I truly wish I could get into Saga. I have tried on many occasions, but I just can't make it past the first issue. The lovestruck couple at the center of the story just strike me as Brooklyn hipsters in outer space and I truly cannot stand the two of them. Every time I've tried to make it through that first issue, I…

Well, in St. Louis it was 105.7 The Point. But most every major market had an alternative station that started up following the ascent of Nirvana in the early 90s, and for the first year or two played what most people actually considered "alternative rock." Then by the mid-90s. said actual alternative rock began being…

By 1994, I'd been waiting for commercial alternative rock radio to become a reality for at least 17 years. And it was finally happening! I could turn on my car radio and tune it to a high powered station not at the left end of the dial and hear Bob Mould and Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. and the Replacements. It was…

Has the Tori Amos/Michael Stipe soundtrack for Don Juan DeMarco that got rejected by the producers ever come out anywhere? (I'm interested just enough to ask here, but not so interested that I'll Google it.)

After that comment, I think my syphilis is clearing right up.

The prime example of this for me is The Searchers. I'd heard for years how it was the greatest western ever made, blah blah blah, and when I finally got around to watching it, I didn't think I was all that impressed. Sure, it was typically gorgeous to look at, because John Ford was constitutionally unable to make a…

A good observation, but we already know how good Gillian Jacobs looks dressed as a squirrel, so she should not be counted out.

And while we're casting a She-Hulk series/movie, let's have Isla Fisher as Patsy Walker, hey?

Ah, but you forget that in the Marvel Universe, people age according to character demands rather than the passing of time. Thus, Kitty Pryde (and all of the New Mutants) have aged 10 years or so in the same amount of time that Franklin Richards has aged two. And the members of Generation X have aged those same 10…

I love Krysten Ritter, but I'd rather see her play Death in a Sandman movie or something, or, as I mentioned in a SHIELD thread, Sersi of the Eternals.

Yeah, there went my cherished hopes of Lachman turning up as Colleen Wing in the Luke Cage series.

Pickles are worse than Attack of the Clones.

Drat! That was the exact joke I came here to make.

Diplo's a class act. Didn't he say something along the lines of if he'd had his way, MIA would be at home "all babied up" and taking care of the housework, but she had that annoying habit of pursuing her own career?

I had never noticed Brewster's resemblance to Sean Young, I guess because I've been too busy wishing Paget and Amy Acker would play sisters on something. They share the same nose.

Great news. Brewster was consistently hilarious on Andy Richter Controls the Universe and Enlisted convinced me that Keith David is the latter day Leslie Nielson - a comic genius trapped in the body of a straitlaced character actor who had been waiting for decades for someone to give him the chance to be funny.

I just not feeling Marry Me yet. The pieces are all there, but they just aren't really fitting together quite right. I watch it and I don't feel like I'm watching the characters. I feel like I'm watching actors playing the characters. There's something about it that just feels a little bit off - whether it's the…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to have the watermelon from Buckaroo Banzai, as long as it was sealed in lucite to prevent rot.

Very nice. I've seen them twice over the past few years and they obviously still have some gas in the tank - I wish they'd get in the studio and record some new stuff, also.
