I'd always wondered what the deal was with that Hobbit movie. Now I know.

Watched the original Wall Street as well as Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. Not favorites of mine in either case, but both fun to revisit. And our queue is in chronological order, you see.

I feel bad for Henry, but I've always liked the Revs. I love that they're a low-budget team in a terrible stadium but have been involved in more exciting playoff games than probably any other MLS team.

Cover me, Pantkins.

My wife has a tradition with her sister to watch "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean," and as such I've watched it a few years too. It's pretty funny.

I don't think that even in 1977 he was much of a catch, not likely to be cast as a heroic lead, gawky and awkward, but that worked really well (intentionally or not) for the character that Luke was. I think he's great, and I love his enthusiasm for voice work. But I think he's good evidence for the point I intended to…

Thanks — I went back and checked both their feeds, though, and I'm happy to report that I think you may have drunkenly misinterpreted it. I see Trace retweeting Bill's comments and them sharing some banter in unrelated tweets, but there was nothing antagonistic that I could see. It even sounds like Trace agrees with…

Can you elaborate on a source for them hating each other? The only thing I really know that's been documented about the MST3K gang in terms of its rifts is that Hodgson didn't get along with producer/director Jim Mallon. And that beyond Mary Jo Pehl there wasn't any overlap between Cinematic Titanic and RiffTrax, but…

Leaving aside the racism, what strikes me is the "he's goofy looking and ugly" claim, because MARK HAMILL. (With apologies to Mr. Hamill.)

My hope and change gets fifty rods to the hog's head, and that's the way I likes it.

Yeah, is there a place to sign up for this?

From the first clip:

All of which could have been consumed at a leisurely pace within the time that Bea Arthur's scene lasts.

I find this to be a topic of great interest. I both agree and disagree with you, or perhaps it's more accurate to say that I don't have a definite stance. On one hand, I would like to believe that art can be judged by more or less objective standards. What I paint or record isn't ever going to be worth 100,000 bucks,…

I'm not sure it's worth debating the point of phones specifically. The important idea here, I think, is that your bills are one thing (whether you've sprung for a higher level of service or not), and your extras are another.

Exactly. And thanks for clarifying the writer.

I didn't know that. That makes me feel even better about being a huge radio listener.

Yeah. I mean, the phone at this point is almost a necessity. So that's like saying "You can afford 800 bucks for rent but not 25 dollars for a dinner out?" That's the spot I'm in, unfortunately.

I never really got into his rock stuff, but when he went for dark and folk on 1982's "Alberta" I really dug it.

I'm shocked that you're not in the clear majority, at least within this non-random sample. Which is good, because I can only have so many future ex-parents.
