Love Boat had Charo all the time. Not boring.

I think of him as the grandfather in Spy Kids which of course implies an adventurous past.

I'm gonna leave this here and walk away.

Ebert said the same thing, more or less, about the star system foisted upon him (I'm entertaining myself with the conjured image, thank you). In the end it was like Ebert gave himself a de facto 5 star system because he could add any movie to his Great Movies list. Don't quote me on this but I think there were quite a…

I had no idea that A+ was not an available rating and it totally recasts this conversation and my view of your reviews vis-à-vis your grading.

Exactly. He ignored your argument so that means you were wrong. 'Merica.

(Reading the review and comments now because this is how close I am to caught up.)

If you were scared that people were going to beat you up at Ministry concerts then you probably would have been beaten up, (really, just pummeled in the pit). It was kind of a kill-or-be-killed atmosphere by the time of The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Great fun. Lots of bruises, lots of bruising.

My dad told me to make sure my didn't see my copy of Songs About Fucking.

Embrace, MacKaye's band between Minor Threat and Fugazi, probably did more to shape my worldview than any other single piece of culture. They released one great, very personal album.

You must mean Unity Church. Speaking as a Unitarian (UU, please, actually), we're neither hip nor proselytizers. I can't imagine how you could make Ralph Waldo Emerson seem cool. He didn't even have a beard.

I was just watching the DVD of the special edition yesterday and I noticed that the newer fx were awful compared to the older. Like I was wondering if they hired Ray Harryhausen and just told people they used new technology.

Haven't movies been the equivalent of HD for a long time? Like the Star wars Blu-ray for example - wasn't the analog film a high enough resolution already?

Downvoted for explaining the joke but upvoted because the joke you explained was made by somebody who didn't get the original joke.

The people I worked with were not trying to get replacement IDs in order to vote. They were most often looking for employment but I'm sure they'd appreciate your advice. But, sure, if someone's wallet gets stolen they shouldn't get a vote until they have enough time on their hands to track down all the documents they…

Tell that to people who are having trouble getting state IDs and want to vote.

I've done volunteer work where a good part of what we did was help people get state IDs. It can be much more difficult than you assume, onerous even at times. Have fun getting a copy of your birth certificate if you are an African-American who was born in Mississippi in the 1950s, for example.

But how can you be sure he has an Internet connection?

Intolerable Cruelty is amusing, worth a watch, much better than The Ladykillers.

If the deadheads I saw in downtown Chicago tonight were typical, I doubt they will be tripping at all because they'll be with their kids. Or maybe they will be tripping anyway and that's almost certainly a recipe for a bad trip.
