*Gordon Lightfoot dances on Stompin' Tom's grave*

I wanted to punch him at least a couple of times during Studio 60. I still haven't forgiven the condescension involved in writing two middle aged midwestern characters who have never heard of Who's On First. Never forgive, never forget!

Me, too.

The art cinema side is wrong. That movie is straight up trash.

This is it exactly. I have a Showgirls VIP edition box set, some MST3K-level horror and sci-fi collections, and a stack of Jesus Franco DVDs sharing shelf space with Tati and Welles and Hitchcock and Kubrick. I want to be entertained, and entertainment comes in many forms. My bookshelf has about the same mix of…

I was in my early twenties, too, and saw it in the theater within a week or two of it coming out. We walked home afterwards and I kept looking over my shoulder. Once we got home I was tired and wanted to go to bed, but my boyfriend wanted to stay up longer and I wouldn't go to bed alone that night. So I stayed up.…

Me, too, and it's weird. It's like there's this ER-shaped hole in my memory. I do remember a handful of individual moments and unique episodes (Dr. Ross saving the kid in the rainstorm, Carter and Lucy getting stabbed, the helicopter of doom, Dr. Greene dying, the Breakfast Club episode), but that's about it.…

The Wicker Man is one of my all time favourite horror movies. It's ridiculous in a lot of ways, but has a genuinely disconcerting ending that hangs with you for a long time.

And for reasons which don't need exploring at this juncture, he has remained, attached as liaison to the Canadian consulate.

Nah, L.M. Montgomery shows weren't my thing. I never watched it.

Ramona. She'll always be Ramona.

I haven't read the comic and I haven't read up on the show much. Tuned in tonight out of curiosity after seeing previews. It had me at "Music by Atticus Ross." I didn't know he was involved.

Nice. And blech.

Save This House is pretty great. They seemed to reach their peak popularity around Faithlift, but Save This House will always be my favourite.

It really is that big here. I was chatting earlier with someone who is unfamiliar with them and he asked about the band replacing Downie when he does reach a point where he can't be part of the band anymore. I said, without any trace of hyperbole, that it would be like U2 replacing Bono. And I meant it.

Yeah, Mann is succumbing to dementia and they're squeezing in the tour (oops, squeezed… looks like it's over already) before he can't perform anymore. It's sad.

I used to know a guy who followed them around from concert to concert like they were The Grateful Dead. I knew him in the late 90's/early 2000's and at that point I think he'd seen them over 40 times live.

Especially with how utterly serious a lot of their songs are. Earlier today I was listening to some of their songs. 38 Years Old and Wheat Kings are heartrending, and they still get radio play to this day.

This news is heartbreaking. So many memories of bar nights and drunken singalongs to Hip songs.

Excellent episode. I was riveted from the start.
