The true dive bar by which I judge all other dive bars was in Chicago - the late Lakeview Lounge on Broadway in Uptown (the Green Mill was down the street three, four blocks). The first time I went there, I looked over at a friend of mine and at almost the same time we both said the same thing, "It's the Tug & Maul!"…

I'll never understand all the gushing over "Children of Men," certainly a "beloved masterpiece" here at the AV Club.
It seemed like there was a period where someone in the comments section, regardless of the original posting, would bring up "Children of Men."

The AV Club

I'd like to express my fondness for that particular brand of beer *shifty eyed gaze*

Jeremy Scahill
Democracy Now interview
May 3, 2016

Let me guess, you're one of those progressive liberal hypocrites that has no problem when it's a Democratic president sending drones to kill people (innocent civilians and U.S. citizens among them) but if it were a Republican you'd be all about the OUTRAGE!

Hands down it's Kenneth Branagh's version of "Henry V." I saw it in the theaters five times when it was released.

I cannot watch "2001" at home either because I fall asleep. There's not a lot of action in that movie. Fortunately for me, the American Cinematheque here in Los Angeles shows the movie at least once a year in one of its theaters so I always make sure to see it. And, yes, it's the roadshow version with the overture at…

Ognir Rrats!

Science!

"So the good news/horribly depressing news is that almost all police go
in genuinely wanting to help people, but almost all of them are so
quickly crushed by the cynicism of the police subculture that they
abandon those ideals in very short order."

While other ballparks have been adopting that practice in recent years - it's done at Dodger Stadium, too - doing it at Wrigley Field actually dates back to the late 1960s. I started noticing it in about 1985 with throwing back home run balls of the San Diego Padres, to whom the Cubs lost in the playoffs the year…

I question whether there is as much animosity as the media would lead you to believe. I am a 30 plus year Cubs fan who has good friends who are Sox fans. I've gone to Comiskey/The Cell with them, they've come to Wrigley with me. It was all good.
But then, I grew up in the suburbs and not the city proper.
There is…

Barbara Bach's character in "The Spy Who Loved Me." She was a communist, right?

Remember the stars
You loved yesterday?
Where did they go?
Did they all pass away?

Don't have time to go through 400 plus comments so I am just going to assume that someone else mentioned "It's A Mistake" by Men at Work, which is the song I was looking for on this list. It's the first one that came to mind.

"It's amazing how from the original "Red Scare" onward, we managed to utterly dehumanize people based on their politics!
As you mention, the film makes clear that being a Communist didn't mean
supporting Stalin any more than being an American meant supporting
Dubya…"

From the 1980 Playboy interview, discussing "Steel and Glass:" "I was trying to write something nasty, and I didn't really feel that nasty, but there's some interesting musical stuff going on…It's about a few people, but it doesn't mean anything."

Per the McCartney bio "Many Years From Now" (1997), "The song ("Martha My Dear") was written in October 1968, when Martha (Pau's sheepdog) was already three years old…"
"Hey Bulldog" was recorded in early 1968, prior to the Fabs going to India.

Uh, no. "Hey Bulldog" was recorded before "Martha My Dear" although released after it.
