The tech support aliens bit was the best gag all season, if you ask me.

Del Toro might be the right guy to market my Dune-themed Mescal, "¡Ay Hulud!"; each bottle comes with a dextromethorphan-laced gummy worm in the bottom, so you can space out just like Muad'dib.

Orrin Hatch is named after Orrin Porter Rockwell, an early Mormon convert and the personal enforcer of Brigham Young. He was often dispatched to intimidate (and possibly assassinate) enemies of the Prophet. So between the firearms and the polygamy, he was a bit of a wad shooter himself.

That's only human nature.

Not about the life stages of a Pak Protector.

If I remember correctly from music lessons many years ago, the Black Dog riff is in the Jazz Chromatic Minor scale in the key of A. Jazz Chromatic Major is a common rockabilly thing, heard in the chromatic run that drives the Stray Cats' "Rock this Town", which I think is either in A or D. That's a good song as far…

That's not what Uncle Gunter told me.

This guy sure uses the word "flecked" a bunch.

I can't decide. I've got a few. I'm including some things from my childhood.
-Patch Adams
-The House on Haunted Hill remake from 99 or 2000, I think
-The fourth Highlander movie. Again, I think. The one where the TV McLeod and the movie McLeod are both in it.
-King Ralph

Seemed to me that Season 2 had much more fan service. They cribbed the ending monologue from Raising Arizona and used pretty much the entire soundtrack from The Big Lebowski

Dammit. I was still hoping for InFury8D.

The Plinkett Phantom Menace review came out more than a decade after the Phantom Menace's initial release. Hardly seems like being on the cutting edge of pop culture is RLM's intention in making these reviews, but rather presenting an analysis of trends in moviemaking, which isn't necessarily tied to what's in the…

You are thinking of Tone Loc, sir.

Hollywood Steve Hitler?

Nobody would love that more than me, but they've had their chance a couple times and didn't take it. I doubt it's happening.

I'm guessing (and I'm sure I'm not alone in this) that they're going to give her some part of the Lady Stoneheart gimmick. Not the dead part, obviously, but the roaming about the countryside with a band of misfits hanging Boltons and Freys and Lannisters.

I do think she's often overbearing and preachy, but she usually learns her lesson in one way or another. In any case, the emotional climax of the show is when she gets recalled, which totalitarians tend not to allow to happen, usually by forcibly closing the polls.

I never thought about this before, but I bet Ron Howard could make one hell of a Spider-Man movie.

I never played Friday the 13th, but the combination of side scrolling and third person perspective dungeon-crawling (cabin-crawling?) reminds me of The Goonies 2. Anyone know if they had the same developers or roots in a similar engine?

"but No Doubt, along with bands like Kula Shaker and Cornershop and even Reel Big Fish helped me realize that rock wasn’t just guitars and distortion"
