The Time Travelers was the usual bad sci-fi movie stuff, but I did appreciate the little magic tricks used in it to make the future look a tiny bit interesting. Good on Jonah for pointing it out to the bots.

Young Mark Hamill could make any straight man bicurious.

Is David Prowse straight?

And his dad is a cautionary tale of what happens when you force someone into the strict dichotomy of Jedi vs. Sith. Anakin would have made a great Gray Jedi.

FUCK YO COUCH, CANCER, FUCK YO COUCH!

I've spent 32 years diddling myself, and I'm only 30.

Mike often had movies with a much faster pace. Monster A-Go-Go was a Herculean task that Joel could barely stand, but his laid-back voice suited such slow plodding messes. Likewise, I don't think Joel could have done Space Mutiny as perfectly as Mike.

Then I watched William Shatner play a racist in The Intruder, Vincent Price play a

Burton was my first auteur, the first director whose style I recognized as a kid. I'll keep following his career, but I will always remember the regret I felt seeing Alice in Wonderland on my birthday. At least the MOMA exhibit featuring his artwork was good.

Oh boy, the way Scott Buck handled Dexter and his sister Deb's relationship…oh boy. That says it all for people who watched those last seasons.

Welcome to the city! You go to Central Park, and you'll see that pretty much the whole park has been filmed for something. That place in particular is pretty cool with the swans and the boats and the restaurant across the water.

14 seconds in…that's the subway station near me! Who wants my autograph?
