Like everyone else here, this album was damn important to me back then. I started playing guitar around the same time, and Dave's style is a little unusual. It was really useful though - I got used to stretching across two sets of fifths in order to play Satellite. His approach to voicing chords was also really

There's a great shot where one of them holds his hand out for Sting to slap, and he ignores it and gets back to playing his bass.

To clarify, the line "…you see your unborn children in her eyes" is from the movie. Adams worked the line in specifically to tie into the movie.

I think this is actually the first episode that I truly burned out on. I had started taping all of the episodes on VHS, and this was one of the early ones I recorded.
That said, there are still a few gags that I enjoy. I like the music for the flashback of Ned's parents. I love the perspective gag with the hallway.

I didn't feel thrilled when I finished this movie, but the more I thought about it, I think it's actually much better than the D+ rating here. One of the problems with the first two VHS movies is that they were really uneven, which is common for anthology movies. While the stories in this movie are a little more

No one seems to be mentioning that all the younger participants in this song seem to be pretty disinterested. At least Bono and Seal seem to be getting into it.

It's a decent melody. The music is fine. But the writing is clunky, and to be honest, it's hard to make a good song that switches up between singers as frequently as this does.

While it doesn't have anything to do with rape, I did make an edit of Bill Cosby: Himself, in which I eliminated the jokes and focused on his pauses.

That's the happiest ending I can imagine.

A friend that I grew up with always reminded me of Milhouse. He was nerdy, but he was very awkward. He was kind of annoying.
As I got older, I became more aware of how uncomfortable things were in his house. His mother was a hypochondriac, and would clean around us all the time. She was talk to herself. She would

That's always felt like a forgotten episode. The most memorable gag in it is the funk dancing for self-defense.

The words "jet-powered, monkey-navigated" are so strangely familiar, even when I first saw the episode. It's just like from the last episode - when Marge starts singing her song, it sounds like it must be something I've heard somewhere else.

I think it came out on VHS around 1991 or so, meaning that I would have been around 6th grade. I don't think I've ever been freaked out by the ending though… I may have been too mesmerized by the brief nudity.

It was the first movie I showed my wife on our first date, and I showed it to another girl that things didn't work out with during college. I think I used it roughly the same way.
I liked Young Frankenstein when I was younger, but most of Mel Brooks' work hasn't aged well for me. But I still enjoy Blazing Saddles and

I think he was glad that it wasn't something he usually gets to talk about. He's very shy though.

Now that I think of it, I vaguely remember something about the project starting off as a Hamlet adaptation. I can't find anything right now, but those elements might be leftover from an earlier direction the story took.
(Like an alternate ending where Harris manages to gather the rest of the cast together, and

LA Story has been my favorite movie for a long time now, and it's one of the hardest things to explain to people.
Most people leave the movie with a modestly positive "oh, that was nice." Yes, it is nice, but that reaction only happens if you only view it as a comedy.

Agreed. I've managed to avoid seeing any of Sex and the City, so I've still got a very positive impression of her.

This is one of the only aspects that the movie that feels like a non sequitur. I think there's something to be said for the parallels that are set up during the gravedigger scene - that Martin's character is actually living a scene from Hamlet, but doesn't have the culture to know it. She recognizes the scene for

Well, that's part of the idea. It takes a lot of thought to put together something as completely awkward as that.
