So you're saying social studies courses in public schools have a unit covering Kung-Fu movies?

You know, for someone who doesn't have regular Elvis-related coprophagia fantasies, you certainly know a lot about his digestive tract.

This is just unconscionable. I really can't believe a company would do such a thing. I mean really, fruit flavored beer?

I hope they don't run into a hitch in their plans…
…OF COCK.

Marvin Gaye, whose father was a famous cross-dressing preacher who shot his own son in the face, will be honored today with a paper mache statue.

So Batman's wearing a hockey jersey that's 3 sizes too big.

I can't be the only person who had these women put on my map by their 1996 Olympic gold medal win.  I realize that the '99 World Cup championship took it to a whole other level, but the '99 team didn't emerge out of nowhere.  A lot of the major players were on both teams.  I always felt that many of these women were

Most of them don't seem to be terribly obscure movies, just obscure references within the movies.

Absolutely.  I couldn't disagree with Phil more about "Clash of the Titans" being creaky or exacerbating any problems of creative repetitiveness.  I think it stands as one of the great fantasy/adventures and like some others have said here, it was a big part of my childhood.  Harryhausen made it in the same joyous

Shortly after I got my first DVD player I was having some issue with it and for some reason I thought I should email Roger and ask him about it.

I don't know why I'm so shocked by this, considering how unpredictable cancer can be, but I'm really just stunned.  I think he's someone I just took for granted.  His work has been such an important part of my life for so long it just seemed like he would be writing forever.

Somehow the Paul Stanley kitty looks more butch than the real Paul Stanley.

So, if I'm reading you correctly, you're hoping for a sex scene wherein someone choke-fucks a chimpanzee.
