I do enjoy it when this site informs me of years-old major cultural phenomena I’ve never heard of. I mean, I knew Portishead had a few albums, but I never processed this one as a big thing. I also don’t totally know whether to trust it. Wasn’t there once an article identifying Veruca Salt as a significant cultural…

Martin Mull quote, far as anyone knows. Robert Christgau’s acerbic response: “One of the many foolish things about the fools who compare writing about music to dancing about architecture is that dancing usually is about architecture. When bodies move in relation to a designed space, be it stage or ballroom or living…

Thanks Adam, but all I really want is another U Talkin’ season.  Tom Petty?  Costello?  Costello would be a real commitment.  Whatever, just something. 

Aaron Eckhart works as Ford.  It made me oddly happy to find out that the guy who played Joe, Meg Ryan’s not-the-one boyfriend in When Harry Met Sally, is Ford’s son.  

“Did you ever find Gadget on Chip n’ Dale Rescue Rangers attractive?”

Abbruzzese.  But yeah, that guy was the shit.  

There is a disturbing Weekend At Bernie’s vibe.  

Interesting, I wasn’t aware of this backlash against Pearl Jam. I’ve been distracted by the news of President Yeltsin’s military incursions into Chechnya. Also, OJ Simpson appears to be in some sort of car chase...

I will vigorously defend The Last Jedi until the day I die.  But your general sentiment is correct. 

I mean, I don’t claim to have a dog in this fight.  

Do I remember right that the nudity/sex at the end was all CGI?  

So...maybe fuck the Razzies?  I like a hate watch as much as anyone, but a whole, fairly elaborate thing based on being snarky about other people’s work?  Just seems kinda mean and self-serving.  The Bruce Willis category is admittedly well-deserved. 

Er derdn’t ger erp werth Gersberms, ser thers ersn’t thert merningferl to mer.  

Well, it WAS! 

I feel like the 90s was good enough at reducing itself to a cartoonish stereotype while it was actually going on without...this.  

You didn’t see The Master 2: The Secret of Lancaster’s Gold?  

Wait, early 70s?  Sinatra was in his mid-50s.  He was just kind of an ageless mo’fucker for a long time.  

Someone who would do that would do it one way or another anyway. May as well be warm.

I looked this up and he has been anchoring since 1976 and seems to be phasing into full retirement by the end of this year. He is 73.  I am from the other side of the country and have no dog in this fight, but there you are.

Oh my fuck, they had me at the Hulk playing Luca Brasi.
