His turn in Usual Suspects was pretty damn good too.  Hell, he was great in The Ref too.  Beyond his awful real-life actions, he fell off hard as an actor in the 21st century.

Almost everything here was in constant rotation for me in ‘99.  This makes me realize that A) that was a better year for music than I remembered and B) life was a hell of a lot more enjoyable in 1999.

The Batcave was just a Dunk’s on Boylston St. It’s the only place you can park the Batmobile for more than an hour without getting ticketed.

That’s gonna be the plot of He (Still) Got Game. Ray Allen, I mean Jesus Shuttlesworth, just bitching about Rondo for 87 minutes and then going to Miami to win a coattails title for the final 120 seconds.

Nah, I didn’t shop at Walmart.

So pretty please, with sugar on top.....clean the fucking transporter

The follow-up line is one of my favorites of the series: “I’m going to walk the dog and then, eventually leave you”

His name is Alex....Lord!

It reminded me of that scene in Daredevil: Born Again with narration to the effect of “With a voice that could command a god....and does”.  Cap’s natural leadership is what makes him such an effective hero despite being way underpowered compared to some of the other Avengers.

1994?  Pfft.  If Gary Young isn’t in the band, no thank you!

Reading Les Miserables for the first time. I’m very much enjoying it but, man, Hugo can digress with the best of ‘em.

Starring future Congressional crazy person Bob Dornan!

The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel

I’ve recently been rereading old men X-Men comics and Jesus, I want to set fire to the books anytime Rogue and Gambit have a conversation.  “Sugah?” “Oui, ma belle?” Ugh.

It’s mentioned that because of the creation of Manhattan that science has evolved in very different ways than on our Earth and Adrian is “the smartest man in the world”.  Presumably, if someone could pull off feats of genetic engineering and psychic manipulation, he’d also be smart enough to cover the tracks perfectly.

I came here to say the same thing.  How the hell does 50 Cent get the Iron Man cover?

It seems.....almost unbelievable.

I listened to this record for the first time in a while last week and it’s amazing how fresh and exciting it still sounds after 40 years.  Plus, the bass player ended up in Loverboy.  So, weird stuff abounds with this band.

Having been alive long enough to go from vinyl to cassettes to cds to whatever the hell is the latest thing, I can firmly say that cassettes absolutely sucked then and now. Nothing like dropping what little money I had on a tape that gets chewed by my car stereo the first day.

I want to see Gibby set himself on fire during the end of the night jam on some Chuck Berry song or other.
