Spackler's Revenge

I found it weird that a lot of the characters who do have families (children) wound up being ones who moved away: Toby, Darryl, Stanley (not to mention Ryan, who actually abandoned his baby).

It's weird, because the finale we were watching was supposedly meant to be a DVD extra for the PBS documentary. If it were the actual end of the documentary itself, you'd think PBS would have gotten her for the reunion or at least sent a cameraman out to wherever she is to record her thoughts on the whole

I'd be surprised if it was rights/licensing issues that was keeping them from releasing "Dream On." I thought the whole reason they created that show was that the studio (Universal/MCA?) owned all these old movies wholesale and wanted to make use of them for free.

Sounds like Red Shoe Diaries, but that was on Showtime.

Man, I was trying to find a good video of Sophie Masloff on YouTube, because if you just tried to explain her to people they'd never believe you.

Note that "subway tunnel" is singular.

I seriously think the post-game fireworks would get better ratings.

Who were the other two judges (aside from Clay Aiken) on the reality singing show? Also, what was Andy's reason for disappearing and coming back dressed as an old man? Was that supposed to help his chances in the competition somehow?

If the movie focuses on a younger Mr. Rogers, say, the early years of getting the TV show off the ground, I'd say Colin Hanks would be a decent choice.

I love how every time Mr. Rogers is mentioned on this site, there's always a thread in the comments about how awesome Pittsburgh is.

I love these parodies so much. You can tell the woman playing Tom is having a blast busting out(!) her third-rate impression.

I could see where that might get confusing.

I think the meandering worked really well—it was well-suited to the novel format, and King's style especially. Most anyone who's ever spent much time looking at old newspapers or vintage photographs has entertained the fantasy of wondering what it'd be like to actually live during those times—not just visit to

"300-page novel." Ha!

Girl Happy is my favorite Elvis movie. A lot of the lighter films like Viva Las Vegas are humorous without being funny, but Girl Happy has actual jokes in it, and is probably the closest in format to a lightweight comedy you might see nowadays. Plus, his sidekicks in this one are his wisecracking band members which

Prediction: Harrison Ford plays Fred Willard's dad.

Take a good, long look at her book cover when you're imagining said handjob, will you?

Oddly enough, I snuck into Basic Instinct by buying a ticket for the also-R-rated Lethal Weapon 3.
