I canceled HBO because of him and that Foo Fighters guy, who seemingly own that network. He is just so *right* about everything. There might not be a heaven, purgatory, Valhalla, or what have you, but until we die (I mean really die, not near-death), it's not provable. He's selling as much of a bill of goods as Jerry…

Game Over, sailor.

When I was growing up in the '80s, Dave Allen at Large was on late night TV (KTTV or KCOP IIRC). I love this joke: Soldiers in a foxhole in WWI, and the Black Watch getting ready to go over the top for a charge. the Scottish regiment commander: "OK, we need complete silence for this charge. Remember, not a sound." Of…

A Man you Don't Meet Every Day is uilleann. Quieter, more beautiful and haunting than the warpipes IMHO. Also more difficult to play.

I haven't really heard anything from Fred Willard lately, so not sure if he's an example, or a counter-example.

Well, he could activate it with an iPhone app now or something.

"…they’re wrapping a bow around the reminiscent moments and shining a light on the package." I see what you did there, Carseen.

Well, it was the robot renegade cop who beat him up in the first place and framed the other guy. Sheesh, everybody knows that. (not slow, just tired of working)

I saw Polyester at the theater when it first came out, complete with Odorama card. A bit too much stunt casting with Tab Hunter, but I have a soft spot for it. Divine is a national treasure too.

I want to bear his children, haaaa-ha!

I also loved his DT-like talking with Sammy the Goose. "What was that Sammy?" flap-flap-flap "Oh yes, I know!"

Jackie Brown had a warmth and a humanity that was surprising, coming from QT.

I grew up Southern Baptist, so I am conflicted. I don't think it's the root of all evil, but I don't think it's a force for all good either. I guess I'm lukewarm, so God will spit me out of his mouth. When I was growing up in the church, my biggest feeling was "if these guys are going to heaven, and I will be with…

My aunt had a bumper sticker that said "God Said It..I believe It…and That Settles it." I don't even want to start. It reminds me of a movie I saw about Jamaican music, where the narrator says about Rastafarianism "You can just as easily close your mind with prayer and herb, as open it."

Plan 9 was actually funded by a religious group, and they made Eddie change the name from "Grave Robbers from Outer Space".

I liked this comment until I read the Nathan rip at the end, because I liked this article - a lot of grist for the mill. A new evangelical movie that stars Nicholas Cage…what do you need, a roadmap?

I hope you have a lead-lined basement, because he dropped 10 megatons of science!

I've seen this happen with my family. I'm OK with it, it makes the living feel better. We have a lot of weird ideas.

I would agree. My wife is Chinese, not yet a citizen so not yet a voter, but if she was, she would skew fiscally conservative. She knows Trump is a nut and would never vote for him, but most immigrants work extremely hard and sacrifice and started with basically nothing, kind of what Republicans say they do. I can't…
