Great list, but missing The Mr. T Experience's "Now We Are Twenty-One."

A High Life on a day where the temperature's above 90 is a gift from God.

Why is it so much fun to watch Kido squirm when he's asked to do something less than upright? He's like a librarian with a badge.

The studio filmed Toy Soldiers in my hometown, so roughly ten guys from my high-school class showed up in it at one point or another. Definitely one of the more preposterous amateurs-band-together-to-beat-terrorists films.

Jinx!

"Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2: a Lars von Trier film."

Just take my money now, Marvel.

Loving is pretty much the quietest movie I've ever seen. The dialogue is spare and the sound is mixed really low. It's an interesting choice on the filmmaker's part, because it does make you sit up, lean in, and pay close attention.

Becca rejecting Jimmy's proposal turned him into the Jimmy we know. Not surprising, seeing what the sisters do to pretty much any guy in their wake.

There's nothing quite like the childlike look of joy (that quickly turns evil) when Paul finally gets to follow through on letting all that repressed anger at Lindsay out. For a brief moment, he's like a kid at Christmas. Even that's fleeting, of course, because it's You're The Worst: Becca and Vernon show up and cut

Yeah, the awkward pause where Gretchen was genuinely stunned by that was amazing and painful and heartbreaking. As was her response, eager as she was to hurt him right back.

No Blue Chips? Dammit, Will!

Vernon's opening monologue is absolutely brilliant until you realize that he's just salty over Becca keeping him on a much shorter leash, because money slave. Of all the characters outside the Core Four, he and Sam are the best.

Ford's a puppet master in every aspect of his life. And yeah, that scene with Theresa put a chill down my spine, too.

The writers spent the first three episodes letting us think we know who we're dealing with here. Then they spent this one subverting those characters a bit.

I am suprisingly thrilled about next week's Vernon-and-Paul-centered episode.

Maybe he was following the "don't get high on your own supply" rule. Or maybe he didn't appreciate it as much because he didn't have PTSD.

Jesus, Gretchen. Dressing like that would lift any man's spirits. Wow.

You mentioned in one of your reviews, Dennis, that Donna falls in love with the trappings of Diane's life without realizing what that life cost Diane. And yeah, what we see of her in this episode is indicative of that.

Went to see them in '96 when they were touring for this album. Rufus Thomas opened for them (speaking of JSBX's reverence), and then they proceeded to play for two and a half hours without taking a break between songs.
