I get your point, and I wasn't as cool or pretty as Natalie Portman, but I kind of *was* that girl. I had much older siblings, so I knew all of pop culture references of the generation 10 years older than me. I also knew my brothers' friends got a kick out of it and so I'd pull out the references to impress them. …

I watched it recently on TV on a random Saturday afternoon and it holds up. I am really annoyed by the whole Raging Bull controversy. I think people assume OP is a sappy movie and it's quite the opposite. By the time I saw Raging Bull, I was like, "I don't get it. How is this supposed to be light-years…

I didn't even know this existed. Thanks!!

I love Get Together. It's still in heavy rotation on my treadmill playlist.

It's tough to get indignant about this list when every time I think of I song that's missing, I think of 3 more from the same album.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! You just made my day.

I listened the sh*t out of that album. Unfortunately, she/her record company tried to market herself as a *poet* and then it got harder to take her seriously.

I'll check out this record. Hammond Song is about their only track I know. The contralto-voices and vibrato-free harmonizing are haunting and oddly compelling. The other stuff I've heard from them is the more cutsie/folksy/sleep-inducing Wainwright/MacGarrigle stuff that makes me want to rip my ears off.

I was crying SO HARD during that scene. I can't even think about that episode without tearing up…as is happening right now.

That is the first ER episode I thought of…I think it's the most memorable episode for me, period. Brutally devastating. I *have* watched it in reruns because it's JUST. SO. GOOD.

A lot of their stuff *before* Kick was really good. "Face the Change," etc…great stuff. And yes, he was a beautiful man with beautiful hair. RIP.

No, he didn't write that headline himself, and actually he was sort of a genius. He had a photographic memory (in as much as such a thing exists), and was a very insightful and sensitive person. Search around for some of his interviews.

Definitely one of the iciest characters ever on tv. There was no let-up. No moments of lightness, nothing to chuckle about. Just unrelenting cold.

I use Podcast Addict. I've never had any problems with it and it's free.

My brother and I called it "Crappy Scrooge" and it was our tradition to watch it on Christmas eve when my parents were at Midnight Mass/post-Midnight Mass party. I think they showed it every year on WGN, right?

We did St. Nick's Day too. I barely remember it because at some point when I was a kid, we stopped doing it. You knew my dad (Polish side of the family) was in charge of it because it basically involved us waking up to find that St. Nicholas had left a Reese's or a Kit Kat bar next to our cereal bowl. No fancy…

Boooooooo….hissssssssssssssssss

Was that a big piece of cake or what???

When Pee-wee's original special was playing on HBO, I remember my parents getting me out of bed to come watch it with them. They knew I wouldn't get all the sexual innuendo (I was probably 4 or 5), so it was just really silly and funny to me. Our entire family went to see Pee-wee's Big Adventure in the theater. …

That is definitely my favorite line in the movie. It gets me every time. And of course, "…for a while….for a while…"
