They really cut Pryor's balls off when he did movies…every movie he's in, he acts all high-strung and scared. You'd never believe he was one of the most controversial comics of the 1970s.

I don't know why, but for some reason this morning I was thinking of that SCTV sketch where Rick Moranis plays Michael McDonald in the "Ride Like the Wind" video and he drives around Toronto in a convertible and keeps rushing back to the studio to record his one line ("Just a long way to go…")

She has also shown that black women can be successful singers and sex symbols as long as they're slim, have light skin, and chemically-straightened, dyed-blonde hair.

They're best if they're really loud with harsh sound effects like sirens and it opens while you're at work. Or when your preschool teacher tells everyone it's nap time.

It just occurred to me that they really missed an opportunity of casting Billy Ocean and Billy Dee Williams in an hourlong action show as ultra-smooth private eyes in mid-1980s Miami.

And because she has a "nice girl" reputation so people think if they met someone like Swift, she'd be super-nice instead of bitchy because she's attractive enough to be mean to most people and get away with it.

That nanny was played by Jack Palance's daughter.

How about a remake of "Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son-in-Law"?

Because he's done a lot better work than to be remembered playing air guitar to "Dude Looks like a Lady" or doing the old two meetings at same restaurant on same night bit. I heard he was pretty depressed at the notion of doing a Doubtfire sequel to buoy his career.

I think if Robin Williams is up in heaven, he's probably bummed out that most people remember him because of "Mrs. Doubtfire."

Or Natasha Henstridge in "Species"?

Ah, "twerking." As if I didn't think that "freaking," which became popular when I was in college, was trashy and tasteless enough.

I wonder how much of the audience was comprised of reality TV stars and other celebrities not related to music.

I saw it on video when I was probably seven or eight and found not only the Wonderwheel scene funny, but also the part where he wades into the piranha-infested lake and runs out in fast-motion.

I was about to say the same thing. Subway and McDonald's have taken over Chicago. For example, from memory, I can think of two Arby's and two Taco Bells in the Loop…and at least eight Subways and at least six McDonald's. I also live one building over from a McDonald's, and there's a Subway half a block away.

Third is "it doesn't matter what you look like"

I usually boil mine with a bit of sugar.

That's nothing compared to the Alicia Silverstone epidemic that hit around the summer of 1993 when the Aerosmith videos started showing up on MTV and ended maybe a year after "Clueless" came out.

Found out I've passed the threshold where weed doesn't get me high or booze (at least in the more moderate amounts I've been imbibing) doesn't get me drunk…I just end up feeling tired. Decide to stay off the booze and off the weed until Friday night/Saturday morning so I can be pleasantly high for my train ride out…

I didn't even hate him anymore…he was known for being a huge dick in middle and high school and a friend of mine actually stopped him from raping a girl who had passed out once. I saw him about 15 years later and he was fairly friendly, though it's hard to cancel out years of abuse.
