“Oh Billy Corgan, yeah, he’s cool!”

I don’t think it was too much later that she got high off the NO at the dentist, too.

Maybe it’s me but I’m really missing how this article aligns with the headline, or what The Smiths has to do with electing Donald Trump.

Re: Bloodsport

Seeing the first one a year or so after it came out, at 11, was revelatory. It was a once-in-a-lifetime horror-viewing experience because even a few years later Freddy Krueger was so embedded in the culture that it was basically impossible to watch the first one with virgin eyes.

Nothing beats Major Major Major Major.

Think about Bill Maher what you will, but this implication that he’s somehow insufficiently critical of Trump is bizarre.

Definitely intrigued. This was one of the weirder times in American culture, and you don’t have to be that old to remember it firsthand. I recall being suspect to my friends’ parents and some classmates because of liking certain music and movies.

Having just read the book about Jonestown, I find myself really struggling with how to think about the people who join these cults in the first place. It’s like, yeah, some of them have very limited options in life (just beat an addiction, socioeconomic factors, etc.) and maybe that’s a little more understandable, but…

I’m only tangentially aware of the dystopian teen entertainment of the last several years (e.g., Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent, etc.), but a common motif seems to be teen live being endangered for the entertainment/profit of adults, and the teens standing in solidarity against that corrupt system.

When I saw that he looked at the border-wall prototypes today, and announced that the wall had to be “see-through” because “you have to know what’s on the other side of the wall.”

That’s too bad. I remember chilling out to “Walk Don’t Run” with a little something-something in college (there was kind of a resurgence of that music because of Pulp Fiction).

I gotta defend. It’s important to remember that TMITHC is an alternate reality, while “The Americans” is rooted in a reality that actually happened (with many expert consultants for authenticity), so it’s naturally going to be more convincing.

Man, talk about an act that has not aged well.

In a French movie? Never!

“Lobo... Lobo... Bring back Sheriff Lobo!”

So what are we to think about the last shot of the movie, Kevin Kline’s Ben breaking down behind the wheel of the car?

RE: the Blade Runner poster.

Just the other day I heard “Beautiful People” on a ‘90s radio station. Probably hadn’t heard it since the actual ‘90s...
