You mean like the one guy they missed?

An unironic appreciation of the pre-Fab Four?. What the hell is going on here? I guess the Monkees have been around long enough that they've reached emeritus stage.

For the record, I've liked the Monkees since I was a kid in the 60s. They were Saturday morning staples for at least a decade after the show was…

Don't get me wrong. I paid to see Pacific Rim in IMAX 3D, and I've probably watched it 2-3 more times on HBO. It's one of my favorite goofy movies ever.

But that line, and particularly Hunnam's delivery of it, pushes the whole thing right up to the line of parody (and, honestly, probably past it).

I could watch…

Funny, but when I saw the headline, literally the first homage I thought of was Bart trying to grab those cupcakes. Really odd that it was one of the few that didn't make it.

As long as we get more scintillating dialogue along the lines of, "Let's do this! Together!", I'll be happy as a pig in slop.

I never knew The Guy Who Plays Biff had a name.

Prior to TWD, you would have been hard pressed to find a bigger zombie aficionado than I. I saw Romero's original Dawn and Day of the Dead in the theater and collected and read every zombie apocalypse themed novel I could get my hands on.

During that period of time, zombie stories usually took two basic forms:…

I first noticed the descriptions when I was checking my DVR to make sure the next episode was set to record. Luckily they only go forward one week.

I suppose this would qualify as a SPOILER, but apparently the oddsmakers don't read HBO's official descriptions of upcoming episodes. Again, SPOILER, but Episode 7's description is:

"The High Sparrow eyes another target. Jaime confronts a hero. Arya makes a plan. The North is reminded.”

In other words, don't put your…

This is an easy one for me. I wish Tarantino had gone ahead and used My Sharona in the Gimp scene in Pulp Fiction as originally intended.

I saw an interview with Doug Fieger not long after Pulp Fiction and Reality Bites had come out and he was fiercely proud of the fact that The Knack had exercised their option to see…

This movie is interminable. Half the movie is spent on yet another "get the band together" sequence. Then they spend a bunch of time trying to explain Apocalypse and what he's trying to achieve, but it still makes no sense.

I really liked Days of Future Past, but this was a real letdown. It's still not as bad as Last…

Salvage One: Andy Griffith pilots a makeshift space ship whose mission is to recover space junk.

"And just to put the cherry on top, we'll model him after Fred MacMurray!"

"Perfect! Wait, what?"

Interesting stuff. I have a sneaking suspicion, with the amount of success Disney is having with its live-action reboots, that they may be looking at some way to revive these stories. After all, Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah won an Oscar, and as we've discussed, the characters themselves appear on a theme park ride without much…

That's the one scene I remember vividly. Herb's wife, played by the incomparable Edie McClurg, trying to tip him off under her breath, while he rages about his "church" being closed.

They once did an episode where Herb's family appeared on some reality show where the cameras followed them around for a day. Herb became obsessed with proving his family was "normal," which of course made the whole thing go sideways. To this day, I don't think I've ever laughed harder at an episode of television. …

It's not just one line. It's an entire scene and it's critical to the story. Br'er Fox traps Br'er Rabbit with something whose name rhymes with "car maybe." So you can see why that would be a problem.

Oddly enough, Walt Disney World actually duplicates the scene on the Splash Mountain ride, where Uncle Remus is…

I first saw it when CBS ran it in the glorious summer Friday night late show slot, where they also used to show reruns of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. That was a gold mine in the late 70s.

Because ESPN forces cable companies to put ESPN on the basic tier, it doesn't matter whether the cord cutters are sports fans. I assume most probably aren't. When they cut the cord, ESPN loses the $5 per subscriber or whatever it is, regardless.

It's the scene where Br'er Fox captures Br'er Rabbit. The means by which he does so is the source of a particularly nasty racial epithet. Were it not for that scene, I believe Disney probably would release it as a special edition with an introduction by Leonard Maltin, as they did with Three Little Pigs and the…
