Would that be his Indian wife and the time they cut to him putting his boots back on?

And with this rant, Ben Affleck has lost the right to complain about Internet comic book nerds' obsessions.

Disco creeps in on 1976's "Children of the World". Maaybe a little on 1975's "Main Course" but, honestly, before you would even get to the disco period, there's a whole period that is skippable (at least for now, if you get really really into them, go for it because there are some strong tracks).

The weird thing is, "Kick in the Head" is at least as good as the album released on either side of it. I don't understand why that was the one to be rejected. None of the three is great or terrible, they're all decent-to-solid / nothing special.

I'm guessing that Robin quitting the band for a year, starting them on a string of less successful albums (both in terms of sales and artistically), so the mid-'70's. They also have a lot of albums in the '90's that are practically worthless (though, man, they can still hit those crazy notes).

Yeah, the story is that the producer said "Can any of you scream?" and Barry said sure and the producer said "Can you scream falsetto on-pitch?" and he said "We'll see!" and they recorded his BG vocals, and you can really hear how much fun he is having by the end.

"Idea" slightly nudges out "First" for me, but it's close. Going by just the album tracks, I might even lean towards "First", but the bonus tracks kick "Idea" over for me.

Interesting (?) story along those lines. I was set up on sort of a business-blind-date, "Would you like to work with this guy?" kind of meeting. And he brought along the guitar player from Twisted Sister, who I immediately clicked with way better than the guy I was supposed to meet. And he and I were talking about…

I had no idea that "Odessa" had become the go-to reference for early Bee Gees. It's a good album but, yeah, The White Album is a good comparison. I have always thought "Idea" was their best album, especially the expanded one. The next few albums after "Odessa" all have killer tracks but nothing quite as cohesive as…

Jive Talkin' is in my music shuffle, and as soon as I hear that "da-dum, da-DUM" I smile.

The Kinks may never have been the single best rock group, but the length of time when they put out quality music is longer than any of their contemporaries. The Bee Gees are close, though.

I love the Bee Gees, but I can agree that they were never really revolutionary. They're not breaking new ground, but what they do is great.

Maybe not the best example, because "Walking Dead" actually used that song very well a few years back, but I agree with the general point.

And "Walking Dead". The best thing "Walking Dead" ever did was use "Spicks and Specks".

I can agree with this, but Solondz makes me laugh at jokes that nobody else would make, so I tend to… well, maybe not "enjoy" his movies, exactly, but appreciate them. I liked "Palindromes", but I haven't caught up with "Life During Wartime" or "Dark Horse" yet, so I doubt I'll see this one in a theater. But I'm…

Garfield wasn't allowed to act like a nerd and was hired because he looked older than a high school kid. It was a deliberate choice by Sony because somebody important at Sony didn't want Spider-Man to be a high school nerd.

If only Hollywood could learn to aspire to the creative heights of 90210.

You mean a picture of what she looked like at 28 doesn't seem appropriate to you for an article about what happened to Elizabeth Banks when she was 28?

On the one hand, that was a retcon. On the other hand, the main conceptual joke of "Wet Hot American Summer" in either incarnation is that the actors are clearly too old to play camp counselors.

The initial conception of the character was that he was essentially the insecure teenage sidekick, except that he wasn't a sidekick. He called himself "Spider-Man" despite being a teenager, it was a deliberate choice by the character.
