I was in college in the early 90s when these guys were still playing fraternity houses and bars. They were incredibly fun, but I agree that the samey-sounding SoCal reggae hasn’t aged terribly well. And I never liked Amber. But they’re damn well onto something about the overwhelming negativity within music in the 90s

as a San Diego native, I despise white boy reggae, it seems it’s all we’re known for musically.  That and being a place where more successful artists live for a year or two before experiencing success elsewhere.  Oh well, at least we still have the Swami.

I used to love them when I was younger, I’m 43 now, but they are a horrible band. I’m just not a fan of that white boy or South California “reggae” anymore. The same goes for Sublime. A lot of it might have to do with the fact that growing up in North Florida that’s all you would hear at parties. Unless there was hallu

Tammy 1 was an actual child-grooming pervert. Hilarious stuff!

No they weren’t. There will always be an audience for theater viewing; no matter how big HD screens get, the experience is impossible to replicate at home (unless you’re rich and can build one of those private screening rooms).

They said TV was going to kill it; they said the VCR was going to kill it...it’s survived

Extreme digital cinema is awesome. You’ll never get just how extreme it is until you go there for yourself. Before you even get into the building, you’ll be pulling up into the:

Except it wasn’t a mess from start to finish. It has issues, but it’s a good film overall.

You may change your mind on that. Hulu has(or had) SNL season one as it originally aired. It is not what you’d expect. I saw the first episode and the “not ready for primetime” cast only did a couple of skits in the first episode. George Carlin was the host and he did his stand up for a monologue which continued

I feel like if a known comedian uses the phrase,”and not because i’ve done any research on this” it’s safe to say they’re joking.  People can mourn and joke at the same time.

This is such an obvious joke that it *almost* doesn’t surprise me that the media picked it up and has written about it as though it were real.

He said that after she died, when he was upset.

Stopping the online morons cackling along to Weekend Update needs to take priority over a Covid-19 vaccine.

Exactly! It’s not Rian Johnson’s fault that JJ Abrams thinks you can just dump ideas for a mystery without any plan to solve them until the last minute if at all. It’s like people who go out of their way to blame The Last Jedi for Rise of Skywalkers’ failings forget how Abrams’ Mystery Box works.

He was always a one-note character, but when it was a 10 year old acting ridiculously metrosexual* it was funny, as a 20 year old he’s just insufferable.

I’ll put in a vote for Cheers as an outlier with 11 seasons. Even if you view the Diane years as stronger than the Rebecca years, it’s hard to deny how strong the show was (with no outright “dud” seasons) until the - perfect - end.

Same people who the characters from Parks and Rec were talking to.

Oh, it’s longevity forms my opinion for me?

I know that, but for me the whole mockumentary thing doesn’t work when people stop to give a confessional to no one.

It’s easy to forget how incredibly good those first few seasons were. Almost every episode was just really elegantly constructed, with a bunch of little jokes and a few running gags that piled up on top of each other and culminated in a BIG payoff by the end of the episode.
You could almost feel the writers running

I tried to like this show, but I couldn’t get past the whole convenient documentary-style they’d adopt...it just stank of lazy writing and....
