(Clears throat) That's ANCIENT space aliens.

Or just Kari in the Catholic schoolgirl skirt she used to wear…ahhh the good ol' days.

That's why I hated Boston so, that same, generic guitar tone. Tom Schultz, king of the scooped mids.

Emphasis on cheap. Webb actually shot one whole episode in only one day, talk about grueling. he had a bad rep as a bullying taskmaster.

I absolutely love watching The Green Berets, such a ham fisted piece of hokey propaganda. Hell, it even has a little orphan boy…and George Takei!

It was also the first big Hollywood production to film behind the Iron Curtain. Great cast.

It's been a while since I read Clarke's 2001… but wasn't the Discovery framed as an international effort in the book?

B-but something wonderful is about to happen!

Ah yes, Heywood Floyd doing the robot…

As long as it's SPACE: 1999

I love so many Pretenders songs and I still have a mad crush on Hynde, but I can easier cite my least favorite song, My City Was Gone. To me it's an intolerable, predictable, blues chord progression slog. The dragging tempo doesn't help. I can appreciate the subject matter, but the music side of it annoys me beyond…

You say that now until you have to stand in line to get your ration of county lockup quality toilet paper.

Night Flight definitely warped me in all the right ways.

I only discovered that TCM showed such wonderful whack-a-doo stuff just a few months ago. My DVR is now full of all kinds of crazy shorts. TCM even showed David Lynch's disturbing cartoon series Dumbland…f-bombs and all.

Not to mention Boston.

My wife had fond and nostalgic memories of watching On Golden Pond as a kid. We watched it not to long ago, it hasn't aged well. It feels like a made for t.v. movie and Henry Fonda being an angry old man playing an angry old man is hard to watch.

In one of those wonderful moments of synchronicity, I've been thinking about this movie a lot lately. For some reason it just popped in my mind a week or so ago and hasn't left. Thanks for this write-up, it's a fascinating and surprisingly personal epic considering the scale and scope of the film.

Eh, Ray Wise had a gig and a gig is a gig. I work in advertising, one time I had to work on a really cheesy, crappy project with a terrific creative director. When I lamented what we were working on to my creative director, her wise response was, "The checks all spend the same way." I'm sure that's Ray Wise's response.

My few center-right friends can usually grudgingly agree to points that differ than their own. Far-right? Not so much.

Seems to me that you can apply those thoughts to any far-right conservative type in general. They prefer to live in an echo chamber and seek out entertainment and news sources that only adhere to their worldview.
