Yep, that's Jack Hook.

I'm just going to quote the New York Review of Books' take on another author's 9/11 novel, as it pretty much covers every attempt to write a fictional account anchored to that horrible day:

But think of how many you'd have to beat up to feel great for two and a half hours.

It's something of a truism that a U2 concert is still an amazing show, even if you hate U2.

The self-funded ZooTV tour made a ton of money, but the band's profit margin was around 110% or less. Given how little a band makes on album sales, they kinda stepped-back after Achtung Baby, ZooTV and Zooropa and asked themselves if it was really worth working nearly 4 years to make a single digit profit margin.

No, it's actually one of the best Christmas songs. The guitar riff reels me in every time. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than a silly, fun track where Elton and his band goof-off and enjoy themselves.

…and referred to him as "LaVerne". (I'm not joking)

The best part about the end to "Call to Arms" was that the moment was largely a product of the VFX people going far, far beyond what the producers were after. That memorable scene was viewed by the show-runners as a mistake.

Congratulations. You've succeeded at 1995.

Far from being a memory hole, this is THE episode of Pete and Pete I remember the most. So full of atmosphere and existential drama. It blew my mind as a kid and I still think of it on every suffocatingly-hot day.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is the cinematic equivalent of a deep-fried candy bar.

People freaked the hell out when they heard the toilet flush on 'All in the Family'. The whole subject was scandalous as late as the 1970s.

You think that's bad? I misread that as Leonard Cohen.
