hesh Rabkin" Adler as Jerry Heller?

I always found it odd that Chris Barron looked like a clean-cut rockabilly guy in the inner CD sleeve photo of "Pocket…", but had transformed into his gyrating crunchy persona by the time they hit MTV and magazine covers.

I don't cringe when I hear the Stone Temple Pilots on the radio, but if you're an aspiring musician and openly name-check them as an influence, bye-bye (this actually happened.)

That happened to me with Peter Bogdonavich's "They All Laughed." Your experience is better.

He's gotta be a pain to work with. How do you go from a string of memorable + critically-acclaimed films in the '00s to a straight-to-VOD Broken Lizard movie in 2012?

Deluxe remastered edition of "Sign O' The Times" with bonus material FTW (hopefully.)

Walked out with several cut-out bin cassettes from the college bookstore in early '91 (tapes were on their way down, but not completely obsolete back then.) The ones I remember are "See How We Are" by X and (Little) Stevie Wonder's Greatest Hits.

Yep, after reading the headline my first thought was how Sean Hannity was going to spin this against Obama. I'll just have to follow the advice of that advertising executive from "The Simpsons": "Just don't look, just don't look."

The "Final Fight" arcade game. In addition to an Andre the Giant doppelganger (Andore Jr.) , Axl Rose and Slash popped up as villains (although "Slash" looked more like a muscular Michael Jackson impersonator.)

Peter Bagge's "Hate", "21 Jump Street" (downhill during the 4th season, when Depp appeared less and less), and (hate to say it) the New Pornographers (can't really appreciate any album after "Twin Cinema.")

So people take these unsalaried positions in Hollywood (AMPAS President, producer of the Academy Awards) for prestige, or because they don't need the money, or both of the above? Not trying to be snarky, I'm just curious about "the biz".

Mike Nesmith's surprise birthday party from "Head" (before he throws the s**t fit.)

Sorry. This reminds me of the toothless adult-alternative-lite versions of "Alone Again Or" or "Love is the Drug" that I hear when I'm at Whole Foods.
