Can we all please just ignore this sconn character until he goes away.  This site and board in general have the funniest and most knowledgeable pop culture fans on the internet.  I have never seen a comment thread here more polluted by such an ignorant and obvious troll.  Let us exile him to You Tube comments where he

Can we all please stop with this 'Macca' crap.  No one ever referred to him by that goofy name until well into the 21st century.  Just another puerile nickname made up by the modern, mindless entertainment press.

It behooves us all to remember that their images as 'the smart one', 'the cute one' etc. were their film personas from "A Hard Days' Night" and not their real personalities.  But they were stereotyped forever with those personalities in the imaginations of the general public and the popular press. To a certain extent

So if you fall off the pier and I am standing next to the life ring I have no moral responsibility to throw it to you or try and get help ?  I should just let you drown.  Nice world you live in pal.

The females are Jugalettes so from there to 'lettes' to 'letters' as in "we los and letters"

You are forgetting the "Crystal Blue Persuasion" cooking montage.  The tenting of houses and meth cooking sessions were going on for months while they built up the hot tub sized pile of cash in the storage locker.  

I did not parse it out when I was watching, too many shocks to the system all at once, but it makes a lot of sense when you think back on it.

Yes, that's just what I thought, with the illusion of him doing it all to protect his family shattered beyond repair what would hold his sanity together ?  Ultimately it is his ego and his submission to it that is the true monster that he has let out (Forbidden Planet anyone ?)  to gain vengeance on all of the stupid

The Leone comparison for the last episode was spot on.  Look at the stance Walt adopts just before he drops the gun.  Feet splayed, hips cocked, right out of "A Fistful of Dollars".  I watched most of this episode with either my mouth hanging slack or my eyes bugged out or both.  Did anyone else think that he made the

The Illustrated Man was already both a movie (1969 with Rod Steiger) and at least some of its episodes were done on TV as well.

Watson Pritchard: and then they'll come for you.

This film is notable for the creepy and disconnected opening scene in which the main character's wife is electrocuted in their kitchen by some weird blender short-circuit.

Weird trivia:  most of Tom T. Crow's head is the clip on mask for a Cooper SK1000 hockey helmet, popular in the mid '80s.

Excuse me pal, but the audience at 'Showtime at the Apollo' most certainly appreciated craft, white or black or anything else.  If you had the cojones to face that audience and 'Sandman' Sims and could still bring your talent out (if you actually had any), then they would appreciate it. Buddy Holly was famously booked

As long as we're correcting grammar - the word is 'hereby':

How could you have possibly missed Carole King's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" in its many heart wrenching versions ?

There's a quick, funny moment where they break the usual horror movie cliche.  When the black janitor hears a noise in the hospital morgue, rather than going in to investigate and being horribly killed by the zombies as would be the standard move, he opens the door, takes one look at the forms on the slabs moving

Can we please ban this characters irrelevant nonsense.  Feels like a twelve your old that has just learned to swear has discovered the internet.

Please remove your ridiculous Rush Limbaugh styled sexist nonsense to a site that cares.  Yes forcing someone out of their clothes is an assault, and if you had actually watched the scene there was far more impled and threatened than what actually happened.  The aim of the governor was fear and humilation as part of

Old Chubby should be haunted every day and night remaining in his life by the ghost of Hank Ballard, who wrote and recorded 'The Twist'.  I saw him perform years ago (awesome !), and the way he tells the story,  he heard the record on the radio one day and thought it was his.  But no, somehow Dick Clark had got ahold
