More like James Broilin’! Amirite? Amirite? Eh?

If Bob Seger wrote the sound track to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, this would be the title of the song playing over the end credits. 

I thought it was just about a really awkward dinner party!

‘s rhyming cockney slang, innit?

Wait, do people really just call it “Toronto”? As someone who lives here and is bombarded with the TIFF branding every year, this seems bizarre to me.

And if you take out all the words with an ‘e’, it becomes “A turn from Bill It Two sinks of floating”.

Oh

Southland Tales was definitely offputting, but absolutely worth a watch.

Wait...that Fred Durst?!

I mean, the reason the MTV award don’t mean shit anymore is because MTV DOESN’T PLAY VIDEOS ANYMORE, so unless you’re a youth who gives a shit enough to go find videos on youtube, no one ever sees the fucking videos.

Going off the popular art cue, the advertising posters of Alphonse Mucha:

Oh my gosh, so many great answers, but I am surprised not to see any Oscar Wilde on this list or in the comment section. I will forever love The Picture of Dorian Gray, and it has top spot for sheer entertainment value, but really any of his writing, from the super comedic The Importance of Being Earnest, to the

Came here for this and ... (Oh baby)... The illustrations of Gustav Dore. Pantagruel, Don Quixote, Paradise Lost ... Dante ... Below is Jacob Wrestling with an Angel, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and Dante's Divine Comedy.

Caspar David Friedrich’s “The Sea of Ice” (1824). I love both the Romantic and Symbolist movements and Friedrich’s world occupies a haunting twilight zone between them. We tend to forget that salons and galleries were the movie theaters of their day as much as live theater was and crowds viewing this piece for the

If we’re talking about something actually classified as popular culture, as opposed to “high” art, that would have to be the sci fi illustrations of Albert Robida.

Rabelais classic book Gargantua and Pantagruel. Very funny, very vulgar, and for the time- very transgressive.

For me it’s got to be The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne. Long, rambling, metafictional - hell it’s volume 3 before he’s even born. But in there he gets circumcised by a falling window and Sterne includes quite a few bawdy jokes for an 18th-century clergyman. I’d even recommend the

I wasn’t sure if art counted or not, but I was a fan of the Baroque period, when Caravaggio was king.

There’s a whole sub-genre of movies defined by having characters who have all the conventional hallmarks of success and good fortune, but are still unhappy and don’t really know why.

Oligopolies gonna Oligopoly.
