It's more of a generic tall guy, short guy reference.

Turns out he couldn't in the most basic sense and it killed him. He died trying to take a shit and when they opened up his colon, or weighed it whatever they did he was so impacted he had something like the equivalent mass of a Saint Bernard crammed in there. No wonder his heart took a powder facing that kind of…

Yes, Kovacs, to all of those and his suit in that Edge of Reality vid may be his greatest ever.

CSTM and Xanadu are insane and great but, seriously, are not really in the same league of weird as the Apple.

It is somehow hard to tear your eyes away from them, even, or especially the really horrible ones like Clambake, Harem Scarum and Roustabout.

August 16, 1987 - 10th anniversary of El's death, Madonna's birthday and the date of the Harmonic Convergence (remember that one?) I rode-tripped with four friends for from various parts of the Midwest to the pilgrimage. And the tripped part was for real. We all dropped acid except for the driver who just smoked a…

My daughter has the DVD and has seen it about a zillion times. I made her alternately laugh and roll her eyes at me when I spent a whole day doing MacGregor's Catcher Block walk.

Agreed!

I had a crush on her back when and this interview fully revived it. She really comes across as cute, funny, smart and more than a little bit naughty. I'm on board ship Wiedlin!

Thanks Leo Slayer. i was looking for that one.

Ewww. 80's porn is horrible. All that teased up hair, tons of makeup, the advent of fake tits and aerobics outfits are not sexy. At least chicks still had bush. I'll definitely take the 70s for my vintage porn and I came to adulthood in the 80s.

I'm with you, Idiotking. That makes his role as Capt. Queeg in the Caine Mutiny even more astonishing. He channeled all of that easy commanding force into the role of an incompetent and a weasel and totally nailed it. His breakdown on the stand even changes your thoughts of contempt and anger for the guy into pity.…

Another vote for China Mieville's books and also the Diamond Age

Shhh. They're strapping down Liza Minelli.

Good call.

John Barry is awesome
I have recently rewatched "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "You Only Live Twice" and far and away the greatest pleasure they afforded me were John Barry's excellent scores. I have been very happy to have their melodies pinging around in my head because they are so catchy in the best way and…

For the love of God, somebody alert Rick Santorum!

Dinklage is too busy banging whoo-ers on the set of Game of Thrones since it got renewed.

I liked how whenever he would have to pull off some quick getaway or tricky stunt in the Firebird, which were never overly elaborate or unbelievable, invariably his car would get fucked up in some way. Poor Jim.

@ Ginnitonix - The movie gets it right, including a certain amount of the characters' own ignorance of the geography they are trekking through. It is the desert or near desert of eastern Oregon and they are aiming for the Willamette Valley. They keep expecting, and hoping, to see the Cascades but…
