I didn't realize it until I re-watched it with some friends a while back, but Anthony Michael Hall really holds that movie together.

If you haven't read it, you need to pick up 'Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gansters, and the Birth of the Comic Book'. It's a very well written book about the early days of comic books and their creators. I believe this is where I read the story about Kane having a showing at an art gallery. He'd taken all these paintings…

The only reason I remember that movie is because a group of friends made a joke about it after seeing the commercial, and one of my friends got pissed because she thought that it looked funny.

About 150 pounds.

Are you sure it wasn't just that Kane took credit for Bill's marriage?

Carvey's funny, but he's a second banana at best. That's not a dis. Tim Conway is the greatest second banana ever, and he's brilliant.

It's an artifact of its time. Watching it in the theater with the knowledge that Lee died making the film gave his performance a freaky edge that made it seem deeper and more emotional that it really was. Essentially, it the movie version of "You don't know, man! You weren't there!"

She died in a car crash, I believe. So it's basically him working out his anger through Eric Draven. I met O'Barr at a con in '02 or '03. He was really friendly and kept asking people if they had drugs.

Not speaking about your friend, but my experience in the academic setting is that a lot of it is ego driven. They're so convinced of their own intelligence as being superior that they don't give any effort to anything else.

When I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a
dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the
world. I made my arms short, and I roamed the back yard. I chased the
neighborhood cats. I growled, and I roared. Everybody knew me and was
afraid of me. And one day my dad said "Bobby, you are 17.…

It was rehearsing for 'Ghouls and Dolls'.

How about Celebrity Shark Apprentice? Where D-list celebrities are dumped into a tank with a ravenous great white shark. Whoever survives gets and internship at NBC.

I upvoted, but you really deserve a gold star for that SNL reference.

Spider-Man would be very hard to watch if he didn't have Green Goblin and Doc Ock to fight. The fact that all of them exist makes the setting fantastic.

Can you blame them? The first one hangs out with an imaginary elephant, and the other always has a child molester following him around.

Pickled Beets Creature. Monster is a derogatory term.

It explains why Bert and Ernie's heat stopped working last winter.

"Management decided to 'go green', and so we're now powering the whole office ourselves. They want us to pedal even faster hoping they can sell some of the excess to the accounting firm a floor down."

Or just flipping people off in the dark.
