Man I remember listening to him when my college existence became increasingly nocturnal. I’d be lying if I said my and my friends’ laughter was laughing WITH him, but at the same time I suppose he deserves props. He may not have been the first person to do the style he did, but he was the most noteworthy (at least for…

With “Cuckoo” he did create one of the greatest novel-to-movie adaptations of all time, a total peer to “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

This probably requires a qualifier between when one was a child vs. an adult, but when I was a kid I loved/was terrified by the opening credits sequence for the original “Amityville Horror.”

Although I came to totally like the movie and especially the opening credits sequence, my experience seeing it in the theater also started like that. I knew nothing about the film and attended it with a mixed-gender group of friends. My buddy and I got very stoned beforehand, and this being when marijuana was still…

In other but somewhat related news: a good morning for Trump shadenfreuda. Petty as it is I’m glad whenever the alleged pee tape gets headlines, and seeing Trump lose his shit on Twitter is always fun.

I had the same epiphany after “Capturing the Friedmans.”

“...his lead suspect is a particularly intimidating novelist...”

Re: him and music... I still remember when he said in 2012 that Rage Against the Machine was his favorite band. To anyone who ever liked that band, there was an audible scream of “Whaaaat!?”

I was thinking about humorous Tweets in response to Michael Cohen, but then it occurred to me: do most people know about “Says who?” It’s played constantly whenever he’s discussed on some radio shows and podcasts I like, but I don’t know if it’s well-known outside that universe.

Fox News office worker: I- I don’t understand. So you’re saying you’re Harvey Weinstein Jr.?

I can’t quite nail it down, and it may be just a function of getting older, but I don’t think the culture recognizes something as ironic anymore... at least not in the way you’re pointing out.

Re: Bring it All Back Home:

Seeing this post just made me remember: I have never tried harder to get into a band and failed to do so in my life than I did with HUM.

It could be argued that Jill Stein voters helped push Trump across the finish line. Jill Stein was the candidate of the Green Party, whose top platform is environmentalism. Of all the horrible things Trump has done, he has probably screwed the environment the most, in that while many things he has done can be fixed…

I was in college at the time. My wife was in college several years later, during the run-up to the Iraq War. Point is, it’s hard to convey to her how apolitical myself and my friends were at the time. As a totally political person now, it’s even weird for me to remember how politically disengaged you were if you were…

Sinclair statement: “It is ironic that...”

Agreed. As much as I’m loving this Stormy Daniels stuff, and am totally fine with this being the thing that brings him down (if it does, long shot it may be), I don’t think it coming out two years ago would’ve caused his voters not to vote for him.

1989 was one of my favorite years for music because of all the... hair metal (“Not the face!”).
