Do they forget about it, though? I’m seeing it come up repeatedly here.

Never saw it, but it inspired that “funky Warhorse” song on Conan, making its existence worth it.

Mine was pretty much the same experience (not being the right age, which pretty much has to be full-on little kid, to enjoy it uncritically), and just about making barf noises out loud in the theater at the “he’s just a mean old man without a mommy” line. I also remember likening the painfulness of the terminally…

The problem with way too many “your brother’s in the middle of Afghanistan” jokes is that they didn’t leave enough room to mock the idea of that same old fart dad being so apathetic about showbiz, and so antipathetic towards comedy, that he’d never even heard of “Who’s On First.”

Since they’ve clearly decided to stop trying to pick good shows, an I Love Lucy re-enactment in that series seems ever less likely.

Having watched Dance, Girl, Dance on TCM the other day, I have to say the people who told Lucy she wasn’t enough of a looker to make it in the movies were idiots.

You know it, I know it, the American people know it.

OK. Still, this isn’t a link-aggregate site (or isn’t/wasn’t touted as one) where you’ve expected to go to linked articles before commenting. Also, I’m out of free Vanity Fair articles. The writers here should mention stuff if they want us to take it into account.

Where did you get the hugging stuff from? Is it in another story about this? (I went back and the story here seems to refer just to inappropriate talk.)

Hey, is that the rich girl’s rival/enemy from that Motherland show?

Yeah, the first II (as in the 86 one you refer to) is probably my favorite of the series in general. Partly because the VHS rental version of the first original in my day was such a shitty copy of such a shitty, murky print that you could barely tell what was going on, aside from Leatherface slamming that metal door…

He’d be too busy fighting to keep the Family out of his stronghold.

I’m starting to hate these things, especially since they’ve now moved fully on to shows I thought flat-out sucked back in the day, like these two. Doing the WKRP turkey episode for Thanksgiving was right there.

“It’s a shitty, shitty job, Renfield... but you have to do it! Or I’ll fire you!”

I’d sit through FGF again long before any of those. Ugh.

It didn’t care, it was already dead.

Just being in love with your car can save you all this hassle.

I remember seeing a news special or documentary, I can’t even remember if it was about metal, rock music, gay celebrities or what anymore, but it was some years after the major gay rock stars like Freddie, Halford and Elton were fully, officially out. There was a bit where Halford was being interviewed and he was…

“It’s just their over-the-top stage persona! Rock stars aren’t like other people!”

I wouldn’t worry too much about what some random nobody with a hot take for a name whose entire joke was “lol some people are old” tries to throw at you.
