Reminds me of this time I met this bro at a friends party who said he worked for Marvel Comics in the early to mid-1990's (doing what, I forget). Without irony or remorse, he bragged to me that he would frequently access their archival vault to steal original artwork, rare back-issues, and other priceless stuff. I

I have very vague memories of seeing Return of the Jedi in the theater with my parents. I was five years old. Might've been the first movie my parents took me to.

Omitting the image of J-Law, this poster is a ripoff of the cover of the band Earth's album "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull" from 2008, art by Arik Roper: https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a… The grotesque meets the floral, and the font is identical.

We don't know that. All he did was convince the women that there wasn't a "green place" and that they should go back to the citadel instead. Everything else can be chalked up to good fortune.

Makes me want to see a version of Fury Road where Tom Hardy plays a character consequential to the plot.

This episode was the most suspenseful and ultimately satisfying things I've seen on screen (TV or film) in ages. A great antidote to the typical cliffhanger cop out of most TV series, which adds to my growing craving for original, self-contained film and TV that isn't held hostage by the promise of more seasons,

I was just typing that. See the irony? It's blinding.

Clicked to see if "Sugar" made the list. It did, rightfully so. Loved that movie. I recommend that movie, especially to baseball fans, every chance I get. Obviously a poignant movie about immigration, too.

True "Aliens" fans know all the subtext. Vietnam, capitalism, feminism, motherhood, etc. It's why the film is still so resonant and beloved decades later. Certainly is for me, and surely for a lot of other fans.

Thanks for this!

Oh man, Circuit City. I spent a lot of time and money there growing up. I bought my first Sony Walkman there. First couple Discmans, first boom box, a couple of those silver Aiwa stereos with the built in subs. Even bought my current sound system there back in '05. A pretty kick-ass Onkyo amp/receiver and set of

Loved this movie, and still do. Saw it in the theater as a pre-teen. With Empire of the Sun ('87), Last Crusade ('89), Dick Tracy ('90), Memphis Belle ('90), The Rocketeer ('91), and the TaleSpin cartoon ('90), I was absolutely obsessed with 30's-40's era stuff at the time. Art deco, gangsters, early 20th century

Come on. Would gladly pay $10 for a well mastered 320 mp3 bundle. $45 for vinyl. Forget it.

"Nothing black metal about this" is a bit obtuse right?

Yep, I had it. I forget, was it attached to Ghostbusters cereal or some other cereal?

“Mi Cucu” (1993) by La Sonora Dinamita isn't really a Spanish-language version of "My Toot-Toot" per se, at least not lyrically. "Cucu" = ass. The cumbia version is explicitly about this dude who can't stop staring at this girl's ass and just wants to grab it, and she rebukes him and threatens to smack him in the

Don't worry, Bernie fixes everything by the end of the film.

We all know what happens when somebody argues that the solution to male ogling is to de-emphasize the female form: http://www.nocaptionneeded….

"Attack the Block" was one of the most tonally strange movies I've ever seen, and I found myself not rooting for anybody in the film.

The second I saw this pic, I knew one of the characters would enter a reality where America won the war. This is exactly how the season ended. In the last 20 minutes of the show I was just waiting for the moment this would happen, so yeah, in a way - spoiled.
