The above clip is from a delightfully subversive little show called Clone High which ran on MTV for one season and was criminally given the axe before its time.

Same deal with "Let it Loose" by the Stones and Nicholson fucking up Leo's broken arm in the Departed, a movie I enjoyed despite Scorcese's relentless self-plagiarism.

Pineapple Express has my favorite subversion of this one.

Apatow's films aren't perfect, but 40 Year Old Virgin is way more consistent than either Office Space or Idiocracy. Apatow's universe is less idiosyncratic and maybe less deep than Judge's, but his films (and I actually haven't seen Funny People, and probably won't for a while given what I've heard about it) seem…

Listen Mr. Burns, I don't know what you think sideburns are, but…

Come on, guys! Flatliners!

I love bad movies…
But this shit was just inexcusable. I've had fun ragging on it since (my favorite detail being the ridiculous inflection Carrey gave the ridiculous line "my name is Fingerling"), but it was a goddamn chore to sit through. If only Nathan's talking dogs or aliens had shown up as a third act twist.

Let's petition for Joel Schumacher to direct an adaptation of V.

I think it's definitely kids in love vs. adults (or R+J vs. Montagues and Capulets) and my evidence is the line "We hope your rules and wisdom choke you" which denotes a youthful "us against the world" rebellion.

Been said already but: M*A*S*H*, though SET in Korea was released during and strongly comments on the war in Vietnam. And just for added redundancy, I'll suggest that you look up the word "subtext." Dipstick.

"Cash's somewhat emotionless drone" ???!??!?!?!!?

Despite the usage in the film which makes it suicide-specific in a lot of people's minds, that song is about scoring smack.

"Baby, can you dig your man?"

"Why did you do it?
You should have called me on the telephone
I didn't expect for you to call
'cause I didn't think that you were alone
so alone"

Whispering Pines, man. Shit is spooky. Hard for me to listen to without picturing a coked-up, Grand Mariner-soused Richard Manuel offing himself in a hotel room.

"Rock and Roll Suicide" by David Bowie. The ending is uplifting and cathartic to me every time I hear it. I always get chills on the climactic "GIVE ME YOUR HANDS!" and the "you're not alone" repetitions are genuinely comforting. By the time that Mick Ronson guitar tag wraps things up, I feel renewed.
