I was hoping for Norm, but you know who is haunting me instead?  You guessed it -- Frank Stallone.

Che drinking with his feet up right before they closed for Covid was his best segment ever. “My grandmother always said, ‘We are living in our last days. And don’t bring home no white women!’ No white women? Come on, I work in television.”

“Her boss charges her with delivering a rare yellow parrot in a cage—an obvious symbol, although that’s not clear just yet”

i remember nothing except diane lane and that song at the end.

I remember nothing about this movie except the title and I Can Dream About You, and now totally want to revisit it knowing Lane stars as a sexy rock singer.  Rowr.

Slider would like a word.

Agreed on the love. I saw this as a kid and the sledgehammer fight at the end was pretty much the coolest thing I’d ever seen, which is saying something when your bar for excitement is lightsaber duels and melting Nazis. “[A]n extravagantly stylized pulp burlesque that is at once an objectively lousy picture and just…

When people say “You wouldn’t be able to make this today” they’re usually wrong and taking silly shots at their view of woke culture.

Both “Nowhere Fast” and “Tonight is What It Means to be Young” are on my faves playlist. Haven’t seen the movie in a looong time tho.

So I didn’t watch Streets of Fire until my local friend group decided to do Discord Movie Nights in the early pandemic. Nowhere Fast is one of those songs that just stuck around in my head forever afterwards and Jim Steinman’s passing afterward resonated for me because, while I love Meatloaf’s stuff, this is the song…

Michael Paré is also the titular Eddie in Eddie and the Cruisers. So, in the 1980's, if you wanted to make an old-time Rock ‘n Roll themed movie that was going to be largely ignored by audiences in theaters but later gain a respectable cult following on cable TV and home video, Paré was your guy.

Bill Paxton also got an early role in this as a comic-relief bartender. I unironically love this movie. Much like Hill’s earlier film The Warriors, it’s set in a world that looks superficially like the real world, but clearly had a different history than our own, and has a culture that is a mixture of elements from…

Pretty sure dudes have been fighting over Diane Lane since The Fabulous Stains.

basically spend the whole time fighting over Lane.

Tonight is What it Means to be Young is actually so awesome that it literally saved the entire movie. The studio execs were very underwhelmed with the footage they were seeing and were on the verge of scrapping the whole thing, but then Steinman delivered that song and they loved it so much that they let the movie be…

This is a much better trailer than the teaser they released earlier.  Catherine O’Hara giving a lecherous Keaton an “ewww!” at the end of the clip made me laugh out loud.  In.

At least we still have someone very special. That’s right. You guessed it...

At least someone’s still keeping the tradition alive. Not many of us left now.

Honestly I don’t think either thing is an issue. Kristen has been very solid as host and I think it’s great that she brings her own experiences to the show. And Wisconsin is no worse than some of the other cities the show has been in. The issue is that the chefs just plain aren’t up to snuff compared to past seasons.
