Huh? There have been three different releases. "The Best of the Spin Doctors" - an import, "Playlist: The Very Best of the Spin Doctors" - similar to the 20th Century Masters series, but looks cheaper. And then there's "Just Go Ahead Now: A Retrospective" None of these releases is more than a single CD.

I don't think the narrator's intention is to kill Superman. The line "I've got a pocket full of kryptonite" sounds much more like he can keep Superman away.

It's been awhile since I saw Stake Land, but I think it was the broad, more sprawling aspect of it. Most horror movies focus on confined locations, limit the number of locations. Both Zombieland and Stake Land spend a lot of time exploring the world, moving through a lot of different places, and using a few key

I wore out VHS copies of Mighty Ducks and D2. I saw D3 in theaters as a high school freshman. I need closure. I need to see Bombay one more time. He needs to come out of retirement for one last, big score.

I never felt like this was that similar to Walking Dead. It reminds me a little more of a bleak, non-comedic version of Zombieland.

I think it's hilarious that people who claim to love music so much spend so much time complaining about it. It's exceptionally rare that I find a song that I hate, and even then, I can usually find things about it that I like. When I DO hate a song, it's because it expresses an idea that I find reprehensible.

Whenever I want to watch this episode, it's never because of the main story. It's always that I remember the Lester & Eliza stuff. Those character designs are just perfectly done. They're off just enough that you feel like they're a step between the Simpsons universe and something else.
I rewatched this last week,

Proud to say that I've never owned a copy of this album, nor have I ever downloaded it.

It's hard to explain the effectiveness of The Haunting. I first saw it freshman year of high school, and I thought it was really creepy. I tried to get some other people to watch it, no one could sit through it. It's too slow for most modern tastes. Eventually, I got my wife to see it, and she got appropriately

I always felt like this season was a transition. There seemed to be a few episodes that felt a little more forced - I've never cared much for Marge Be Not Proud or Homerpalooza, or even King-Size Homer. But there are a good handful of episodes that almost feel like they belong to an earlier season. Team Homer,

I'm surprised I haven't. But I have occasionally answered with "Go." I think Kramer answered the phone that way in Seinfeld once.

The last shot is very, VERY difficult to see. It's actually easier to see it if you watch it at a faster speed. And even then, it's hard to see all of what's there. I wish someone would pose a quality youtube video that would highlight what's in the shot.

Did anyone else feel like this was a remarkably contemptuous Star Wars episode? There were a few decent jokes, but most of the jokes seemed to revolve around Penny being a jerk.
Of course, this isn't a surprise for the show.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the lobster harmonica. It's one of my favorite gags in this episode.
First, the existence of a lobster harmonica seems like the exact right type of prize for one of those claw machines to have.
Second, the brief moment of glee after Otto gets it, and blows through it, then runs away,

I said nothing of the sort. All I remember of MI:2 is explosions, motorcycles, and birds.

For a long time, this was probably my favorite episode. But I really burned out on this one, watching it over and over. Milhouse having the fantasy about his disguise is wonderfully child-like, in an innocent kind of way.
If anything, the only reason it isn't quite my favorite any longer is because it doesn't have a

I watched this after reading comments claiming that Triangle ripped this off. I was thoroughly disappointed with this. The story plays out obviously, the guy seems to be an idiot, and I don't think anyone learns anything. Of course, it's been a bit over a year since I watched it.

After watching Last Action Hero this afternoon, I agree. It's actually a really great idea, and the biggest problems stem from two issues. First, the direction isn't as wild as it should be. A more skilled director could have really nailed this project. Second, it actually would be better with someone other than

One of my favorite gags is the construction foreman with Bart's voice. It's silly, predictable, but the payoff is really pleasing.

I'm not really sure why this review has been re-posted.
I was a little wary of this, and my wife was very wary.  By the end though, we both liked it.  It's not up to the quality of the best episodes, but it ended with a nice feeling, and it didn't seem as… tween-oriented as expected.
