He also played a significant role in development of the music video as it was known in the 1980s and 1990s.

This reminded me of our local KFC, which had a buffet in the Before Times. Which reminds me ... every other fast food outlet with a drivethrough in our small time allows you to pick up online orders (from a phone app or website) at the drivethrough, but KFC, even though it has an active drivethrough, forces you to…

As many specialty condiments as there are sold online these days,  this seems like an opening for someone -- if they could figure out a way to do it without violating any of Heinz’ patents.

Almost 40 years ago, my favorite band, Daniel Amos, complained about the absence of the jetpacks we’d been promised:

DAY-ree KWEEN.

The combination of Elizabeth Lane (Barbara Stanwyck) and Felix (S.Z. Sakall) from “Christmas In Connecticut.” If you’ve never seen it, she is a Martha Stewart-like columnist whose columns always include mouth-watering recipes. She’s a brilliant writer, capable of making the recipes *sound* delicious, just as she’s…

Always be yourself, unless you can be Jason Batman. In that case, be Batman.

The new owners say they will maintain Firehouse’s non-profit foundation, which does a lot of good work. I live in a small, rural town, and we don’t even have a Firehouse Subs, but our county fire department, and the little rural volunteer fire departments that support it, have benefitted from Firehouse grants. I hope…

Way to make a correction without admitting that you screwed up the previous article by not doing even the most basic five-minute fact check.

It seems impossible to capture the true magic of movie theater popcorn with a bag and the microwave’s mysterious “popcorn” button—something snack brands have been trying to perfect for decades—but darn it, AMC is gonna try anyway.

I wonder if “Earl Hofert” (as he was listed in the credits for “Cabin Boy” and “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America”) will make an appearance.....

The obvious inspiration for the “God Squad”: http://www.thepowerteam.com/

There’s a much stranger example of this that has nothing to do with science fiction — “The Manchurian Candidate,” where 36-year-old Angela Lansbury (some sources say 37, but that may be at the time of release rather than production) played the mother of 33-year-old (some sources say 35) Laurence Harvey — and had icky…

Dave Letterman went through a period when, if he would have an actor on whose movie opened “in selected cities,” when billboarding that actor, Dave would get a deadly serious expression, look right into the camera, and intone, “I pray to God that your city has been selected.”

I always thought it was weird that, in the first episode of “From The Earth To The Moon,” Hanks gave Scolari a very small part as Pete Conrad during the Gemini program— but then, just a few episodes later, when they get to Apollo 12, Conrad’s moon shot, he was played by Paul McCrane (with a completely different…

In the NFL sketch, I kept expecting them to announce Dave Chappelle as the new coach.

I really love the Mary Jo-and-Bridget Rifftrax projects. They recently got their own logo, drawn in the style of Betty and Veronica from Archie comics. I could (and have) watched their Tupperware short over and over again.

Good food writing inspires people to be more ambitious in their culinary choices, without shaming them. Bad food writing comes across as boasting about your own refined palate. This is bad food writing.
