I would also give credit to another Louis: Louis Jordan. A black musician, his band was another key bridge between the big bands of the '30s and early '40s and rock 'n' roll bands of the '50s. Jordan's band had a few horns and a rhythm section and played "jump blues" (or "rhythm 'n' blues"), and like Prima,…

I still remember that Russian-esque music, Karnov turning sickly blue after taking one hit, and a recurring mini-boss called "Chicken Bone."

Karnov! I loved that game. Very underrated.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I LOVED Dollhouse starting with episode 6. The first five episodes were boring procedurals, but with episode 6, the main plot and high stakes started ratcheting up, and it never slowed down or had a dull moment from there. It's a very underrated show, but Buffy and Angel both…

Damn, this really got me, as a grown-ass man who desperately wishes I could have a cat, and thinking of my wife who has a disability and really loves dogs.

I've never seen 2000, but I have nothing but love for the Blues Brothers movie, and that original band.

I saw Ali Wong open for John Mulaney last year, and she was new to me, but really good. It almost seemed like she got more laughs out of the mostly college-aged audience than he did.

I actually really like the song "Jesus of Suburbia," but I'm a sucker for theatrical, bombastic rock songs with movements. Love Queen, love Jim Steinman stuff.

Thank you both for the warning.

Those of you who have already seen this movie or read the novel, how bad are the rape scenes? My wife and I love to watch psychological thrillers and high-concept sci-fi movies, but she has trouble handling extreme, brutal, gory violence and rape scenes.

Oh, I am so sorry. That is awful, and I empathize completely. I was in my early 20s when I found out about my big pal Mr. Popo, but at least I was home with the fam instead of at school or work.

You're not wrong. It was an ugly bit of business. A dark comedy that wasn't funny at all… or entertaining.

I was thinking of the one cool, important one.

Miller as Snart is my favorite character on television right now, not just in the CW/DC-verse. I have always enjoyed Captain Cold in the comics as a villain who is a professional (won't hurt women or children, avoids collateral damage, shares a mutual, grudging respect with the Flash), and Miller has been playing the…

In the comics, Savage's daughter is actually a beautiful, badass lesbian antihero named SCANDAL Savage, who is the leader of a small team of villains and antiheroes called the Secret Six, also featuring Deadshot from Arrow and Suicide Squad fame. She despises her father, has a professional rivalry with the other big…

Snart, Sara, Mick, and Ray are the reasons I've stuck with this uneven, disappointing show. I like them all so much, and I care so little about the other characters. You have the cool career criminal with his redemption arc, the beautiful badass conflicted killer, the dangerous psycho with his secondary redemption…

Funny, I just watched the episode, but I don't remember seeing Kendra "kiss Savage's greasy ass," nor do I think that seeing that would have been "a lot of fun."

I saw Fight Club in the theater in the fall of 1999. When most people were dismissing it as "a boxing movie starring that dumb pretty boy Brad Pitt," I had a feeling there was going to be something more to it. Better yet, I blew off my university's huge homecoming pep rally event, with skits and bands and a comedian…

Thank you, and my condolences to you!

I still miss my white cat, who my parents had to put to sleep while I was away at school, and they didn't tell me until I came home for Thanksgiving, over a month later. That was the fall of 2001, and I still think about that cat every day. He was really huge and fat and soft, and due to living situations and now a…
