Mission accomplished! Let freedom reign! Now watch this drive.

It was during a family vacation at the beach…PBS ran some kind of Monty Python retrospective. I insisted we watch, and everyone - parents, aunts, kids, etc - settled in. I think it was about 15 minutes into it that they played an extended clip from "Meaning of Life" - the Sex Education sketch. "Have we done vaginal…

The final couple minutes are just devastating. The film ended and the small theater I saw it in was utterly silent, nobody moved until the credits ended. It's a great film despite the unanswered questions it leaves, in fact you could easily argue that that is the point. A solid A.

Here's hoping he makes a cameo with an Australian accent. I love that shit.

Setting aside the general boringness of Friends - which was basically Seinfeld For Dull People - there's just too much mugging going on by the actors for me to watch with the sound up.

Black people got a lot of problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick

Still going, by the way. Different lineup except for Terry Adams. But the band of the 80s and 90s was remarkable and I'm sorry for anybody who missed it.

Delightful! You found room for Billy and the Boingers, but not NRBQ, one of the great American bands of the 20th century, a point that bears repeating: one of the Great American Bands of the 20th Century.

Jeff Bridges is due for some teevee stuff.

I don't believe it re-appears in Snowpiercer, but it would be tough to pick out amongst the axe-murdering, stabbing, impaling, etc. Seriously…half the film is hand-to-hand combat.

That was the greatest snowmobile chase ever committed to film.

"The Living Years" is kinda of meta - it's about a shitty dad, AND it's a shitty song!

Charva's dad must have been pretty bad, he got beat up and his arm broken by our protagonist.

Springsteen opened a recent show in Hershey PA (10 mins from Harrisburg) with that. I'm so glad i didn't hear it.

Downtown at the bank

Look! It's Lau-ren Ba-call!

Is that you, Lester?

The live album is a thing of insane beauty. The guitar soloing on Celebration Day, in particular, speaks a completely new guitar language, untethered to anything that came before it. I would place it at the top of the list just for its spectacular, uncompromising, ridiculous hugeness.

Jeff Bridges' character in "The Door in the Floor" addressed this subject very nicely.

C'mon, sheeple!
