Back during the Nirvana days there were always rumours that Dave wanted to write songs for the band but Kurt wouldn’t let him. At the time it made Kurt seem like an overly controlling asshole but now I listen to the Foo Fighters and I get it.

I don’t think Foo Fighters were ever considered edgy lol

You must REALLY shit your pants over Pat Smear then.

I sometimes mull over the alternate universe where Val Kilmer embraced the career of light comedy that “Top Secret” and “Real Genius” suggested he could’ve had, rather than become a matinee idol/real actor.

I-I think I swallowed a toothpick.

Hang on, let me write this down.

Wind’s howling.

Personally, no. I liked using those shows as a place from which to launch my toys’ adventures. I was such a good little consumer!

Anyone else who grew up in the 80s with cartoons like He-Man (and Thundercats and other toy-based stuff) feel rather jealous at those, a few years younger, who got to have Spongebob Squarepants and the like? You know, _good_ cartoons? The sense I am trying to describe here is whatever the opposite of nostalgia is. 

No one’s completely immune to the Dunning-Kruger effect!

I mean, they got to play at a presidential inauguration nearly 15 years after burning bright for 5 minutes of fame and Manson’s heading to jail after a long slow dive into mediocrity. I’d say they kicked his ass.

The problem is they’re forcing whiteness. And have been for a long time. Forcing diversity isn’t the issue, diversity is just acknowledging the world we live in. 

This movie has an ace instance of the Tom Cruise Run, one of the first I can remember. He has an argument or something with Tripplehorn, she runs out of the house sobbing. He bursts out of the door and goes after her like a T1000; it’s so completely disproportionate in intensity to how she’s running and she can’t have…

In the movie he gets blackmailed and neutralizes that threat by telling his wife, which is a smart play. But he tells her that he’s telling her because he feels guilty! Not because his hand was forced. Which is still a pretty shitty thing to do.

“There is a film maker, who I have known for 35 years. Ummm, ummm”

i hate to say it, I’m a blood-red bleeding heart liberal, but the dude in the car ACTUALLY WAS CHARGED WITH GUN POSSESSION. Which kind of makes the “allegedly had a gun in the car” part seem like, you know, a valid concern which was correctly identified and intervened on? Like, I get it, it probably had to do with two…

Man, it must suck having such bad taste in comedy to think Tim Heidecker isn’t funny at all.

I agree this is a notable move symbolically, but really, he’s just moving from one UMG entity to another. The Universal Music accountants probably just had to change a code associated with Stevie in Excel.

The Beetljuice ‘Day-O’ scene is one of my favorite moments in all of cinema, and my favorite ‘micro-genre’ of movie scene - people involuntarily dancing. (See also: the Floor Show from Rocky Horror Picture Show)

I'm thinking the same. I kind of expected more color without falling into the cartoonish palette of the tv series (which I love btw)
