Damn, all I ever feel when I start thinking about real "conspiracies" is how small it makes me. Small and useless.

To be fair, 9/11 was the U.S. government's fault. That isn't the same thing as saying they are behind it, tho. If I give a lunatic a bunch of money and a bunch of weapons, I'm at fault when he goes on a homicidal rampage.

I would argue that the influx of Japanese anime shows was what really kick-started the trend towards more sophisticated fare. Voltron, Thundercats and especially Robotech were all much better than most other "cartoons to sell toys." (Yes, I know, Thundercats was more of a joint venture between U.S. writers and voice…

Yeah I'm not really a purist tho I can understand the points being made about even the slightest of changes (for instance, recompositing - taking the various layers used to make up an FX-heavy scene and digitally reinserting them so as to clean up the picture quality - can drastically alter the look of the effects…

They are not truly unaltered, since they are merely transfers from the laserdisc release. Not only were there still changes made from the original theatrical release, but the picture quality is absolutely horrible, colors are way off in some scenes… it's nothing like the original theatrical release OR like the VHS…

I think you missed the part about a best-selling singer performing a sold-out show, and the part about how much the WBC loves publicity.

Not that this makes it a huge hit, but I hear "Come Into My World" playing in the grocery store practically every time I go shopping. And yes, it's weird to shop for groceries with an erection.

A lot of early Peter Straub is terrific if you're looking for psychological ghost stories. (As in, some times the protagonist is just crazy, other times the ghost is driving the protagonist crazy so they kill people - similar to Stephen King's short story "Nona" from Skeleton Crew.)

I've often wondered how Sinead O'Connor felt about the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal. The country collectively lost their minds over her tearing up a picture of the pope, a gesture she made sure to tell anyone who would listen had to do with the Church turning a blind eye to molestation charges. How does it feel…

Let me be perfectly blunt: the writing of this article is of the same caliber as the writing of this song, in that both should have been flushed down the nearest toilet as soon as they were read by anyone. I know, harsh, but what WAS the point of this article? To highlight a "controversy" everyone's already forgotten?…

"I'm better than dirt! … Well, most kinds of dirt. Not that fancy, store bought dirt. That stuff's loaded with nutrients! I… I can't compete with that."

My problem with life is I'm not drunk, so all whiskey is, to me, problem-solving whiskey.

Don't they have a shirt with the logo shaped like a penis?

The one where Gilligan thinks he ate poisonous mushrooms? … Given that is literally the only episode whose plot I even remember, and I used to watch it back in the day…

They're not really unironic, but Electric Six are a pretty fuckin' awesome rock band.

What about their version of Noel, called "Leon"? LOL. They've been doing this for a long time.

I hate fun..

I think Sugar Ray really started that whole thing. Their second big album was called 14:59, and their latest (I think it's their latest anyway) was called Music For Cougars.

Dunno the full story but they were friends for awhile. She defended him to… the director that did Kurt & Courtney, making fun of him for calling him "Ed Norton" (the neighbor on The Honeymooners") rather than Edward Norton.
