I am not sure how to explain my feelings of fondness about Selleck, and can't figure out what I would do if I ever met him. I certainly don't want to hug him, and I'd feel weird shaking his hand. I just want to bask in the glory of that charming bastard.

At some point in the late 80s, if Ford didn't have a bullwhip (Last Crusade is great), he seemed to me to just sleepwalk through his roles.

By "less autobiographical than usual," do you mean that there will be even more made-up stories of her getting raped in college?

Post-Raiders, I can't think of a Harrison Ford role that Tom Selleck wouldn't have been at least as good in, if not better.

Clearly, Tom Selleck is history's greatest monster.

I cannot explain how happy I am to see Tom Selleck do a Random Roles. Is he as cool as he seems on TV, Will? I bet he is. Tell us how cool Tom Selleck was, Will! Tell us!

Honest to goodness, young AVClub readers, there was a time when Playboy did have great articles, interviews, and fiction. While no one would believe the person who said it, there were reasons why people would say "I read it for the articles."

In fairness, 50% of the comments on the AVClub are complaints about a particular article.

I think some people are offended simply because the white-washing was incomplete. When you think about it, it's kind of odd that we have toy lines devoted to pirates — by definition, criminals who robbed (and raped and killed) people as part of their job description. There weren't "good" and "bad" pirates — if you

I don't know if it was laziness as much as exhaustion, at least by around 2006. The country was in two distinct wars for a few years by that point, and one of them was going very badly, as just about every premise the Administration had ended up proving faulty. All the Bush Administration was focused on by that point

There was a time, several decades ago, where Cleveland radio was significantly better than other big city markets. Bowie and Bruce Springsteen broke big there before they made it in most other markets. The New York Dolls were played on the radio.

Great, now I want to hear Dwight do a cover of "Powderfinger"…

My take is that the reason it's a "nebulously defined artform" is because some people refuse to accept that rock n' roll is no longer a thriving genre of music. Hence, consideration of popular musicians like Madonna and the NWA who, though undoubtedly well-known and influential musicians, aren't rock n'roll.

Country artists are in because (1) they were roots/early influences to the rock n' roll genre, like Bob Wills, (2) had impressive rock n' roll careers before transitioning to country music, like Jerry Lee Lewis, or (3) both, like Johnny Cash.

I had a similar fear. I was already scared of blob-like substances in water thanks to "The Raft" segment of Creepshow 2 (why my dad thought that was acceptable children's fare I'll never know)…but at least that could be avoided by staying away from lakes. But I needed to use the bathtub every day…

REMEMBER ME, EDDIE?!!!

Thankfully, Jessica Rabbit has those things, too.

Wow, every single example identified in this thread thus far is something that scared the heck out of me as a kid.

That's what I figured — I always knew you were an alright dinosaur.

Stan Ridgway had a lot of fun songs! "Camouflage" works well for me.
