John Travolta I thought did the best episode of the season. The sketch where he plays Dracula trying to convince his guest he isn't gay was funny(and now even more funny with recent allegations).

The problem was when they brought in Sandler, Farley, Spade, Chris Rock and Rob Schneider in around 1990, they helped in a lot of fresh energy to the show but you still had the established older cast. They were doing relatively more sophisticated and intellectual material while the new guys did silly and juvenile…

David Spade is my favorite of that era. Probably because I'm short and I wish I could be as snarky. I still love his interviews and hearing his stories.

Also, Japanese game shows are legitimately insane and messed up.

I always loved Ferrell. What I liked about him is that his characters who you're supposed to think are idiots. They are meant to be lauged at period. It's true of his SNL sketches and the movies. With most of Adam Sandler's comedies, they're idiots but we're also meant to think they're heroes we're supposed to root…

Not me. I loved John Goodman's episode. The sketch with Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond doing VH1 storytellers is one of my all-time favorites. "This song I wrote after I killed a drifter to get an erection(sings) Forever in blue jeans…!"

Huh, I don't feel that way at all. Wasn't the best season but I don't get hating it that much. Garth Brooks in particular was a surprisingly funny host.

When Norm does get a funny joke it kills. Also, unlike Dennis Miller, he actually is good in a lot of sketches, like when he impersonated Bob Dole, Quentin Tarantino, and CBS Sunday's Charles Kuralt. I also loved the sketch that's a parody of WEST SIDE STORY and he's the only gang member who's like "Why is everybody…

Also Janeane complained about how Sandler and co always got their sketches on air when she barely did. Well, it's because they already paid their dues. When they started on the four years earlier, they were struggling to get on air when the then established cast members like Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz were getting…

I love this story:

It was great because he didn't fit any Italian stereotype.

I remember that X-Files episode really freaking me out.

One of the brilliant things about RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK was that while it was set in the mid-30s but had as it's hero a character based a lot on Humphrey Bogart's Fred C. Dobbs from the late 1940s movie THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE. It was a darker, more complex type of character seen a lot in post-war noirs than…

The key to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK success is while set in the 1930s it's still very much an 80s action movie. It's based on cliffhanger serials but the originals let people wait a week after a cliffhanger. RAIDERS puts one after the other. It's way more action packed and propulsive than a movie made the year it was…

It's ironic because Disney the year before made the animated series TALESPIN which was way more successful evoking that era, using characters from THE JUNGLE BOOK.

Jennifer Connelly always looks great in a 1940s and 50s period clothes and hair: Rocketeer, Dark City, A Beautiful Mind, Inventing the Abbots.

Yeah the music is the thing I love most about the games.

Should have changed the title at least.

To quote a riff by Tom Servo during the SOULTAKER episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 when someone in the movie said Led Zeppelin was wrong about there never being a "Stairway to Heaven":

I'm predicting Cersei's going to unleash the wildfire that the Mad King had hidden throughout King's Landing to destroy the Sparrows.
