"…the carefully selected mundanities of Boyhood…"

The list of films from 2014 I will revisit years from now:

The contents of her card catalog belongs in the Smithsonian.

This album was originally part one of a two album set. The second part was called 'A Tombstone Every Mile' and most of it ended up as bonus tracks on the expanded edition of 'One Foot In The Grave'. I was lucky enough to acquire (through a friend Chris Ballew, actually) a cassette of the original version back in the

R.I.P. Daniel Hillard. Sy Parrish. Popeye. Walter Finch. Rainbow Randolph. Adrian Cronauer. John Keating. Parry. Dr. Malcolm Sayer. Armand Goldman. Sean Maguire. T.S. Garp. The Genie. Mork.

My fuckin' word is MY MOTHERFUCKIN' BOND!

Or maybe John Jay Smith.

Futurama - "Meanwhile". An excellent series finale. The most touching moment of the year was the montage of Fry and Leela getting a well-deserved happy ending set to Jo Stafford's "No Other Love". Not ashamed to admit I teared up a little.

That joke worked so much better as a non-sequitor.

UH-DOE-BEE.

New Test Leper.

Okay, two silly novelty songs.

R.E.M. was the best band of the 80's. Sorry, haters. I'll forgive them one silly novelty song.

I had "The Empire Strikes Back" spoiled for me by my Uncle Rick, who was exiting the theater as my father and I waited in line outside. It was exactly like the Simpsons episode. My Uncle Rick later drank himself to death, so I guess he got what he deserved.

Kanye West is mediocre at best and "Yeezus" is his worst album. People
are going to feel stupid for singing it's praises in the future. You
wanted to like this album before you heard it so you said you did when
deep down you really know it's shit.

"Every Breath You Take" by the Police.

The greatest television finale of all time is "Flip", the final episode of "The Larry Sanders Show". The whole thing is touching and fantastic, but all it really needs is that Tom Petty joke.

Oh, look, there's a rape machine!
