"You sexy Klingon bastard, you killed my son!"

Was the cloud V'Ger?

Avildsen was an utterly bizarre choice to direct a black comedy starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. The combination of unsuitable director and pissed-off, coked-up star was always going to ensure a problematic film shoot.

Oh man, A Night in Heaven. Under other circumstances, a movie starring Lesley Ann Warren as a sexually-frustrated college professor who gives in to her libidinous desires would be all kinds of awesome. But paired off against Christopher "The Blue Lagoon" Atkins… Yeeuch. Still, it's a fascinating piece of 80s-ness,…

Cool Runnings. And The Great White Hype, if you view "Irish" Terry Conklin as the hero of the film.

I like Neighbors enough on its own, but reading up on what happened behind the scenes makes it even more fascinating, like an exhibit in a trial. Bob Woodward's Wired has all sorts of problems, but I can't deny how riveting the account of Neighbors is, with the conflicts between all the proven heavy-hitters (Aykroyd &…

Goddamn it Al, run for President. You took on Fred Silverman, why doncha take on Trump?

One of the many highlights of the bootleg remix/mash-up album The Floydhead Propulsion Project: splicing the "Pigs in Space" intro into "Pigs on the Wing."

The expedition should be fine as long as there are no pigs on the wing.

They couldn't let their Interstellar Overdrive go to waste.

"Oh my God - the sun!"

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

"The undiscovered covfefe from whose bourn no traveller returns puzzles the will."

And, of course, the toy store itself is at least partly to blame for the massacre that went down. A toy store that sells a lethal bow-and-arrow set?

I'd love it if Phantom of the Paradise was adapted to the stage (because really, why hasn't it already?), but my fear is, what if it's so successful, it leads to a remake of the film? There should only be *one* Phantom of the Paradise film!

Speaking of Sister Margaret (Gilmer McCormick), considering she was supposedly so concerned with Billy and sensitive to his trauma, didn't she fuck up hugely by getting him the job at the toy store? More than anyone, shouldn't she have anticipated what was bound to happen when the store rolled out the Christmas/Santa…

No mention of the sadistic Mother Superior from Silent Night, Deadly Night???

"Snikt it to me!"

This kinda reminds me of Swayze's "Be Nice" speech from Road House .

So with Munch going to SVU and Bayliss going to jail (probably), was it left to Meldrick to run the bar by himself?
