God decided the lack of totally awesome filmmakers named Steve McQueen couldn't stand, so He made another one.

Definitely not for American football. 99% of games feature the players meandering around the field for 10 minutes after a 0.5 second play. You could fit a few songs into that time, easy.

He's a federal prosecutor?

Imagine what stay at home moms wanted to hear on VH1 at 10:30 am on a Wednesday.

Don't you dare besmirch the good name of C+C. Music Factory.

Thanks for taking the time to show J.T. Walsh some love. He was everywhere in the '90s. It seemed like he got a bit part in all the movies I saw. And then he was just gone.

@avclub-0ae7484a9f3bbd2a21df420050c032ae:disqus Around the early aughts, CGI began slowly creeping into shows where you wouldn't expect it. Ugly Betty is one of my favorites, in that regard.

I'm sure The Hollywood Shuffle endeared him to all the big studios and producers.

@The_Guilty_Party:disqus Clearly, Peter Gabriel exists in his own timeline.

It was supposed to be called I/O and come out forever ago. Then came the Scratch My Back album of covers, followed by the New Blood orchestral re-recordings of his old songs.

Quick! Everybody tweet compliments to Peter Gabriel!*

Oh, right. We're supposed to Lena Dunham her now.

Until I read this article, I had no idea the show did a mining themed dance sequence to a Sparks track.

@avclub-4a51fda79bbd54b4e7327dd6559b6c4d:disqus I'll take a vodka, straight up.

Thanks! I haven't found it yet, but I'll keep looking!

Yeah, I think Sam did a great job with this one because it really gives you a good idea of the trajectory of Stamp's career.

Who would have thought that Spike Lee and Oliver Stone would end up making two of the first movies to address 9/11 - and that they would be almost universally praised?

As I understand it, the Spidey WTC teaser trailer was shot as a standalone piece. It was never going to be in the final film.

Copy and paste won't be implemented until the 26th hour.

Terence Stamp's NSFW recollection of the time he dared to ask Fellini for some direction remains one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.
