Upvoted for presumed Greg Giraldo reference.

One of my favourite scenes in Boyz n the Hood is the one where Tre's mother reminds Furious not to feel special just because he's doing what every father should be doing. While it could be read as needlessly chastising someone for putting in a decent effort, it also highlighted the fact that the bar had been set very…

When I started at KFC there was a temporary manager who was pretty decent. He didn't make a big deal if things went wrong, choosing instead to crack a joke and help you solve it. He'd bet you a free combo that you couldn't get the cleaning done in ninety minutes. Not bad for a first job.

My first job was six months at KFC, before I moved on to a year of Subway (I made supervisor) and several years at a video store. Like a lot of other people, I'm always especially considerate to customer service people.

I was expecting him to say he grew up in Wollongong or something.

"Sugar Sugar" and Homer's delirious food hallucination.

Me too, although I feel I should point out that I was already a huge Zevon fan that gets noticably excited whenever one of his songs pops up.

Great call! "Ghost Town" was used really real in Shaun, but it can't surpass Father Ted in my mind either. Snatch used it quite well too.

There's a small potatoes Australian film called He Died with a Felafel in His Hand (starring a pre-fame Noah Taylor) that makes great use of "The Passenger." I still can't hear it without picturing his character standing in the rain at his ex's wedding like the world's biggest sadsack.

"Moving in Stereo" and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

"Don't Stop" and Bart running over cars in his stolen tank.
"Frankenstein" and Homer's flashback to high school.

That's how I first heard that song. I am physically incapable of turning it off until I get to the end.

Then there's Shaun and Ed's rendition of "White Lines," with zombie on back-up.

I've tried and failed to explain how great Statham is in this movie and I've never been able to capture his brilliance, but from now on I'm just going to carry around a laminated print-out of this because it's the perfect summation.

WHATEVER MOTHERFUCKER!

Am I the only one wondering how the hell the in-show producers are creating a show around the mess they're shooting? Among the many flaws of this season, what stands out for me is that I can't fathom how they edit around all of this nonsense to create a show that is compelling and coherent for the viewers of the…

I'm considering it. The first season hooked me in with its send-up of the manipulations that go into making reality TV, its compelling characters, and its unpredictability, but now there's hardly any of the "producing" that I loved so much, none of the contestants (except for Ruby) are discernible from each other, and…

My next re-watch of Banshee will likely end after Season 3. Season 4 wasn't terrible, but it felt like it belonged to a lesser show.

Please tell me you walked past the Ian Curtis tribute wall on Wallace Street: http://www.stuff.co.nz/domi…

It has two of my favourite songs with "fuck" in the title
