I can't believe I'm logging in to say this, but it's "Expanded" Universe, not "Extended" Universe. God, I hate myself.

Which is funny, since he used to work there. His segment "Us People's Weekly" never seemed to hit, but I was a big fan, and it was his TDS appearances plus Mr. Show that made me a fan for life.
Wait, there was already a movie of this. I saw it! Lemme see…
Yup, 1997, "Elvis Meets Nixon"! My recollection is that it was pretty funny, but that was nearly 20 years ago, and I've done a lot of drugs since then, so who knows?
I got the first game for free via Games With Gold. Ordinarily I just download the games, stick them on the hard drive, and think "One day I'll get around to that." For whatever reason, I gave Dishonored a try, and was immediately sucked in. Blasted through the whole thing in about a week, (which is speedy for me, as…
The late 90's/early 00's were a golden age for cheap DVDs online, and a large part of that was thanks to Columbia House. I used to frequent the DVDTalk message boards, and there were huge threads devoted to maximizing your CH deal, with charts that listed every single title available at CH, what the MSRP was vs what…
This, precisely. Everything he does may not work, but the guy seems to really be trying to do something interesting. And with Devil's Rejects and Lords of Salem, I really think he was close to achieving real art. The Halloween movies were a shitty distraction, but I'm really pulling for the guy to deliver a Suspiria…
Somewhat ashamed to say that I lost track of RHH after Space Heater (? Might be wrong on the title) but I saw them several times during the Smoke Em/Liquor/Martini era. Never saw a bad show, always a great live act. One of my favorite RHH memories was when they played a club that had rock shows before the late night…
So glad you mentioned this, as it is one of my favorite runs on the title. It was the perfect antidote to the post-Miller "Daredevil must be grim and depressing as hell" motif. Such great fun. A few years ago I met Karl at a con and told him it was one of my favorite runs on the book, and rather than soak up the…
Thank you! I was logging in just to register this very complaint. I was SO excited to see that movie when I first heard about it. Sounded like a perfect intersection of movie buff nerdery and old fashioned crackpots rattling on. I was amazed by how BORING they managed to render the subject (and the nutjobs) with such…
The first time I took LSD, we listened to both the mono and stereo mixes of "Pet Sounds" and Brian Wilson's "Smile". I had always admired PS, but after that experience, I felt like I GOT IT. It became a favorite and whenever I listen to it I feel like I did that night. It even made me love "Sloop John B", which had…
This deserves more love than it's getting. I snorted in my cubicle.
Trying to think of the last actually funny person to come from The Daily Show. I get stuck after Carrell.
Man, they are just tremendous live, such lovely, cutting guitar tone. And that Christmas album is a classic for sure. The only Xmas records I play every year are that one, James Brown'S Funky Christmas, and John Denver and the Muppets.
The Pixies are the only band that I can think of where their first album is my favorite, and I like each subsequent record a little bit less than the one that preceded it. "Come On Pilgrim" is far and away my favorite, followed closely by "Surfer Rosa", then the quality starts to dip with each release, until we're…
I was always a big fan of Genevieve's Gorders.
Just logging in to say that I love Dave, and I'm already starting to get seriously depressed about his departure. He has been on television for most of my life, and I've been watching since I was a kid. He's my buddy Dave! And, naturally, thoughts of my own aging and mortality are tied into it as well. I was a fairly…
I used to LOVE DC Follies as a kid, even though I had no real idea who the puppets were supposed to be. For this reason, I developed a fondness for Richard Nixon which would be eroded as I got older and realized, well, he was Richard Nixon.
The Nerdist was always a conundrum for me, because Chris Hardwick's fawning brown-nosery was just too much to take, and yet he always had THE BEST GUESTS. I was surprised to find just how much I enjoyed @midnight despite my general Hardwick aversion. I think it's because the format doesn't allow for his normal…
Thank god, I was on my way into this thread specifically to post about "Trophy", and its self-contradictory nature. ("Who gives a fuck about a goddamn Grammy?" swiftly becomes "Where's my goddamn trophy?")
The fact that you call Suspiria a "slasher" film makes me suspicious of the idea that you've actually seen any of these movies.
