It really does sound like some kind of Spinal Tap thing.

I probably should have specified… "why would they do this?" refers more to risking their musical careers.
Catcalling is more like pulling a Mike Damone.

I've had a mixed relationship with their music. I liked some of it when I was younger, but I've gradually moved away from it. I still like Aeroplane.

I'm not one to complain about GJI entries. I can ignore it if I don't care about it.

A limited release isn't enough. I want to be able to pick it up at the grocery store, the convenience store, and I want it when the mood hits.

Alright internet, get back on the Crystal Pepsi project.

The good elements of this movie are so few and far between, it's a mystery why this would be a secret success.

I watched the whole run of the show and the movie last summer, and I found the movie to be barely watchable. It has a few nice sequences, but the artistic choices - mostly audio tricks - made it a pain. Occasional crosstalk is a useful tool, but I still like to know what people are saying.

I'm not joking. I think they actually did some influential work, and she's one of the rare female vocalists that doesn't seem like she's trying to imitate someone else.

Why not the Carpenters?

I rewatched Lights, Camera… Homicidio last night, and I was surprised by the very awkward b-story with Jules and the new female cop. There's something that I like about it, but it's a drastically different tone from the rest of the episode.

The Michael Jackson/Shout thing at the end of the episode is so good, I keep the clip of that on my ipad to show to people unfamiliar with the show.

My wife especially hates Elektra, at least as portrayed in this show.
I found this sort of puzzling, since I mostly interpret her as a bad influence on Daredevil, and not much of a character in her own right.

I've wanted to watch this. My brother had it on his wishlist a few years ago, and I searched out a region 2 copy for him.
Damn you, DVD region encoding!

I think maybe I'll just go into town to see that movie - "Maid in Manhattan."

I burned out on this movie during college, watching it each weekend for awhile.
It's still a masterfully made movie in every regard.

I think building shows to be binge-watched tends to give us a poor impression. Even as we like them, we tend to rush through it, wanting to get resolution to something or other.

So he'll write a book, then decide it isn't the right time for it, and stick it in his vault.

That would be…. just fine.

As much as I like the movie, I don't feel like it has aged well.
I can't articulate exactly why, but it seems like the general tone of the movie couldn't possibly translate into a tv show that wouldn't leave me cringing.
