You forgot the bit where Big Jim yells "Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!"

Please. I want someone to make a supercut of all of the times the word "dome" is said. And maybe all of the times someone says something like "it's what the dome wants!"
My parents were having their anniversary, and were looking for something to go see in theaters.
Having just seen it twice - one day and then the next - I recommended that they go see EVENT HORIZON. My parents were probably about 60 at the time. I have no idea why I said this. My mom is blind, and my dad usually…
I've read and re-read the Twilight Zone Companion, and somehow, I didn't remember either of these episodes, so I just watched them.
Queen of the Nile telegraphs the ending so firmly from the start, it's hard to feel like they were trying. I did like the much more bleak ending. I found her hairdo weirdly fascinating.
I like most of New Miserable Experience, and I like most of their follow-up, Congratulations I'm Sorry.
And yet, I've never really cared much for Hey Jealousy. The song that got me to buy New Miserable Experience was Allison Road.
I still don't hear most of the songs on their albums as especially deep, but they usually…
74% I could have done better, but I spent a lot more time jumping back since I thought they had to be entered in order. After seeing all of the artists, there are only six that I wouldn't have been able to get.
Ace of Base was one of my early music obsessions - besides Billy Joel, Weird Al, Spin Doctors, Michael Jackson, and assorted other things. I still pull out The Sign (the album) about once every other year. It's an interesting album, mostly because it's so sparse.
I rewatched Scream and Scream 2 over the last couple months. Scream 2 has exactly one scene that's well done, a few okay bits, and a lot of boring junk. The first one is far worse than I remembered. These are intended for casual horror fans - people who occasionally see horror rentals at parties. They aren't of…
Agreed. Maybe the ridiculous premise of Black Leather Jackets softened the reaction to the rest of the episode.
Man, I'm looking forward to reading the review of Black Leather Jackets. It's the campiest one besides Cavender is Coming.
The comparison to The Simpsons is odd. While The Simpsons has pushed some secondary characters to the front for a occasional episodes, they invariably focus on their connection to the family. If they actually made episodes that ignored the Simpson family in favor of secondary characters, that would be much more…
That would be Michael Penn, the musician married to Aimee Mann.
I think it's in a book of photos that Bryan Adams published, but he said a few things about the music video for Everything I Do. They sold it to him as him walking around a forest in a lightning storm. When he shot the video, there was a guy turning a strobe light on and off. He was disappointed that that was the…
I own Batman, Batman Returns, and Batman & Robin on blu-ray. I've never owned a copy of Batman Forever.
Batman & Robin is entirely watchable, but it's way too long. If you watch it in 20 minute chunks, it's really a fun, ridiculous movie. It seems very self-aware of how silly it is, and it doesn't bother me.
But…
At my last job, there was a person on our mailing list who was named Homer Owner, which always reminds me of this episode.
Remarkably, we also had a Marjorie Bouvier on our mailing list as well.
What phony dog poop?
Oh, but it DID happen. Nightmares & Dreamscapes. Like any anthology, the quality varies. But I picked up a copy of it on DVD for about $5. Worth it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
You're right, that's what I get for skimming through things.
The whole series hasn't aged well. Even after they came out on DVD, and all the guys in college were into watching them… there would be occasional good lines, but most of the movies seemed dull.
There's one bit in this episode that gnaws at my mind. Right after they crush the car, there's an exchange between the characters, as they're all wearing wigs. "We've got no car!" "We've got no money!" "And no one knows we're here!" "WE'RE STRANDED!"
