All things considered, Bowie should have been my idol/inspiration for gangly weirdos determined to succeed on their own terms. But by the time I "discovered" Bowie, Lux Interior had already filled that role for me for some time. So I kinda count myself fortunate for being in the right position to simply enjoy some…

I loved that "Did you bugger my chances with her?" line. It's a great way to illustrate how he's the type of person who just can't comprehend why someone he likes doesn't like him back.
I love Sinatra, and I love most of his version of this song, but the "shining star" lyric change just takes the air out of it. Besides, even if he sang the original line, Garland's version would be better. It's kinda unfair that she has such a great scene (and movie) to boost her version into the stratosphere, but…
Yeah, but those Olympics also helped turn Katerina Witt into a worldwide sensation, so that should take at least a little of the Kathie Lee sting out of it.
Thank you. I keep wondering why people seem to think their presence was a coincidence and not specific planning on their part.
That's some good shit.
I like both moments, but those scenes are great examples of something that would feel corny if the rest of the movie hadn't been so fucking insane that both the audience and the characters desperately needed a moment or two of quiet, if only to catch our breath.
When the movie was over, I turned to my friends and all I could say was, "that one dude loaded his gun with a bullet he'd been using as a tooth!"
Basically everything between when they leave the Citadel to when they return to the Citadel is one extended scene, right? Because i keep trying to think of great scenes, but they all run right into each other, and while each moment is great on its own, the cumulative total is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
I know she's committed the cardinal Hollywood sin of being over 30 years old, but "Into Darkness'" Alice Eve looks like Sue Storm without even trying.
What I love about this song is how it takes on the stress and hectic nature of Christmas (and life year-round, actually) while fully acknowledging that they still really love the season (and life overall, really.) It's one of my favorites.
I honor of the extremely dumb-looking Batman/Superman clips that have been making the rounds, I went to the comic shop and finally bought my own copy of "Superman: Birthright," a book that would be considered the best Superman story (and arguably the best DC book) of the decade if it wasn't published around the same…
I agree. Jessica Jones isn't an enthusiastic hero like Trish wants her to be (and wants herself to be.) She's a somewhat reluctant hero in the flashbacks, compelled to do good with her abilities, but unsure as to how. She does, however, know how she DOESN'T want to be a hero, and that involves wearing a flashy costume.
Best MST3K song by a country mile (and I'm generally a fan of their tunes.) I like sending it to friends/family/co-workers when I find out they're fans of "Rome," "True Blood" or (lately) "Game of Thrones."
"Girlfriend" has gotten played several times a day on Chicago broadcast radio stations since it was first released, and shows no signs of slowing down. For 20 years, the DJ's chatter has gone something like this:
"Matthew Sweet will be in town for an [XRT/Q101/WLUP/etc] show this weekend. He's promoting his new album,…
