I saw this movie when it played the Wisconsin Film Festival, and I rather liked it at the time. It's a lot more fun and funnier you'd expect a film about a quadriplegic would be, making it a surprise crowd-pleaser (it won the audience award).

It's an ad from 1971, along the lines of Billy Dee Williams and Colt 45, wherein Geoffrey Holder sells sexy, sexy 7Up

Had to look up Geoffrey Holder. Found this: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

This is the first episode I have watched this season (actually my first in a few years). Here are my impressions based only on tonight. Feel free to tell me how wrong I am.

I would disagree that LOTR has a very clear cut definition of evil and virtue. Sure, on the one hand you have the overt, external source of evil that wants to overwhelm the world in a Manichean sense (Sauron). But there is also the more subtle, covert, internal manifestation of evil, which corrupts good intentions…

@avclub-b5e54b8379a1cec1ea981e47bfb5ada1:disqus I think that you and @avclub-0f0d67e214f9fef69b278e3d08114da9:disqus have both missed the point a little bit. It's not to suggest that teenagers have impeccable taste, nor that any and all culture you experience in your teens will remain exceptionally important to you.…

I guess I would ask whether you really loved Korn and Biohazard in the obsessive, world-defining way that teenagers have of loving things. If so, then,

"Give it five years, and get back to me."
Wow, Noel's wish is granted:

Why did R.E.M. mean so much to you? More than anything else, I think it's because it hit you at just the right time. You're telling a very specific version of a universal story, summed up by David Bordwell as the Law of the Adolescent Window:

"The full story is weirder and more personal than would be appropriate
for this site, even if it would make everybody involved (including
myself) look less like caricatures and more like human beings."

The Dead.

Well I'll be damned. Should have double checked before posting. I guess I was remembering that Karloff originated the role on Broadway, but I forgot they replaced him for the movie.

This movie is hilarious, but it features the one Cary Grant performance that I just don't like. Sure it's a screwball comedy, but his mugging doesn't jive with the tone set by the other actors, and he stands out as overly manic.

Season 5 of Lost ended with a nuclear explosion. I guess it's arguable whether the show has a "protagonist" per se, but two strong candidates—Jack and the Island itself—were definitely in the blast. Then again, that show also came back and had to un-nuke everybody… What I'm trying to say is, Lost and Sledge Hammer are…
