I remember seeing Bauhaus in San Francisco for the Resurrection tour in ‘98, and they closed with a version of Bela Lugosi that was at least 20 minutes long. Probably even longer. They turned the house lights up just a touch so the whole place was like some weird German cabaret or something, and everyone was just…

I was at his performance on Monday night, supposed to see him again both yesterday and this Friday. I’d never listened to the album he was performing that night, so I went in totally open-minded, and he put on a great show. He was funny, energetic, and seemed really genuinely appreciative of the crowd (which was…

A surgeon? That’s the person who... cuts you up. 

What I love about “Man in Motion” is that the guy who wrote and performed it didn’t watch the movie, didn’t give a fuck about the Brat Pack or whoever, and cared far more about the story of a wheelchair-bound Canadian athlete. It would be like Will Smith doing a song for “Men in Black” that’s entirely about Princess…

I’ve seen it and cannot, for the life of me, recall the plot.

Is it wrong that I want the collaboration album to be called “50 Shades of Jack Gray”?

Every person I’ve known who has met Jack Black says he’s the nicest. They say he is super friendly and humble and he loves his fans.

“I’m not black like Barry White. I’m white like Frank Black is.”

Meh. I’m waiting for Kyle Gass to meet Kyle Liquidd.

The first time I watched 2001 at home I spent most of it struggling not to fall asleep, the second time I appreciated it more but still remained at a distance. Then last year I went to see it in IMAX and was already in tears for the second half of the prologue and the entire first Blue Danube sequence, it was one of…

A while back I attended a talk given by Fred Ordway, one of the movie’s technical advisors. He revealed lots of little details, like the square blocks on the back of the space helmets are data modules with mission-specific information. He said their biggest fear was that they weren’t being visionary enough, and that…

My local cinema runs revivals of many classic films so I got to see this on the big screen in 70mm this year. It looked fanstastic.

you’d think the psychic network guy would’ve seen it coming

But it’s nearly the same in value now. Fifty-nine cents in 1991 is about $1.10 in 2019. The basic hard taco you mentioned is $1.29. Pretty close. The value is still there, but with more choices and sauces, too. Yum.

The $6 burger at Carl’s used to be their own joke. Now it’s their starting pricing for that same burger.

Even watching it entirely with the ability to pause for a bathroom break is nice.  

That might end up being the ideal way for my wife and I to watch it.
