The Pretenders should get more attention, both in this article and in the writer's personal life.

Oy!

I liked Margot Robbie's pants but usually a good movie has other things to recommend it.

That was my one of my favorite shows in the 90s, but I got tired of it. I grew more liberal and suddenly I realized that the show skewed conservative. McLaughlin may have been a conservative but he fostered better discussions than most modern conservatives do, allowing the show's liberals to make their points. RIP.

Flirting with Disaster is incredibly underrated. I agree also on Fargo and the Arthur cartoon, and I still love Cake's Fashion Nugget album from that year. Otherwise I'm pretty clueless on pop culture of that era as I was a new dad and didn't have time or money to do much.

I'm watching tons of it. The cheesy tear jerk features on the athletes have been around since the 70s, so it's odd to complain about it now, and you can always ignore them, too. And it's on like 4 channels so you can kind of pick among different options. I watched Brazil's soccer team last night on NBC's sports…

I don't want to see the director's cut or Jared Leto's cut or anything else. That mess I saw in the theater was enough.

"Melt With You" from Valley Girl
"Baby Blue" from Breaking Bad
"Monkey Man", "Then He Kissed Me", "Mannish Boy" and "Jump Into The Fire", all from Goodfellas

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 reunion show by the Rifftrax crew was also very nice.

"O.J.: Made in America" on ESPN.

My roommate in 1985 had a cassette of Mirage, and I'd steal it for weeks at a time. Hold Me is one of the great pop songs of that era.

I love politics but can't watch the conventions. I dislike my own party's convention about as much as I hate the opposition's convention. It's a pep rally, and you never learn anything at a pep rally; you're simply there to watch the popular people getting applauded for doing predictable stuff and mouthing applause…

It might be a combination of Cho playing the victim card and Rucka being a bit of a control freak, as writers (especially writers coming back to a book that they got acclaim for in the past) sometimes are. The comic companies set teams up for conflict when they bring in a cover artist who doesn't reflect the style of…

I always loved the decision to do that. It fit the show's sensibility perfectly.

I'm depressed at how few of those movies I've seen (maybe 15 of them). It's a bit of a challenge to watch raunchy comedies while little kids are running around, so our default has been "we'll watch it later", and then forgetting to watch it.

These people are writing for magazines that celebrate the superficial, so it seems the pieces in question simply echo the publications' mission statements. Vanity Fair is not Mother Jones. I suppose if VF stopped worshipping/ogling actresses under the age of 35 there would be no magazine left.

I loved the reunion show. Nice to see all of them on stage. But I really hope Jonah Ray gets funnier when MST3K relaunches.

I saw it in college and loved it. It then went to VHS when that was a new format. It retailed for $89.99 and I was very close to buying it even at that price.

Re-runs of "American Greed" are always welcome in the hotel.

I remember the Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" album from my college years. It started off with three superb songs and then became some kind of jazzy exploration nonsense for the remainder.
