Yeah, it was only a matter of time until he went back to this well. 

The 1983 movie “Flashdance” has improbably caused me to ponder a deep socio-cultural question... one of which I’d really like to know anyone else’s thoughts on.

I’ve been a fan of many bands/performers who seem unfairly maligned, and Fred Durst is NOT unfairly maligned.

I used to live near the top of a mountain in what I’d describe as a mountain ghetto (we could see one of Johnny Depp’s homes atop a much, much taller mountain). Point is I knew where on the mountain the dogs were and one nightmarish day new people moved in with a dog and the dog completed the chain, i.e. Dog 1 barks,…

Hell, there was a rumor that in the early days of MTV an internal memo told employees to stop using their magnetic key cards to cut cocaine, as it was de-magnetizing them.

Nice. Just like the other poster my family also watched that a lot on HBO decades ago. It was one of the first things I checked out when I got a Netflix subscription (mailed DVDs)...

I think “Titus Andronicus” is great. Yes, some of the stuff in there is surprisingly nasty (one name: Lavinia). But if that’s what you’re looking for it doesn’t disappoint.

It’s tempting to go with Shakespeare (“Hamlet” can be studied forever, rewardingly, and the fun of “Richard III” is always there to re-discover), but I’ll go with “Don Quixote.”

Re: Fox News and the people who watch it religiously, there really is a clue here in understanding their worldview.

He was the Trump administration’s first ‘let’s-see-what-happens’ experiment... His first “press conference” was him yelling an untrue statement at the gathered journalists... I think Trump literally thought that all the journalists would be kowtow’d into some version of ‘Oh, boy, we’ve met our match now! Better report…

Measuring how much one liked his movies WHEN they came out, “Cyborg” would be my favorite too.

My favorite touch in that scene is how he does a quick headcheck to make sure no one’s looking before he grabs the kid. 

I’m loathe to bring this into it, because this should all be about the man and his work and it’s a huge distraction, but...

Well my old man must be bummed. I could always tell that when he saw “Easy Rider” in the theater as a young man it was probably one of those life-defining moviegoing experiences.

Having read about the Manson murders over the years (I’d recommend the Jeff Guinn book from a few years ago), the portrayal of Squeaky Fromme seemed believable to me. No, we don’t know if she ever said she “fucked his brains out” about George Spahn (by definition it’s a fictitious conversation anyway), but she was…

A surgeon? That’s the person who... cuts you up. 

Wow, I guess he’s successfully buried how he got his foot in the door at Fox News: Bill O’Reilly would send him out to ambush people at their homes, places of business, etc. I believe he once followed someone into their home garage and followed a woman in her car for many hours. It became a schtick and Bill O’Reilly…

You the Man Now Dog!

Oh yeah the parallels are there. There are multiple Trump supporters guilty of violent crimes whose defense attorneys are using a ‘my-client-fell-under-the-sway-of-Trump’ defense. The Florida guy who sent the pipe bombs was sentenced this week, and a Montana man who literally cracked the skull of a 13-year-old boy who…

I remember that... I always wondered if Nugent and Trump had some sort of conversation vis-a-vis “So how did YOU get out of Vietnam?”
