The First Step (Minor spoiler)
I love this episode. It starts to show us more of B'more, Adrienne's performance is melancholy sexy, and the ending shows us the first step in the direction of darkness that compels Bayliss more than he can understand. Take note from here on out of Tim's choices. The part of people…

I never watched that show a whole lot, but that ep is one of the funniest things I ever saw.

There're a lot of folks on here posting their own cryingest film experiences, and no one mentions The Champ. I was 11 when I saw it in theater. Holy shit, I did not know a movie could be that gut-wrenching.
And rickster, it's even worse than that. He loses the shit out of custody.

I discovered Spider because of his association with the Heinleins. His puns are terrible, and I love them. "Variable Star" was good, but he was born to write Callahans.

Robert Heinlein
He's still my all-time fave, and over and again I buy a copy of "Time Enough for Love," read it and give it to someone. Often it's a kid going into the military, because The Tale of the Man Who Was Too Lazy to Fail is so just a perfect way to prepare them for military life, especially the young man I…

He toyed with the medium of television.
Forced-perspective gags, animated inserts, books that gave a real experience when opened (i.e. a coughing "Camille"), and the opening tympani whose head was some still liquid and the drummer lost his mallet every time.
Plus— Percy Dovetonsils. Teevee's first gay character?…

Gumball
This was my introduction the late, great Raul Julia.
"This first rule of Italian driving is: what is behind me does not matter."

There is nothing obligatory about this thread.

I've heard it both ways.

Yeah, comedy is funnier in groups. There's a sort of safety in numbers thing that happens, allowing even the most reserved among us to become hysteric when everyone around us is similarly losing their collective shit.
Kids in the Hall Tour of Duty was pretty great in that ratty, now demolished theater in Dallas.
But…

I meant "alone-in-my-underwear-and-USA-jersey," of course.

Wish I had been in a communal setting that morning, Bill, instead of alone-in-my-underwear at the jedstead. Donovan's goal is still the greatest sports moment of my life so far. Can't see it being overshadowed soon. There's lots of good youtubage on crowd reactions to Landy's goal. In fact many more now than last…

Dungeon Master:
It doesn't seem to be up anymore, but I got mine done at simpsonizeme.com back when the movie came out. All you had to do was upload a picture and move to Springfield.

Came late to the party
Don't expect anyone to read this, but did NO ONE else notice that this was the second appearance by Yuri on "Chuck?" Season one, "Chuck vs. the Tango" featured Yuri asking "Pliz can you tell me, whereza Chucka Bartowski?" at the Buy More while the titular character [heh—titular] hides under the…

Meanwhile, at Stately Wayne Manor
High on one of the rare hills here in the NTX, and only 1/4 of a mile from the jedstead as the crow flies, is a mansion which I named Stately Wayne Manor years ago. It was only recently that I found out it's Charley's house! Saw him pull his pickup out the gate one day, maybe once…

where's the rat?
If only a rodent of some sort would respond to this reasonable discussion, then I could get on with my life.

Now that you mention it, Radagast the Brown was completely left out of the films. Not even mentioned.

Texans know that Bowie (the knife) rhymes with hooey, not Joey, and is named after its inventor, Jim Bowie.

There are three different Groo the Wanderer # 1's. In two of them, he deliberately made the lower corner panel open so that he could do drawings as well as autographs. Draws entire, fleshed out characters in a bout 30 seconds. What an absolutely awesome guy. 2nd the "class act" descriptor.

Big Trouble is so underrated.
