Todd already mentioned Landed in passing. Although, in spite of it being a jokey kind of response, musically, I can see it working well for actually falling to the ground.

Body Movin'
I'd go with Body Movin' by Beastie Boys, mostly because I associate that song with its Danger Diabolik take off video, which has a part about falling from a plane, and it has a good enough beat to fit with falling to one's doom.
And I'd be a disappointment to my username without pointing out that 1997 is also the year Whatever And Ever Amen came out. Not as good as the self titled, but still pretty damn good and stellar piano playing all around.
Also, Christian Bale seems to be a lock for Best Supporting Actor. The only people I can remember being real shockers of winners in recent years were Adrien Brody in 2002 and Marion Coutilard in 2007.
Since I saw a preview screening of it last week, I do want to say Your Highness is really awesome. It's a perfect blend of comedy and straightforward fantasy. And as I mention below, Danny McBride is absolutely awesome in this one. It's the best thing I've seen him in (I haven't seen Eastbound & Down yet. I now…
Blur
For both 1994 and 1997, I would throw in the two Blur albums, 94's Parklife and 97's Blur. Admittedly, I'm still warming up to the self titled a little bit, but it's still a very solid record. Parklife is just a stone cold classic though.
Very Good Discussion
Will this be a weekly Wednesday feature for you Noel? Because if so, I really look forward to more of these interesting arguments.
Bravo!
I may not have commented on any of the other entries, but I did read all of them faithfully and I have to join the chorus and say that this was a really, really excellent series that really captures the joy of listening to music and the personal journeys it takes you on. Along with that, it gave me some really…
I think part of the reluctance to do it again is because of the stigma associated with the Leonard Pierce debacle. However, if they're willing to do Batman: TAS reviews with someone else, I think they should continue with Comics Panel, especially since that was never solely Leonard's gig and always had several people…
Ed Helms Is A-OK In My Book
He wasn't my favorite correspondent on The Daily Show (that would undoubtedly have to be Colbert) but he was still pretty funny. And in The Hangover and this film, he just has such a likable presence that he makes getting stoned on marijuana such a sweet innocent thing to have been involved…
Yeah, I'd say that Mo Rocca, or however you spell his last name, is The Daily Show alum who's done pretty much nothing since he left. I mean, the only thing I can think of that he's been in was one of the VH1 I Love The…. series.
Yeah, for me, it's not so much feeling sad at not having anyone to celebrate the holiday with. It's having this holiday around to help remind me that I'm single and that I can't be romantic to anyone, period, doesn't matter what day. I just have a bit of a romantic soul and having experienced a relationship once and…
@Montypark: I'm feeling it! Sadly, it's more of a platonic love connection, since I can't quite bring myself to fully committing to pansexuality. But hey, at least I know there's another guy like me somewhere out there in this world. Now I just need to find the female analogue.
The latter. I'm only 21 years old, which puts me on the lower side of the age scale for this website.
@Montypark: To bring up the coincidences between us from the 1966 article, I too have always been single on Valentine's Day, with the only relationship I've ever been dissolving a week before Thanksgiving. There really needs to be something to celebrate being single, even if you ultimately desire a relationship with…
The Sixth Hitchhiker's Book
Admittedly, we did get one from the author of the Artemis Fowl books, which I've heard isn't too bad. But I still would much, much prefer that Douglas Adams would have lived to have written.
@Montypark: No, I'm from NJ, currently in NYC for school. Your universe is safe for now.
Too Bad The Year I Was Born Sucked For The Most Part
1989 really doesn't stand out that much for music. Admittedly, it does have one bright spot in the form of Paul's Boutique. Aside from that, nothing.
Where's The Chicago Code?
Sorry for hijacking, although it's slightly related to being another new Fox show. But I just noticed that the review for The Chicago Code completely disappeared. Any reason for that?
Most Comedies
I would say most comedies tend to be at their best when seen with a lot of people. It's just easier to laugh when a huge number of people are laughing at the same time. While this can be a bad principle if it's a shitty comedy, if it's something like Anchorman or The Big Lebowski, it makes something…
