Should probably just do Groot's Log Ride, where you get to gut the insides of a friendly tree and ride it's desiccated corpse down a river of blood.
But, you know, set to some 70s bubblegum hits. Maybe something from the 1910 Fruitgum Company.

It's a shame, as those were delicately imported in the stomachs of rare Pomeranian breeds

Imagine how much you'd get on the black market for one of those gift bags they give you?

It was a unique approach to selling Dentyne, I'll admit.

I don't think any performance Shannon has given could be called "slightly" over the top, aside from maybe some gum commercial he might have made in the late 90s.

It was a term used in places like Time magazine or the New York Times. In the late 50s, it would have been "beatnik".

I think there's a bigger market for a BW movie at this point than there is another Thor one, for sure. I don't know much about her character beyond reading a few comics 200 years ago, and seeing her in these movies. But I'd think they could pull something together. Is there a decent villain to be found?

I never accused anyone of "being fake". But you do acknowledge that being cryptic is "cool as hell". I mean, there's a reason they do this stuff.
Again, it's not a criticism. It's established themselves above the crowd, in people's minds, because it's presented as something unique. Which is also a good way to make some…

Yeah, I think the argument that there isn't a big enough audience for a BW movie is kinda absurd at this point, since all these Marvel titles make money, and they did well with a freaking Ant-Man movie starring Paul Rudd, who is well-liked but nowhere near the mainstream star that Scarlett is. I'd guess she'd be more…

Black Widow was practically a co-lead in "Winter Soldier".

Calling Anderson the "Radiohead of movie directors" sums him up perfectly for me, but probably not in the way you intended.
Again, I'm not criticizing the band for it, but anybody who thinks that their cryptic and mysterious act isn't a huge gimmick, which they have created an aura around for over 15 years, and used as…

Sure, but they definitely have gained an enormous amount of publicity for their methods, which in itself kind of diminishes the notion of "obscurity". Willfully obscure bands don't make videos with Oscar-nominated directors, normally. It's not a criticism, it's all part of the package. It's working, and they are…

True, and the fact that they record/tour on their own schedule, as opposed to the yearly grind of bands of the past, has to help. They don't get as sick of each other.

Good call. I knew there was somebody I was forgetting.

Yeah, it is kind of unique. I was trying to think of a band with no lineup changes over so many years, and I am drawing a blank. They have been very clever in monetizing a perceived "obscurity" without being gauche about it. Aphex Twin is the only other artist that comes to mind who has been as good at it, and even he…

Splitting hairs!
Fun fact: These guys started recording, what, 26 years ago? Anytime I see people bagging on the Stones or something, I wonder if they've ever done the math and realized that these guys are the same age as the Stones when they did "Steel Wheels".
It's cool people are excited, I think that's great, I'm…

He looked old and forlorn in 1995

Uh huh. By this you mean the "white, male working class", correct? You seem to have completely ignored my actual point, which isn't too surprising. Because you don't want to address it. Because you can't.
Don't you worry about Mr. Trump, though. We in the actual Democratic coalition, which helped elect President…

Because AA, Latino and Women overwhelmingly supporting a candidate is terrible for a Democrat, yes?
You really do take after your Mr. Wizard with his casual dismissal of the largest part of the Democratic base. Many of those people picked up on it, too. Which is why your beloved is finished. Good work!

Cyndi Lauper's greatest work. That and her managing Wendy Richter to the WWF women's title.
