Did Olivier ever win an Emmy? Maybe you should use John Larroquette.

He referred to Walter White's mustache as "the dead caterpillar."

He's the French Stewart of the 2010s!

An Archie comic from 1988 taught me that instead of doing drugs, I could make friends by impressing the other kids with my scooter-riding ability ("You can really ride!" said Jughead)

Wasn't the family movie version some piece of shit about Michael Keaton coming back to life as a snowman?

"I looooovvvve you! I looooovvvve you!"

I live in a very gay neighborhood, so I probably see more short shorts than most. Unfortunately, they're all on guys.

Tween daughters, eh? Hmmm…

What an existence…where the dream is to either invent some novelty item that'll be insanely popular for maybe 18 months or to injure yourself bad enough so that you get to stay home from work and collect disability.

To be honest, even if I started seeing people wearing stonewashed jeans (pegged ones, yet), fluorescent colors, basketball sneakers, and cargo pants again like it was 1990, it would still look better than the current trend of pajama pants/OR scrubs, sandals with knee high black socks, and calf-length shorts.

I hope the movie is good, too…it's on hold for me at the library.

The most memorable VHS box ever has to be "Frankenhooker"…thousands of video store employees had to listen to the box growl, "Wanna date?" whenever some punk kid pushed the button.

Same with me…it was set to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" and used the tag line: "Bull…he was full of it."

I can proudly say I was one of the fifty people who actually saw "Baron Munchausen" in the theatre. I reviewed it for my sixth grade school paper. The film was so obscure that people thought it was a story I had written.

I love the film, though I think Williams is a little too cutesy here and there. The fight with the punks who want to burn Jack up, the nude scene in Central Park, singing "How About You"…it went overboard.

"Look, I don't believe in little floating fat people!"

Sure, if "comedy" meant smiling a lot and hoping people will laugh at your lame routines because you seem like a nice guy.

How about De Niro?

They really cut off Pryor's balls when he did comedy…I saw both those movies often as a kid and thought of Pryor as a kids' performer like Bill Cosby. At the time, he also had a Saturday morning show with puppets called "Pryor's Place."
