That same DVD commentary also has one of them groaning "It shouldn't be sexy… BUT IT IS!" at Edna in a negligée and I'm pretty sure I quote that as much as any actual Futurama line proper.

For a very long time, Fry's agonized reaction to realizing he's either going to die or mate with Edna was the hardest I'd ever laughed at anything.

Also, Wes Anderson isn't afraid to cast his characters in an uncomfortable and deeply critical light when he needs to.

It can be two things.

I'm pretty sure that's the same universe where Al Jourgenson can still string a sentence together.

I dunno, I think hating Phil Collins in Tarzan only proves that you are a human being with functioning ears.

I'm not implying that they stop being great bands because they influence a lot of crap. I guess what I should have specified is good bands that have influenced an almost disproportionate number of bad ones. Something like The Beatles wouldn't really count because they've influenced virtually everyone.

No, no! I meant they were a good band inspired by The Velvet Underground.

Considering it's the one time the band ever tried anything that bleak and claustrophobic, I'd say they pulled it off amazingly well.

Talking Heads would like to have a word with you about that.

Would now be a good time to point out that his performance in The Vampire's Kiss is, in spite of its ubiquitous meme-ification, actually a really frightening and brave performance in context?

Other great bands that inspired waves of shitty followers? I'd like to nominate Faith No More.

Agreed, and I think it's pretty much the culmination of everything he'd been working toward from Robocop onward. I definitely understand why people critique it as being hamfisted, but there's something really perversely satisfying about seeing a big-budget action film that uncompromisingly nasty.

Devoting your creative life to improvising on a theme isn't always a bad thing, though - I'd argue that that's essentially what Wes Anderson does and I think that, if anything, he's just gotten better at what he does over time (though I understand that that's debatable). The problem with someone like Kevin Smith as I…

Username… comment… synergy? I think?

And they'd better be sincere about it.

Johnny Cash has the final word on everything he's covered, really.

Color Me Badd, "I Wanna Sex You Up"

I CAN TALK TO SCRAWLER HOWEVER I FUCKING WANT AND I AM ALSO VERY SORRwait no DAMN IT

I was just about to say something like this. He is a genuinely great film director.
