I'm so pissed that Marvel/Disney never bothered picking up the rights to Rom and the Micronauts in perpetuity. I'm sure that would've been chump change for them, and both properties had significant ties to huge chunks of Marvel continuity that they can't really reference anymore. They could've picked up the rights…

I was positive that Tammy was going to grab a plugged in microphone and leap into the pool, and was glad they didn't go quite that sensationalistic.

Back in the 80s, my dear Baptist grandmother vowed to stop watching Days of Our Lives because there was one of those rock & roll bands on it one day. I was amused that, after years of watching all manner of murder, fornication and other adulterous goings-on in Salem, USA, it was a rock band that drove her to the edge…

"Never," by Jennylee Lindberg of Warpaint from her solo debut - the best Cure song of the 21st century.

Yeah, i don't question the wisdom of Lou shooting Bear the way he did. But it was against the code of the West!

I do wish Lou hadn't shot Bear in the back while he was running to his mother. Lou's an indisputable hero, but that wasn't his best moment.

I dunno. I thought that The Craft is the hottest Robin Tunney has ever looked.

I don't think it was a house fire - I believe she was smoking a cigar while driving and the ash fell on her dress and set it ablaze. It was pretty horrific, whatever the case, and now she apparently just doesn't feel like writing any more, which is a damn shame.

The Koog approves.

Or at least help everyone out and just assemble one movie/tv show out of all the various ones called life. It could feature Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Damian Lewis, Sarah Shahi and Robert Pattinson being abandoned by the rest of the elephant herd in the middle of the veldt.

I just thought this morning how I hadn't seen any Random Roles for a while, and checked and what the heck, there was an entire month of them I'd never seen notifications for, beginning with the great Norman Lloyd! I don't know what the hell is up with that. Random Roles is one of my favorite features on this site, and…

The last time I watched III, I finally managed to put my finger on my biggest gripe with it - every character in the movie acts like they know they're in a Godfather movie.

Congratulations on discovering a world of true sonic wonders, but how the heck does one become an 80s darkwave fan without crossing paths with the Cocteaus? That's like being a DC comics fan and not being familiar with Batman.

I had never known that Eve Babitz, the ridiculously voluptuous honey playing naked chess against Marcel Duchamp in the very famous photo, was also a brilliant writer. I just finished reading Eve's Hollywood, her hilarious, insightful and sometimes evil autobiographical "novel" from the early 70s detailing her life…

I had the same thought. "I caught up with a show that's still on tv but started last year" may technically meet the criteria for the question, but it seems to miss the spirit of it.

There were very few people doing better work than Stewart at the beginning of the 70s, and very few doing worse work than him at the end of the 70s.

Yeah, and there are dancing skeletons that I believe a the rubber ones you could buy in any dime store, back when there were dime stores.

Palmer was a very smart artist who did a lot of dumb music. But when he lived up to his potential on songs like "Looking for Clues," "Woke Up Laughing" and especially "Johnny and Mary" (all from the Clues album), he was every bit as great as the bigwigs of his era.

Kind of surprised to see Nagel labeled as "art deco." Someone, either the author or myself, has a shaky grasp on art history.

This was one of those articles that seemed like a much better idea at the start than it seemed to be by the end.
