No, he's Royson.

While I'm at it, I'll also share the memory of listening to the radio in Norway, with the DJ referring to the J. Geils Band as "J.J. Geels Band".

In 1990, my college roommate had a shortwave radio, and he tuned in to some Australian radio station. The DJ had just finished played MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" and announced, "Yes, that was MC Hammer and not, as I previously stated, McHammer."

I've met Adam a bunch of times (mutual friends) and I agree, he's totally nice. And a very dedicated and talented musician. His movie Drones is cute, too, if insubstantial. In fact, only just now, by reading this article, did I learn that he played a villain on Buffy. I knew he acted, but obviously I never watched Buff…

You're sure spending a lot of time writing about something you refuse to read.

Nixon tweet from 1972:

"If you're not here on Saturday, O'Neal, don't bother showing up on Sunday!"

I'm loving this sentiment. But where were all you guys last November, when my stupid friends were whining, "Trump makes me miss Bush" and dismissed my reminders of how detestable and calamitous the Bush administration was? Man, fuck Bush!

Ahem, Æthelred the Unready.

Yeah, this is the only plausible justification I can think of for why essentially swapping the position of two words makes all the difference between one of the best things you can say and one of the worst things you can say.

Edward James Olmos playing the captain of a starship? What a stupid idea.

Reznor was obviously reacting to the George W. Bush era, and of course these things were equally bad during Reagan. But most of us have graywashed the genuine devastation caused by those administrations, in service to the current narrative that Trump is the first scary, reactionary, bullheaded and ignorant president…

My European dad used to say this a lot.

I grew up in an area with a large Asian/Asian-American population, probably the largest in the US, and up through the 1980s, "Oriental" was a completely acceptable term. It wasn't until around 1990-91 when a friend told me I shouldn't say it anymore. I asked him why, and he said, "Because the term exoticizes us." That…

Okay, now I want to know too.

Whoa there, city slicker, with your fancy "Chinamen" talk. The proper term is Chinee.

He stole the role of Jean-Luc Picard from the hard-working American actor Yaphet Kotto!

I submit Power Rangers for consideration.

I found Rocket Science hard to sit through, because of the main character's stutter. Something like that looks good on paper, but having to s-s-s-s-it through s-s-s-so m-m-m-many s-s-s-scenes of it was as p-p-p-punishing as r-r-r-r-reading th-th-th-th-this p-p-p-paragraph.

I did not work on set.
