Pet Sounds holds up much better, in my opinion. There's nothing on it as cheesy as When I'm Sixty-Four, and nothing as tedious as Within You, Without You.

The only other films I can think of having the same effect were There's Something About Mary, the first Naked Gun, and maybe 40 Year Old Virgin. And none of them matched how nuts the audience went over that second Austin Powers. People were spilling popcorn, I thought a woman near me was going to pass out from…

Twenty years ago… I can remember seeing posters for this and thinking it looked terrible. And by this point I'd had more than enough of Myers from SNL. But for some reason I went and saw it anyway, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Ended up being one of he first DVDs I ever bought.

That awful cover takes me right back to my days of working at Borders in the '90s. I think the reason that book got so much display time was because booksellers couldn't get over how terrible it looked. I never read so much as a page of it, but this article pretty much sums up how I expected it to read.

I suppose it's too much to hope for a late career rejuvenation/re-invention ala Johnny Cash, but it's at least not embarrassing. Sounds at least as good as the type of thing you'd hear on an album on a small Southern blues/R&B label today.

That's what was so sad about the whole thing. Although I apparently enjoyed it enough back then to warrant owning the DVD, I certainly wasn't so enamored to warrant watching it three more times to hear the commentaries. Yet I felt like I had to since I'd spent the money on the DVD.

As I made the transition to streaming, I was actually surprised to see that when I bought a film on Amazon, it didn't come with at least some of the extras. I guess I'd just assumed you got some sort of package of options similar to what the DVD had. At least some "Making of" videos and the commentary as an audio…

Hanks? Whatever. Let me know when they bring Buck Henry back.

I know it's about more than that, but that's the part of the lyrics that sticks out like a sore thumb, and the length, turning up towards the end of an album that's been paced pretty well, makes it a slog for me, no matter how good the guitar work is. Maybe it will grow on me, since I've only just discovered that…

"Kill Your Sons", for one.

The first time I heard Take No Prisoners, I hated it. I'm one of those people who compulsively rates songs as I play them on my iPod, and nearly everything on it garnered two stars from me.

Maybe it was harder to tell at the time, but listening to Reed now, even his worst albums have at least a couple worthwhile songs. Conversely, I think you could argue that his best albums also manage to contain one or two dreadful moments. I listened to Ecstasy for the first time recently, and was thinking it was a…

I guess it's a generational thing, but as people who grew up in the '80s and '90s, my wife and I are often commenting on how odd it is that there isn't a music video channel anymore. It was such a constant throughout high school and college, that I still find myself with the urge to put music videos on in the…

There was a period in the late '70s - early '80s when it seemed like someone would perform this at Sunday church service every Father's Day. Always some guy in his teens, just learning to play guitar, voice cracking, playing just a hair too fast because he's nervous and clumsily skipping over any parts that were…

Haven't had time to watch the whole thing, but checked out the infamous last five minutes. A part of me thinks that if a critical favorite had directed it, it wouldn't be nearly so reviled.

I feel like they're so eager to get to the good stuff, that they're going to throw everything they can at us from week to week. It would be as if Walking Dead spent part of its first season giving us shadowy glimpses of The Governor or Negan instead of letting them arrive in due time.

All excellent choices. About 10 years ago I finally got around to buying all the albums, and was surprised at just how many great new songs there were to discover, even at the point where the band had whittled down to just Dolenz and Jones. I think every album has at least something worth tracking down.

After years of hearing various performances of "You'll Never Walk Alone", most of which varied from good to outstanding - it just seems to be a song that brings out the best in its performers - I was excited one night to finally sit down and watch the musical it came from.

Seeing as how the description left out the horrific JImmy Carter puppet that pops up during "Mother Nature's Son", I'd have to agree.

It may not be a good film, but I can think of plenty of moments in otherwise good comic book films that are far worse than anything that happens over the entirety of Fantastic Four. There's nothing in it as embarrassing as the emo Peter Parker stuff in Spider-Man 3, or as self-serious or convoluted as the worst…
