Heh — guess we were both a little confused. I've never actually seen Holiday Inn (and now I really don't want to) and you didn't mean to write that White Christmas was a racist movie. Still seems kinda weird to hold a grudge against a song just because of the film it was featured in, unless the songwriter and the…

And the reveal that one of Harpo's versions is being performed for his horse? Sublime.

I'm also a fan of Kermit the Frog's version, inexplicably included on one of those Muppet Show soundtrack albums… you know, for kids.

"White Christmas" was not originally from the film White Christmas, so you can't blame the former for the crimes of the latter.

It's all good, as these are the three best, so why quibble over ranking?
Is there any fat in Monkey Business? I don't even think the plot gets introduced for nearly a half hour and it's still mostly just incidental to the insanity, at least til they're off the ship.

See, I totally get being a VH fan but not liking "Jump". But how can you be a VH fan and not like "Top Jimmy" or "House Of Pain", let alone "Panama" or "Hot For Teacher"?

I have to give the nod to Sloppy Seconds on that one, although the whole Fleshtones Christmas album is pretty fantastic.

Frankly (no pun intended), I'll take the Lou Rawls version. I mean, if you're gonna "jolly up" this tune, you might as well go whole hog:

Eh, who cares which one is better when they're both this good? Especially given that The Crystals version is better than either of'em. (Also good: The Revillos, Booker T. And The MGs, Ella Fitzgerald, The Harmony Grits, The Ventures, Johnny Mercer, and the amazing version by Joseph Spence which… well… you should…

I'd be surprised if you didn't like at least one of the versions by this group of cool cats: Count Basie, Booker T and the MG's, Sammy Davis Jr., Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Flat Duo Jets, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Oscar Peterson, The Rev. Horton Heat, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Frank Sinatra, The Ventures, and…

I've been making an annual Christmas mix for 14 years now and this and the notion that "Santa Claus got drunk" is inherently hilarious are the two laziest songwriter moves I routinely encounter. Knock it off, songwriters!

While I grant that the chemistry between Rosalind and Coulson was entertaining, I thought Rosalind's character was kinda weak overall and with the reveal that she was unknowingly working for Hydra (and the subsequent murder of her second-in-command) she would no longer have had any narrative function within the show,…

I'm not going to read the comments and just assume they're all people arguing about the fact that none of these words rhyme.

I found it boring and unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, it's not like the worst thing ever or anything, it was just kinda standard fare, I thought. Certainly Russell's been in far worse.

Walsh is great in it, but it's a pretty lame script, IMHO.

Meh. It's OK. Nothing special. But Russell is fine in it, to be sure.

If Goldie needs Kurt's current income for financial security then she's either got the worst financial advisor in the history of economics or she blows through money faster than Richard Pryor in Brewster's Millions.

Yeah, I should have included this in my very short list above of "Kurt Russell movies I enjoy."

Kurt Russell is… a bit of an oddity.
When I look over his ouevre, I am struck by the fact that he's made very, very few movies I enjoy but the ones I do enjoy are some of my very favorite movies and a big part of that is Russell himself (and although he's in mostly terrible movies, he's almost never the problem — he…

Well, I didn't have to look it up since I watched this episode where they explained it, but I was unfamiliar with the term. Of course, I got a vasectomy ten years ago, so why would I need to know this?
