Here's a flaw. Bruce Willis yanks out all of his teeth with pliers. A few hours later, he's making out with Madeline Stow. That ain't gonna happen—too painful for him, too bloody and gross for her. That, plus the swelling strings and corny romance shoe-horned into that scene took me out of the movie.

Aziz and his bud were the only white guys in the club.

Is this the one where candlewax is discovered on Teapot's spout when she was supposed to be fucking the anthropomorphic clock guy? Scandalous!

Thank god
That scene of the all consuming hell that is the modern factory shocked Americans, and a mere seven decades later, Congress signed NAFTA to banish these dangerous, alienating, sould crushing factories from US soil once and for all, and saved the economy forever.

SNL
"that era's wildly overemphatic acting style, in which every dramatic emotion is communicated via gestural bullhorn" reminds me of Sigourney Weaver's performance on SNL this past weekend. That acting style ain't dead.

Nathan Rabin is a maroon
Hey dummy! Everybody knows that Spider-man doesn't even have a respective wife anymore, since the devil himself split them up. Take your head out of a stupid showbiz book every once in a while, take a look at the real world going on around you, and then write some jokes that actually make

I don't think she was actually playing guitar on that second song. Some of those guitar sounds would have required her to alternately mute the strings, and it didn't look like she was doing that. Then she stopped playing while a base line started playing (from somewhere—there was no bass player present on stage).

I laughed at Riley. It's a parody of ridiculous sketches that bank on catchphrases, right? Now, we need to never ever see Riley again and I'll regain a modicum of respect for SNL.

The only way any of you coud possibly find Sigourney even remotely attractive is through the lens of nostalgia.

Every one of Chuck Norris's hairs pulled out and blown by Bruce Lee got its own endorsement deal to promote Total Gym.

You guys forgot one
Yul Brenner giving up the badass cowboy thing to star as a loveable theme park mascot. Rented this one for my kids for family movie night, tonight.

That one was a doozy.

Best Buds 4 Life!
Holy shit, this guy is friends with Kanye! And he pals around with the guy from LCD Soundsystem! Wow! Tell us more about your cool, famous friends.

As I've written here before, I found that Rudyard Kipling issue of the Unwritten to be a masterwork of the form. Plus, it got me to read Kipling's Just So Stories which is a ton of fun, and knowing the context, a moving testiment of a father's love for his lost child.

I keep my Japanese noise rock in my "zen room". I like to listen to its peaceful, ghostly whispers while sitting on a floor mat and smoking some choko.

It's killing me. I can't eat, I can't sleep. All I can see is that giant red sun in the shape of a chicken. I don't think Kenny Rogers has any idea what's going on down there.

I don't know if Cliff enjoyed "Jane Eyre", but Heathcliff definitely enjoyed Isabella in Wuthering Heights. Many many times on a variety of pre-Victorian furniture.

I haven't been this mad since Harvey Kurtzman died.

I have formed a tribute band to Scrantonicity II (the offshoot of Scrantonicity, the Police tribute band). We're called The U.K. Scrantonicity II.

Your dad, a Glenn Beck fan reads Ultimate comics? I suppose it's possible. And Bendis does indeed write the hell out of Ultimate Spidey.
