Now you've got me jonesing for an Inventory listing for which shows the US rip-off was an improvement…

25 years ago I was in Viet Nam as a tourist and I recall wondering how'd they be feeling about us.  I was informed that we were as obnoxious as the Russians, but on the other hand, we had dollars and they had rubles, so … welcome!

Oh, hmm … maybe nemesis isn't quite the right word.  But Dietrich Bader played Warp Darkmatter, the partner who UH, SPOILER? is actually a bad guy.

The Tick was the first time I really got my heart ripped out by a show's cancellation.

My kids love the Buzz Lightyear animated movie because NOT ONLY does Cash Tankinson do the voice of Buzz, but BATMAN does the voice of his nemesis.

Cash Tankinson always drives.

Also — unbeknownst to me, my husband picked this movie up from Redbox one night when I was busy.  I got done early and came around the corner to see what he was watching in there.

Sure, this phrasing is all jokey-jokey, but one of the best Christmases I ever had with my parents was the year we saw Pulp Fiction together.  (I know I've mentioned this here before, but watching my mom laugh like a maniac at poor Marvin was a revelation for young me.)

Because I am an idiot, I posted my reply to the wrong sub-thread. I think I'll just leave a plate of cookies here for anyone who wanders through here by accident.

I can't tell you how happy these occasional "Totally Stoked Aaron Paul with Random-Ass People" pictures make me.

Ugh, man — I got shingles this year and it was horrifically horrible.  And I didn't even get it on my face.  You have my profound sympathy.  So glad you didn't get the worst case scenario.

Ha — actually, those are (varyingly) "Blue Lightsaber Luke," "Green Lightsaber Luke," "The Snow One," or "The Little Furry Guy One" — or like this past weekend when he asked for "The One Where They Hire Indiana Jones."

My little guy can't remember the official names of the films very well, so he calls PM "Little Boy Anakin," AOTC "Anakin with Captain Jack Sparrow Hair Thingy," and ROTS "Better Hair Anakin."

I remember "all things" (Wasn't it all lower case?  Maybe I'm remembering wrong.) as the straw that broke the camel's back for me on being able to tolerate another damned Moby song in a show or commercial.

I started singing "The Boxer" to my daughter when she was a baby … and then just kind of mumbled over the line about whores when I got there.

The important question is: who is Greg Grunberg going to play?

I was sure you all were talking about Sgt. Schultz, but then I couldn't remember the episode with a sleeve pistol.  But hey, there were a lot of them, and I didn't always get home from school in time to see it.

Well, shit.  I give up.  What show is that?

I was reading Ronald Dahl's The Witches out loud to my kids as a bedtime story and it didn't take me long to realize it was probably a horrible, horrible idea. (Though it turned out that they loved it and I was the only one freaked out.)

Not anymore
