They came THIS close to using Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” for a hemorrhoid cream campaign until Cash’s family found out and absolutely forbade it.

I deliberately refused to watch that Amazon Jack Ryan show specifically because they used this goddamn song in the trailer.
It pisses me off no end that the slow, turgid, whiny Gary Jules version is now the one everyone seems to associate with the original, and superior, Tears for Fears song.
It is the soundtrack to countless babies putting on sunglasses in movie trailers.
Don’t be beefing on my new protégé, MC Waify Waif.
I think Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago” appeared in 4 or 5 trailers in the same damn year.
Can’t take my eyes off of you -Frankie Valli and the four seasons- great great song - used beautifully in the Deer Hunter
Boy I can remember when this film took off in college. It was the year Chris Moneymaker came from nowhere to win the WSOP main event, being the first to qualify out of an online game for the series. His win was a mind blower, and after that the WSOP was something we’d gather to watch while playing cards, and pretty… Read more
While I love Rounders it was super annoying when people would show up at my home games and splash the pot. Read more

I drove past Candlestick Park in SF while they were giving one of their farewell concerts there, almost 20 years ago. The stadium is history, Kiss are still doing “farewell” tours.
Hell, look up any transcript of any interview he’s ever given. You don’t have to be picky!
Meh. The big problem that the Star Wars films have is that they’re focusing too much on such a short period of time. It shows a lack of faith in their ability to create new stories in a galactic setting buzzing with space magic and spaceships, which is...well, frankly, a bummer. You have Filoni and his crew doing that… Read more
Most of these pics aren’t loading for me.
But I do like that Tailhook Bart is green for some reason.
