Not the ones YOU could afford.

They did, I believe, under a "rumors and hints" section. I remember this, because when Gamecube was announced, there were references like, "remember those whispers you heard about Project Dolphin? Well, it's been renamed!"

Carrie Fisher circa 1980s. Same as the rest of us.

I came close once- just once- to this kind of glee, and it terrified me enough that I took up some bogus mindfulness meditation until I felt purged of that kind of negativity.
I was involved in a minor legal battle with an ex, and she was injured in a fall down a flight of steps. For a single moment, I thought "think…

Honestly, you have to be George Costanza to react with this amount of glee to an ex dying.

"Hallelujah" is a somewhat iconic song to use in film and TV now, which means every time you use it, you have to measure up against the versions that people used before you. And maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think the use of John Cale's stark, simple version of the song in "Shrek" for an unexpected moment of…

There's always the urban legend of Sondheim keeping a leatherman in chains in his apartment 24/7, or of his converting the basement of the brownstone he lived in during the 1970s into a sex dungeon.

Oh, you are, we are, but I'm not a never-used-to-be
So god bless your fuckin' past and to hell with your glory

Drew was middle class, but his two friends were no-collar workers most of the time. Oswald was a professional test subject for experimental drugs, wasn't he?

The TV soundtrack is a really cool snapshot of the 90s pre-hipster eclecticism, with show-related novelty clips interspersed with songs by Iggy Pop, Reverend Horton Heat, Tower of Power and even The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

You can say that, but the notion of drag as lifestyle as opposed to drag as homosexual signifier is still a murky one. Just a year or two ago, writer Harvey Fierstein and actor Billy Porter (both openly gay men) had a dispute over the character of Lola in the film and musical "Kinky Boots." Fierstein, who has a long…

If the show were more of a realistic piece, that would be more of an issue than it is. But Drew Carey Show was such a surreal, oddball world that it didn't seem to matter much that the main character had the speech patterns and demeanor of a comedy club emcee and not of an actual actor.
I mean, let's not pretend Ryan…

Honestly I'm hoping it'll be John Waters, as he played that same cameo in the 2007 film.

The John Waters novelty-songs collections are priceless. His Christmas album contains not one but two songs revealing that Santa Claus is a black lothario, and features Tiny Tim, maudlin spoken-word pieces, and less ironic things like Baltimore doo-wop and melancholy Christmas country.
The love songs album is much…

This is one of my favorite examples of Smarpid Homer- stupid enough to fill the role, smart enough to have genuinely witty dialogue. Unfortunately, Smarpid Homer is much harder to write well than Stupid Homer of Smart Homer.

Caligula had the temper, the Hapsburgs had the chin,
George III went cuckoo-bird, and Nero had that violin…
Richard, you'll remember, had the hump and the withered limb;
The Bushes, of TX, were nervous wrx because THEIR son was dim…
But look what happened to him!

Blue Oyster Cult deserves a retrospective discography dive, and this is precisely the impetus for one.

Del Toro was said to be working on one, but I've heard it rumored that "Crimson Peak" was him recycling his Haunted Mansion ideas into an off-brand film.
Disney is also pursuing an animated special (likely a backdoor pilot) based on the Mansion with artistic design by Gris Grimly.

That was my reaction to the trailer- it seemed inspired by, but not slavish to, the "National Lampoon's Vacation" movies without actually trying to RECREATE one of those in PG form.

The missing piece in between is that the film is based on the young adult novel series "Freaky Friday" by Mary Rodgers (daughter of Richard Rodgers the famous composer), who wrote several following the same family who tend to run into metaphysical misadventures like that. "Freaky Friday" was inspired by "Vice Versa,"…
