A little something for the ladies…
"I want to make you mine
Smack your fat behind
Tie you up and make you whine

Well obviously Donkey Punch. There's a movie; there should be a song.

Yeah, I think he was one of the orange ones presiding over Chuck's trial.

This show had a strange effect on me
I was totally geeked up to see this and by the time she became a hostage negotiator I was smitten. I spent the rest of the show leaning forward on my couch. I really thought it was great right after it was over, but then reading Scott's review and some of the comments I can't say…

James Whitmore
Did you guys do a newswire entry on James Whitmore's death? I think he passed away right after you posted the last buzzkills so I was hoping to see something this week. I really loved him in Shawshank.

I hope your mom gets better, prison wine. And I hope you get a job soon. You could always do something involving pornography. The world _could_ use more pornography.

Too much Corbomite
Kirk uses the Corbomite bluff at the end of "The Deadly Years", also, to scare off the Romulans. He needs to come up with a new trick before all these alien races start comparing notes.

Bruce
Maybe this is a bit too on-the-nose, and I know "Tunnel of Love" is mostly about a relationship breaking apart, but "Valentine's Day" by Bruce Springsteen is a really nice balance of lonely yearning and sappy romance.

While we're at it, "Play Misty For Me" is the perfect anti-Valentine's Day movie and that scene when they're walking in the woods while "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is playing is haunting and beautiful. It really made me appreciate the song even more.

There's a fairly sizeable thread on this in Noel's Popless entry for Roxy Music, but I'll reiterate what I and some other people said there : "Avalon" is a gorgeous album. Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing.

Phel - "I Was Made to Love Her" is probably the single greatest Stevie Wonder song in creation. Hearing it just makes me want to jump up and wave my arms in the air.

"Up the Butty" sounds like a saucy British sitcom from the 70s.

Since we're talking automatic weapons and not a Bop Gun I guess it would have to be Dr. Dre funky.

So I guess that crushes my hopes that you look like a real-life version of Jessica Rabbit.

Can someone with a subscription to Guns and Ammo tell me what kind of gun that guy in the blue underpants is holding? That's a funky-ass looking gun.

This may be a bad suggestion for you, Sybil, since you seem opposed to scenery-chewing, but, if you're up for some absolutely bat-shit-crazy, thrilling, good times, look no further than Brian DePalma's "Raising Cain". It's got Lithgow's best performance and is just awesome in its lunacy.

I think Isla Fisher is Australian. So she's an Aborigine's Amy Adams.

Maybe I'm just a pervert…
But it looks like Jason is copping a feel in that picture up there.

Somehow…
I'm pretty sure Modell will be doing an 'I Watched This On Purpose' for this when it hits dvd.

I came across "Clean, Shaven" by way of one of Roger Ebert's movie guides so it's not like it's _that_ obscure, but you're right, it doesn't seem like anybody ever talks about it. It's such a great portrait of an unstable mind. That scene where his fingernail has a close encounter with his pocket knife is just…
