You are correct.

Brian denounced the c. 2000 Stamos-produced TV biopic as inaccurate, but
where that and this overlap (Stamos began at the beginning and ended
well before Landy), they are pretty much in agreement on everything. There are several very similar scenes (the most notable being Murray taunting Brian by playing "I Live for…

That was a well-crafted episode of 30 Rock where that was parodied.

Yeah, I'll give it a shot… I mean, it's my job, right?

I thought Generation Y and Millennial were supposed to be synonymous.

Oh, yeah, I certainly have seen movies where the protagonist has a dead battery/bad reception/etc. - but it has to be explained; it can never be assumed anymore.

It isn't true, but I think that I personally have heard it claimed about college more commonly than about childhood.

Actually, my memory was slightly off - it comes from the pre-Mayer logo of Goldwyn Pictures. But my understanding is that there is really no generic word for "art" in classical Latin - "ars" means the art of something (e.g., ars poetica = the art of poetry).

I think you are compressing the timeline a bit. The murders occurred on June 13 and were certainly a big deal in the four days between then and the chase on June 17. The chase was the climax of a building story, not an event out of nowhere.

This is not the first time this has been discussed here, and it is a strange paradox. I think the Internet and especially cell phones have drastically altered daily life - any novel/movie/TV episode whose plot depends on being in some sort of distress or danger but unable to reach your family or friends (a fairly…

That would be pretty useful today. Technology has actually marched backwards!

Calvin was also a troublemaker, however. If your son is well-behaved (not asking you for further details, but if he is), that might explain the failure to identify with Calvin. Charlie Brown (as someone mentioned above) is a better example of someone who is diligent and plays by the rules yet is also defined by his…

Neil Armstrong? Buzz Aldrin will go to the opening of a can of tuna fish, but for someone to lure Armstrong onto TV is pretty impressive.

Actually, the English version came earlier and Mayer (or his underlings) made up the Latin version. The real original is the French - "l'art pour l'art."

I think "American Pie" was split up a few years later, which is why "Hey Jude" is considered the longest Billboard Number One even though "American Pie" as a song was longer.

I wish this had not degenerated into name-calling on both sides, but you make a valid point that those of us born post-1960s often forget. Before Yoko, Linda, peace activism, vegetarianism, solo careers that arguably exacerbated the worst tendencies of both men, a zillion biographies, etc., the differences in…

See, I find that much more justifiable because that is about an event that purportedly will actually take place in 2015. I am sick of the seemingly endless parade of mere anniversaries of things.

Apparently in Britain "Yes It Is" is considered one of their classics. Whenever I hear it praised (or even mentioned), it is always by a British person. I even remember one English columnist who claimed it was his favorite pop song of all time!

I think they have not included covers on either list.

I kind of think "Awkward Alex" would be a better name for this feature - or even "Mean Alex," but "Asshole" seems too strong for most of them.
