Never watched Family Matters or anything TGIF
…but I remember reading this (#5) and feeling that I was better off for having never watched it:

Halloween was better. Both were made by Wizard, but in TCM you control Leatherface (one of the first games to cast the player in the role as villain) and the gameplay consists entirely of you scrolling from screen to screen, avoiding obstacles (mostly animal skulls and Franklin's wheelchair, over and over again) while…

Those are both B-sides off of Anal Cunt's It Just Gets Worse, right?

C'etait mon plaisir, le moot.

I think I'd like my money back.

Your Silly Little Show-Biz Book Sucks
I felt the invocation of Roger Ebert when Rabin concludes with "I have read Diamond's book, I've heard his story, so I now feel singularly qualified to say, 'Dustin Diamond, your jokes are dumb, and you, not the character you once played on television, are an asshole.'" Totally…

I'll be contrarian and announce that I'm an unapologetic fan of "Baker Street," as well. When I was a kid it was my favorite song that the FM stations would play as I rode in the car with my parents as they cruised the boulevards of my hometown. I didn't mind the Foo Fighters' cover, either. As a dumb college…

"How the Ghosts Stole Christmas"
The X-Files episode with Lily Tomlin and Ed Asner is, I would argue, a loose adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" (and Mulder is watching the classic 1951 film version at one point). Asner and Tomlin play ghosts who show Mulder and Scully what their lives are like as viewed by others,…

You seem to have missed my point completely, Tom Foolery, whilst your public-masturbation-disguised-as-reproach at the same time ironically proves my point: trying to demarcate where a given movement begins and ends temporally (whether its film, literature, music, philosophy, sociology, etc.) and who is to be included…

Funny… I just looked up "snarky douchebag" in the Urban Dictionary and your lame-ass nom de troll was there.

Varda's work was a bridge
I wouldn't say Agnes Varda brought on the French New Wave so much as that she gestured toward what was coming. Maybe that's a matter of semantics, but I think it's a crucial distinction, one that both acknowledges that her contribution is largely unsung while at the same time problematizing…
