You and I will be having words in two weeks! The Rocketeer rules.

Its studio release here was very B movie-like, but budget and cast-wise, it certainly was not.

Every time I catch that scene where she pretends to seduce Timothy Dalton and then conks him on the head I actually feel really bad for Dalton. It’s a young Jennifer Connelly! Poor guy never had a chance to say no. That’s like playing pick-up basketball at the local Y and discovering the other guys brought LeBron.

Donkey Kong climax... ew.

Uh, I already paid for it in the sense that, many many many years ago I subscribed to Netflix so I could watch Arrested Development and The Twilight Zone and shit. But since you’re suggesting I paid for Mute, then let’s break up the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on my monthly Netflix subscription all these years

Everything you’ve typed this morning is as if you’re one the civilians from ‘They Live’, except you actually know about the aliens bellowing “CONSUME!” and you happily comply.

“Don’t have to tell me twice, skinless overlords! I was gonna do it anyway!”

“As great as those Spider-Man movies could be, they never showed the same dank, freaky, euphoric spark that Raimi had when he made Darkman.”

Interesting that Netflix changed its rating system from 1-5stars to thumbs up or down

It’s not even teachers accidentally killing students that worries me. I taught 7th grade for a while. I am also fairly comfortable around guns (grew up in the sticks where guns were ubiquitous and shooting stuff for food or fun was normal and part of my childhood). No way in hell would I want a gun in a classroom. I

Harry Neale was a treasure on Hockey Night in Canada, as witty as they come.

You say that, but there’s at least a 15% chance you’ll turn on the TV in three years and see him getting minutes in a Sabres/Blues game.

Huge pet peeve of mine with sixties movies. It literally is the same five or ten songs isn’t it. No Ballad of the Green Beret or Sugar Sugar which certainly both out charted anything by Hendrix or Creedance.

On the pile of “leave outs” all the 80's carry over stuff. November Rain, Cherry Pie, Thunderstruck, etc., etc. There was still a lot of (hugely successful) “eighties music” coming out in the early nineties.

I’m willing to bet everything you mentioned would be gone. In the same way that ‘60s movies are generally about the last 4 years of the decade, ‘90s movies will probably be about the first 4.  I think the earliest swing revival tracks didn’t hit until 1995, and nu-metal didn’t get going until almost 2000.

songs were fucking everywhere but won’t be used because they don’t match the grunge narrative.

And yet Love Fool abounds.

When do we get this level of analysis for TMBG’s “Flood,” which was the most impactful album of my youth and therefore should be of interest to everyone?

Of course scandals like this are nothing new in curling. Last year at the Tournament of Hearts the Skip of the Manitoba team was busted for having a blood-alcohol level under .12. The sport still hasn’t recovered.
