Also: Dracula, with Bela Lugosi.

The Love Symbol album made me get over my knee jerk compulsion to buy each new Prince album the day it came out. Sure, the album contains the sublime "Seven" and the underrated (by me, at least, for many, many years) "The Morning Papers". But it also contains pointless skits featuring Kirstie Alley, of all people. …

I'm beside myself with giddiness after having listened to that shizz!

Oooh get her! Whoops! I've got your number ducky. You couldn't afford me, dear. Two three. I'd scratch your eyes out. Don't come the brigadier bit with us, dear, we all know where you've been, you military fairy. Whoops, don't look now girls the major's just minced in with that dolly colour sergeant, two, three,…

I'll second a primer, or at least a GtG, on Sparks. It would be my dream, of course, for the guest author of said write up to be famous Sparks admirer, Moz.

But I will add that, like Noel Murray, I'm all *about* the music of Paul Williams, and I say that with absolutely zero irony. I just wish I could find a decent collection of his material on CD, or some such (I've had no success with bit torrent, either). "When the River Meets the Sea", bitches!

Elitist Trash - Just how old are you?

I really, really wanna see Mr. Rabin write about/shit all over(?) the likes of Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, et al. Please don't make me wait too long!

Pinkney Seabrook - *Giggle*!

Kurgan and D.R. - Point conceded about Cameron (I've never read the script; guess it's required reading after eyeing the tantalizing tidbits you parceled out, Robuttnik).

ZMF speaks truth.

This news fills me with neither joy nor dread, as I've always (well, okay, not *always* - when I was but a lad I waited with baited breath for a Spidey segment on The Electric Company every week) found Spider-Man to be a boring character in the comics (he's this average kid with average problems; he gets bit by a…

Wrong again, Grey Man. The song was originally recorded for Thunderball.

*with fondness. Um, about Twilight and Transformers. From my previous post.

I'm willing to agree that my enjoyment of watching (many, many times, in fact) ToD may stem from having first seen it during my formative years (it's the same reason that today's youth will look back on dreck like the Star Wars prequels and the Transformers and Twilight affronts to humanity, uh, I mean franchises),…

Villain: Auric Goldfinger, with close runners up Ernst Stavro Blofeld (the *unseen* Blofeld of Dr. No, From Russia With Love, and Thunderball), Kananga/Mr. Big, and Franz Sanchez.

Jim Rockford got me thinking: what's the best Bond song? The worst?

Bruce Vilanch.

Dr. Acula, I, too, think that YOLT deserves far more love than it usually gets. I mean, come on, it's got the single greatest Ken Adam set in the whole series: the fucking HOLLOWED OUT VOLCANO! Also, it's set in Japan (a plus for any movie), and it's got some of the most quotable dialogue of any Bond flick, courtesy…
