Strange, when I reported to jury duty I brought either The Illustrated Man or The Martian Chronicles (I can't remember which) with me to read.

Really? Fall Out Boy is the straw that broke the back on this one?

I think I may have seen that bit. Maybe it inspired my comment. Even so, Wheel of Fortune requires far more neurons than any activity ever carried out on Deal or No Deal. Although there was the one guy on the Wheel that thought the answer was "from soup to nupe".

I think Irreversible is probably a completely different movie between going in cold and going in knowing (roughly) what to expect. My wife (though we were just dating at the time) wanted to see this when it was playing at a local art house on its theatrical release. She didn't know much about it and I knew absolutely

Just adding to the Jeopardy love. King of the game shows. My favorite though is, locally at least, when Jeopardy ends and Deal or No Deal begins. Like crossing the tracks from MENSA-ville to find yourself in Retard Land.

Deformable Terrain in Star Fighter
Anyone ever play Star Fighter for 3DO (though it might've been released for Playstation at some point)?

Happy Hour of the Dead
Matinee of the Dead
In A Minute of the Dead
So, When Do You Want To Meet Up? Is 8 ok? No, How About 9 Though? 9 It Is Then! of the Dead

Err, wax cylinders.

I didn't even see Child's Play (the one genre other than porn that was off limits was horror) but the random TV and newspaper ads still scared me off My Buddy.

Damn! Beaten to the punch. At least I still have my Rosebud frozen peas; full of country goodness and green peaness.

The Hudsucker Proxy was so good, it made Hud look like C.H.U.D., and I loved C.H.U.D.!

I just sent in FortiFido as a suggestion. That's peanut butter, spearmint, lemongrass or parsley flavored water. Bottoms up!

Ghost In The Machine
For a while, I thought that the plan to send back a re-programmed terminator to be dangerously stupid. I thought this when I saw T2 and I thought the same when this series started.

No. Actually it's just one stay at home mom from Oregon that flirts with various new age religions. Rumor has it she bought more than one ticket to Fireproof despite going alone.

I don't know why everyone assumes fundamentalist Christians drove Fireproof's relative box office success. There's a pretty sizable rabid Kirk Cameron cult out there which, ironically, has strong Wicca and Scientology influences.

airport trouble?
I think he was detained for causing a ruckus in some Midwest airport a while back, also a Bruno stunt.

That day doesn't exist, those series were all on in different years. The 90s did have a good run though, just not all at the same time.

Vernors 4 life!
