"Saturday Night" is the perfect soundtrack for a fight during a Saturday hockey game. Also, for the opening credits/road trip montage that begins 1985's underrated comedy "Fandango."

*spins*

Rip Torn and Albert Brooks are both at their best in this. And the concept is thought-provoking, too, though we'd be terrified to find an afterlife challenge along these lines.

Even the resurrected Ichabod Crane wonders when irony became a national pastime.

Gardner Barnes in "Fandango" FTW…

Awful. Especially considering that R.E.M., Gladys Knight, James Brown, the Allman Brothers, Otis Redding, and Johnny Mercer are all from Georgia. *sigh*

Alan Jackson? Fuck. Forever on the shit list for the rhyming pair "Chattahoochee" and "hoochie coochie."

On this weekend's to-do list: Rummage through boxes of old kitchen stuff in the basement to find my Big Hug Mug! Must drink coffee like the Michael Jordan of being a Son of a Bitch.
