What shows can be held up that died w/ dignity? I haven't seen the end of The Sopranos but heard that the ending was frustratingly inconclusive. I can only hold up Breaking Bad as a successful show that held out until the very end. Everyone raves about Battlestar Galactica, need to get caught up on that one.

Zed was a creepy sado-security guard. Don't think he was a cop.

The first Brendon Fraisier Mummy movie is one of my all time favorites. It's my goto flick when I just want to sit down and enjoy. The self awareness is awesome, "You know, nasty little fellows like you always get their comeuppance in the end. Always." Has there been a better toadie since Bennie? No, there

Squirrel Girl has claws, amazing climbing ability, and the power to store superhuman amounts of stuff in her cheeks. Fuck you, Wolverine!

Yeah the zombie-face reveal and Maximillian were pretty damn scary. I remember thinking Maximillian's spinning blades were the coolest thing ever… until he shredded Anthony Perkins. The scene was bloodless but that scream stayed with me for a long, long time.

The Red Skull… a villain that wants to conquer the world and admonishes his chief underling not to scratch his car. Loved it.

Enjoyed the makeup/disguise opening of the show. Great actor. It must be a bit disconcerting for that guy, a german actor, to be best known in the USA playing nasty nazi types. But, you know, that's show biz!

Rocket Punch.

Nope, I'm totally good w/ Cream.

Eric Clapton. Can't do it. Everyone loves Layla but to me it's a trite, drawn out and whiny guitar solo. Cocaine is bearable.

Lockhart's like a evil camp counselor from Meatballs who ends up hanging by his underwear from a tree at the end of the show. I'm waiting what form his comeupppance will arive in.

Come to think of it… HALESTORM, for god's sake. The ultimate proof that grunge didn't matter (and why that's a bad, bad thing) = Halestorm. It's Motley Crue with a female lead singer and yet… the SAME MESSAGE!

I guess grunge didn't matter because rock bands have gone back to making shitty music. Say what you want about marketing, pretention, etc. but at least it was powerful, interesting music. Alice In Chains, the Toadies, Soundgarden… my god do I miss them. The classic rock stations in Chicago (we have about 8 of them)

Don't forget the guy peeling his face away in front of the mirror.

1. The clown in Poltergeist… and the tree.
2. Does anyone remember Lord of Illusions? Can't remember if it was good but the cultists kneewalking across broken glass in adulation scared the crap out of me years ago.
3. The cheap shot in The Ring where the scene flashed to the girl who had died of fright. That scared

Movie was definitely amazing.  I was blown away by the opening scene, way before the debris even started flying.  Someone beat me to the punch by saying she landed in N. Korea in the end, but I thought Somalia would be more fun… maybe a Captain Philips crossover!

Yeah, buth the movie would be much more controversial if the crowd were all Metallica haters and skeptics.  They should have faked a Kings of Leon concert and had Metallica come out.

You know they're going to Newhart this ending, right?

Now I want to see the Macbeth dinner scene w/ a purple tablecloth!

Right.  Well, it's easier since Sith Lords don't throw acid into the faces of little girls that want to go to school.
