I was shown this movie by an ex who grew up watching it with her family as presumably a "black classic" along with Bebe's Kids and Rock A Doodle. She said the segment with the evil dolls was a particular favorite in her house, and her mother would refer to them as "little niglets".

I'd have gone with the Blunch Black of Blotre Blame

Except Harmon's whole schtick is being super talented in spite of his terrible personal skills.

Whoa, whoa. Let's not get into Lost level conspiracy theories about lore. Besides, she's not a jealous jockey.

Her name is Zweig

I always found the story about the Astor murders to be weird, even when this aired. Like there was this big piece of Springfield history we weren't privy to, and was never mentioned before, or since.

This taped today. I RSVP'd and then they said there was no guarantee I could get in, so I didn't bother trying to go. Especially since people waited for 12+ hours a few days ago for a HarmonTown taping. Fuck that.

I mean, the crux of that situation is Lorne saying "I've heard you sing". Whether that means he saw Lindsey's destiny as always being a stalwart goon of evil, it meant he had to go.

Hmm, and now I'm reminded of Andy Hallett's untimely death.

I remember After the Fall, the first Angel comic series, to be actually pretty alright. You get some closure and some answers, and then they muck it all up by bringing Angel into the Buffy comics.

I think the main difference is that Joe Schmo never felt like it was abusive, and even in that second season when the Joe figured it all out, they just rolled with it and hired her to be another actor for the next mark. They didn't hire a fake shrink to convince her of it all

Even the Celebrity edition, the only one I remember watching, was pretty compelling TV

I remember that. It was the Chicago season, and it was that black chick's birthday on 9/11.

He's basically the equivalent of one of your "presenters". A guy who hosts a bunch of stuff.

Yes, IIRC Joe and one of the girls (I wanna say it was eventual winner Zora, but I can't be sure. She was also presented as the "innocent one" so it probably wasn't her.) head into the woods to escape the cameras and then you hear wet noises and subtitles that say "*slurping*" or something to that effect.

Happy Gilmore still holds up. Billy Madison does NOT. Good lord, is that movie terrible. There's like a full minute (or at least it felt like it) where he's just dancing to Culture Club. For absolutely no reason.

And they often pick a random one in the middle of the series instead of the beginning, and just start merging books together randomly. Like A Walk Among the Tombstones or One for the Money.

Shit, you think it'll be in the top 25 movies of the year?

Who the fuck would glorify a cameo by Olivia Munn? Or just Olivia Munn, for that matter?

I didn't get a Veronica Mars/Terriers/Community notification for this?
