Exactly. Take five years or so off, and then come back when the Rader story would be more appropriate. This is the same thing I’ve been hoping for with Hannibal. Jumping right to Silence of the Lambs would’ve been a mistake. Now that there have been a few years to separate things, this is the time they should revive…

Poor, poor ALF. Finally about to be reunited with his people when he was kidnapped by the military. And we never got to know if he made it back (except in pog form).

Glad to finally get a full album from Sasha Sloan today after the fantastic EPs she’s put out over the last couple of years.

I love both Allison Janney and CJ Cregg, and I know the following statement will get me branded as a West Wing heretic, but I really don’t understand the love everyone has for the “Jackal” scene. It just feels so awkward and pointless. I’ve seen so many people over the years point to that scene but it might be one of…

“Oh, they’re fantastic together, and would have made for a great 90s Shane Black buddy duo.”

The Night Manager fits much better.

People like to complain that SK doesn’t write good endings, but there are enough examples to prove that wrong, and those obviously are the best ones to start with. I’d recommend The Dead Zone, Cujo, Misery, The Shining, Pet Semetary, 11/22/63, and the Different Seasons novellas. (Of course, most of these have been…

So is HBO gonna drag this out for six episodes like they’ve been doing with all their documentaries lately? Just because it worked for The Jinx doesn’t mean every story needs that much time. McMillions and I’ll Be Gone in the Dark would both have worked much better as two-hour movies.

Nanobots. Or a wizard did it. Or a wizard with nanobots in his mouth and when he casts spells he shoots nanobots at you. Or it was just a robotic Richard Simmons.

So New York City is like another character?

I was at New York’s Boys State in the summer of ‘94 and absolutely hated it. As you said, most of it was military drills, which I had no interest in, so I volunteered to be an MP when I found out they were exempt from the drills and got other special privileges. So I guess in a way it taught me exactly how government…

I always assumed it was named after Nancy Kwan’s Pearl Cream:

A friend of mine has been using his social distancing time to do a similar project, converting and uploading late 90s shows from the hardcore scene on Long Island, with some NYC and NJ bands as well, including Glassjaw, Dillinger Escape Plan, Sick of it All, E.Town Concrete, and a lot more. You can find them all here:

I think of this EVERY time someone sings the song:

As opposed to the “snarky derisive comment about an article that presents an opinion you disagree with”, which never seems to go out of fashion around here.

See also The Hudsucker Proxy and A Life Less Ordinary - two movies I love, but as you said, really won’t make sense to most contemporary audiences. Thankfully these guys still make movies for us enthusiasts, but it’s no shock when they fail at the box office. 

A top 5, if not the best, episode of the show. I’ve always loved this version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which I know was modeled on the Israel Kamakawiwoʻole styling, but his scrambling of the lyrics disagrees with my OCD tendencies. I wish there was a recording of the Scrubs version that didn’t include the…

Especially since he also killed Bigfoot
