That Brian Setzer swing song was barely even a song.  It was a generic blues chord progression, the most generic possible blues melody, over generic horn and vocal arrangements, recorded in the most blandly commercial way possible.  It sounded like something you'd hear at Disneyworld.  The Cherry Poppin' Daddies…

There are still some baseball dinosaurs wallowing in the pre-sabr thinking.  The fact that Juan Pierre stilll has a career proves that.   That guy is fucking awful, but neanderthals like Ozzie Guillen love him and play him every day.  He's a gamer and a grinder, yadda yadda.  He makes things happen, yadda yadda.   He…

Tried but failed to give a shit about these guys.  I bought Murmur on vinyl when it first came out and really really tried to get into it.  It was music that smart kids were supposed to be into.  It never clicked with me.  Sitting through Murmur felt like a dreary homework assignment.  Like a fucking chore.  That's…

I don't think I'll ever fully let go of the original versions I fell in love with.  I saw those things in the theater first run.  Of all the possible prequels and reimaginings the only one I'd like to see is something involving unspeakable cruelty against Ewoks.   "Ewok Auschwitz," or something similar.    Princess…

The following is one of my Maher favorites.  It would have been a career-ender for any conservative pundit, comedically inclined or not.  But for Maher it was business as usual, and his career didn't suffer, sadly enough. If any conservative wrote this re the Democratic Party, liberals would call have called him a…

I could handle his smugness better if he weren't so damn LAZY.  He doesn't do enough research for his shows.  He's a piss poor  excuse for a political pundit, and I don't think he's much of a comedian either.

I stopped watching Maher years ago when I realized I frequently knew more than he did about the issues he spouts about.    He just doesn't do nearly enough homework before doing a show.   Simply put, he's LAZY.   I got tired of seeing gaping holes in his knowledge base and decided I had outgrown him.  If you want…

Fuck you.   The Starfighters episode is one of the best.

He's not a computer.  He's physical.

Stock footage, by the yard.   Literally half the movie is stock footage.   It's awesome.

I've done it twice in a room alone.  It's fucking brutal.   I was very drunk both times and it didn't help.  Nonetheless I believe it's something everybody should experience.

Anybody else here a big fan of the "Starfighters" episode?   I love that one to death.  The refueling. . .

I think of the Manos episode as "MST3K Advanced". It's not for newbies.  It's something you graduate to, like law school. After mastering the Manos episode you can go for a PhD in cinematic shitology by viewing the non-MSTK3 DVD of the original theatrical release of Manos alone in a dark room.  No robots, no jokes —…

Deeply disturbing picture.

Digging this. Must buy or steal.

Still too soon for goatees to be ironic. They either make you look like a dipshit redneck or like a dad having a midlife crisis.   Hard to say which is more uncool.

The face mullet.  If anyone needs proof that the goatee is firmly entrenched as the dumbfuck hick signifier that the mullet once was they can just look at Larry the Fucking Cable Guy.  I know people who still wear goatees unironically and it's embarrassing.  Please shave that shit.   It makes you look like an idiot.

This could be an awesome show, but only on cable.   You need the whole experience undiluted.  Coke binges, steroids, strippers, sex with underage groupie chicks.   All that. 

I watched a ton of Lost Saucer back in the day but somehow I can't remember any of the plots. I also watched a ton of Land of the Lost and never forgot the more memorable episodes. I guess that means LOTL has stood the test of time better?

The Christian afterlife.
So when you go to heaven, you get to do fun stuff 24-7, right? What if the only thing you ever enjoyed in life was using hard drugs? Does that mean you can spend eternity getting high? Or do you have to find other fun stuff to do?
