I saw U2 at Arrowhead Stadium for the Zoo TV Tour. Somehow even though the people I was with had less-than-stellar seats, we were able to move down and be pretty much at eye level with the left side of the stage. Bono would occasionally make his way over to our side and he'd appear to be looking right at us (though…

Yeah he had that track about the lawsuits with his former band mates that was pretty tedious, and I remember him blaming the label for mishandling things. I've never really been fully on board with any of his subsequent stuff, though You Are the Quarry was a bit of a return to form and there are definitely individual…

The best news for me is that the Morgan brothers are both coming back to write and direct an episode each, as is Wong. Most of my favorite episodes of the series are either from Darin Morgan or Vince Gilligan.

And like Simon's other shows, not nearly enough people watched it when it was on. I remember one of those "The Best Show You're Missing" pieces being devoted to it about that time.

I've lived in Columbia, Missouri for awhile now, and one of the few benefits of living here is that it's a bit of a cultural oasis in the middle of flyover country. Being a big college town, for example, we get good bands. I've seen Luna only once here (a couple of times elsewhere) but it was a great show. It was at a…

Yep. And some other dude was with him. They were going for Scully if memory serves but got Melissa instead. Special K is also the guy who iced Mulder's dad. Frickin' Syndicate-serving s.o.b.

"Ways To Be Wicked" holds up. When Maria McKee had that solo song on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack I was hoping it meant she'd be taking off.

I missed The Heiress, but Angels in America would be up there for me, as would the original production of Topdog/Underdog with Jeffrey Wright and Don Cheadle.

Penthouse is the album I give people when I try to get them to fall in love with Luna and Galaxie 500. Just an amazing album all around.

Yep! Sloth was disturbing, too, for sure, as were all the others, really. Even John Doe's apartment was unsettling. Masterful set design, makeup, and directing.

Reading Nietzsche by the pool…

To me Southpaw Grammar was still pretty good solo Moz. Maladjusted is where he lost me, with the exception of the title track and maybe "Alma Matters."

I still maintain that—like most double-albums by good bands—there's enough primo material there for a single, amazing album.

Lifelong Pats fan here (yeah I know—boo, hiss). That Super Bowl was heartbreaking at the time—probably worse than in '85 because at least in '96 there was some glimmer of hope that we could win.

Lust was the most disturbing for me, even if the violence was limited to the imagination.

Going the other way, 1995 was the year Scully's sister, Melissa, was shot by accident (in "The Blessing Way"—also spoilers for a 20 year old episode) on The X-Files (topical!). I hated that shit and I'll never rewatch that episode. I had been a Mulder-Melissa shipper for only a hot minute when they just gunned her…

I wish I could take a screen shot and post it in the Experts review when certain posters that shall remain nameless start saying things like GRRM will "definitely" handle Shireen's death better than D&D did, as was the case this past week.

The Red Letter Media reviews of the prequels. People who dislike the prequels often cite them as a good starting point in explaining where Lucas went wrong. Alternately, people who like the prequels often dismiss critics of the prequels by derisively referring to the Red Letter Media reviews, like with what just…

There was a segment on Dateline back in 2004 that included a bit about whether or not he could have pulled the trigger with the amount of heroin cited in the toxicology report in his system. They asked five different medical examiners if it was possible; two said yes, and the remaining three said it was impossible to…

They're also running ridiculously good deals right now, partly as a result of a rebranding effort that didn't go as well as they had hoped.
