Who is this for? I’ve been a huge Beatles fan my entire life, but Peter Jackson’s Get Back seems to have definitively covered the concert. Unless they show more of Billy Preston’s keyboard contributions (he seems to have been almost hidden during the concert), what more can another release really offer?

I think we're already in that world for movies.

I’m not sure how “major” a story this really was at the time. Maybe it was all over the tabloids, late night talk shows and Hard Copy, but I don’t think any mainstream news outlets really gave it any attention, if they reported it at all. Neither participant was really an A lister in 1995, either. Maybe Anderson was…

It isn't prescribed, as such. It's not like the doctor writes you a script for cocaine and you pick it up at a pharmacy. It's only used during surgery and the access is extremely tightly controlled.

I haven’t seen Heavenly Creatures since maybe the late 90s, but I think that was Winslet’s costar you’re thinking of. I’m pretty certain Winslet remained clothed in the film. If I’m not mistaken, the scene in question involved the other girl sleeping with some sleezy guy her mother was lodging.

Cocaine is actually used quite often as a local anesthetic in nasal surgery. In addition to the anesthesia, it causes vasoconstriction that limits bleeding. And yes, this is a completely FDA-approved use.

“Filmed in Troy, NY”, eh? I’ll bet that’s a first for a major TV or movie production.

I’m getting more of an emo vibe than grunge from that pic and the description.

I was coming at it from the opposite angle- people didn’t really describe themselves as “anti-fascist” in the 90s, other having a negative opinion of he historical examples (unless they were a member of one of the quickly dying eastern European communist regimes, who liked to portray the West as fascist). “Fascism” was…

I had a roomate one year at university who for some reason was still a huge Clay fan in the mid 90s, so unfortunately, I am all too familiar with his schtick. And yeah, his act was pretty much as you describe it. The punchlines of his “jokes” were usually the words “bitch”, “cunt”, “whore”,”asshole”, “blow me”, and…

However, as someone pointed about below, our generation did make Andrew Dice Clay famous. And I had to look up who Bill Hicks was (but I’ve always been uncool anuway).

The dead give away of the writer’s age is implying that nobody would remember the McDLT if this young muckraker had not bravely explored the depths of Youtube to find an old commercial. I don’t think its possible not to remember the McDLT if you ever watched TV in the mid 80s. The advertising blitz for this sandwich…

I remember an even worse McDLT commercial, if you can believe it.

Petroleum-based “cheese”.

I seem to recall they even showed this clip when he was interviewed on some late night talk show. So, yeah, nothing we new here.

Sounds like the ads I get whenever I buy something online... the exact same thing I just bought.

Of all the actual kings in history, I wouldn’t think “Louis XIV needs a mermaid fantasty treatment." Maybe Ludwig II?

I have this weird memory of briefly catching something on TV in which a slightly older Peter Billingsley and Scott Schwartz reprised their roles as Ralphie and Flick, but I can’t find any record of this thing ever existing. I thought I may have confused it in my mind with My Summer Story, but from the stills I see…

I’ve only been following these Whedon stories on a very peripheral basis, since I was never really interested in any of his work, but I was at least aware of him and the accusations.

Unless they both slammed their heads into each other, it would be really unlikely the other skier died.
