This one's easy for me: John Prine's self titled first album.  My dad would listen to it when I was a kid, and all I heard was Prine's nasally twang and bluegrass affectation.  It wasn't until much later, as an adult, that I really heard "Sam Stone" or "Paradise" for the complex, touching, wistfully sad songs that

I rewatched this for the first time in years recently, and I was surprised by how much of it made it into shit I say all the time.

Huckle Buckle Beanstalk?

Why can't Rivers still write songs as perfect as "You Gave Your Love to Me Softly?"  No arch bullshit, no irony, just straight ahead power-pop.  "I Just Threw Out the Love of my Dreams" falls into this category too.

I was thinking the same thing during the deer seen, but I think you could attribute that misstep to the writers having fuck-all knowledge of anything relating to the outdoors.  They probably think you can approach deer that way because the closest they've ever gotten to the forest is watching Bambi on DVD.

"United Parcel Service & the people at the Post Office/ Didn't call you back because you had cloudy piss/ So now you back in the trap just that, trapped"

This is going to date the shit out of me, but the I'll always think of Ben Vereen as the leopard from Zoobilee Zoo.

Punt Stabiron.

More like kumquat life by the time we knew her.

I'm livin' life with some burdensome niggas.

Holy shit.  I thought that was Parker Posey.

Well said.

Take it on the run is a kick-ass karaoke song though.

But they won't, because nobody but critics and internet nerds watched this show.

I hear Nancy is totally losing her shit now. I don't actually know because Nancy Grace isn't on Netflix.

Dammit Pepoohsten, you get me every time. I don't even know why I find your shtick so funny, but it alway reduces me to tears.

The acid didn't hurt either.

The Thing is still my go-to scared-the-Holy-Fuck-out-of-me horror movie. The Thing has everything this movie does, and then the scene pays off instead of petering out. The husky walks like an alien for the first thirty minutes (and how did they get that real dog to walk like that) but then all hell breaks lose.

Um, get it right
Black Hawk Down was about the Army, not the Marines. Little research goes a long way.
