Well, guess it's time to dig out my DVDs…

I definitely remember Peter Pan and the Pirates. Given the way it basically doesn't exist anymore, I always assumed it was just bad and any fondness I had for it was the result of being a child. Good to know that the crew looks on it fondly.

You say that, but Dr. Furter's voice was definitely "husky."

Excerpts from those recordings are floating around somewhere, because I definitely saw a scene from them. It was…weird. Deeper, more traditionally masculine. Tougher sounding. Definitely without that manic energy that Hamill had.

I agreed quite strongly right up until I saw The Lego Movie.

Some friends and I caught all but the first five or ten minutes of this on TV in college. Having no other idea what to call it, we kept referring to it as "Escape from Bear Island."

This is great casting.

Just so you know, "adorkable" was the centerpiece of the launch campaign for the first season of New Girl. Every Metro station and bus stop in DC was plastered with a picture of the cast with the word "Adorkable" floating over them. You could have been forgiven for thinking it was the name of the show.

YES!

Ellie Kemper is really an under-utilized talent. I'm sad that this won't make it to broadcast, but I'm really glad that she's the centerpiece of something that will make it to air for at least two seasons.

Any answer you give may end up being ridiculed, but asking, "Oh? Well, what do you LIKE?" could also be a useful technique for pivoting the conversation toward a more pleasant tone. #awkwardpeopleprotip

Gatcha. Sorry for mis-construing.

@Dack genuine question: What is it about Dave Matthews Band's music that leaves you feeling as though it's only for people without discerning taste? I'm as big a fan of indie music as most folks around here—I'm still confused as to how Bon Iver qualified as a "new artist" when he won the Grammy for "best new artist"…

I was in the same boat: Saw them a few times in high school, then saw the acoustic show in college and called it quits. But I'll be honest, I'm actually really impressed with the stuff they've done since their saxophonist died:

I'm actually kind of encouraged that some teens are able to get into a band populated by guys who are so obviously unhip.

Bigtits McPlotdevice, it wasn't courage I lacked: I had to wait until I had hit the sweet spot of being mature enough to do it without breaking into laughter at some point during the meal while still being immature enough to actually want to do the darn thing.

It was a Red Lobster, actually.

Ever since I was 15 or 16, I wanted to go to a big chain restaurant on my birthday, ask for a table for one, eat my meal quietly, then, at the end of my meal, tell them it's my birthday, ask them to bring out a cake and sing for me, and then start BAWLING when they do. (In my mind I could only do this on my actual…

That was number three: The Crow: Salvation.

I made myself feel left out and the only way I could console myself was by telling myself that one day, instead of wearing stupid shell necklaces and being all stupid listening to Dave Matthews Band in my cargo shorts, I'd be pumping my gas.
