This is also the era when Marvel and DC Comics were able to start doing horror again, as the Comics Code censors were loosening up. It was a fun time to be a kid. Wall to wall monsters.

Fallon going hard after Trump would have been hilarious. Like Ryan Lochte trying to guest host for Rachel Maddow. All this talk of "I can't forgive him" seems overdone. Fallon brought Obama on for giggles and grins, and he did the same with Trump, because Fallon is, in the end, a shallow frat boy who somehow has a…

During the Rob Lowe roast, someone joked about Pete's resemblance to Curious George. I love roasts.

So one day I looked up Mike Myers on Wikipedia, just to see if he's up to anything. And Wikipedia, like they do with all public figures, lists his net worth. And it's impressive. It's basically the same as Bob Dylan's. The voice of a generation who never stops touring and putting out albums, and the guy who did…

Wow, Mike Myers. It isn't a secret that he's a jerk but it's always interesting to read about the unique ways he manifests the jerkiness.

I was hoping for a Ruth Rendell recommendation.

Thanks for the warning. I'm sure our church's youth pastor will glom onto this and take a bunch of kids.

Something about Ron Weasley's struggles with unemployment and how his hot new Camaro was all the magic he ever needed.

It's a long time without a title and they have that cool old stadium but the whole narrative of the lovable, never-say-die Cubs is a bit silly. I think it's part of Chicago's unique ability to mythologize it's own players and teams to an absurd degree, with pop culture gladly going along. Watch a movie and the Wrigley…

There was a whole industry of game shows that provided steady employment for old tipsy celebrities. The dirty jokes always went over my head.

"We were hoping Mr. Dylan would pick up the phone and mutter something unintelligible. Or at least email us with a cryptic, thought-provoking verse that impressed us with its cleverness yet remained maddeningly noncommittal. However, he seems to be hiding out on his tour bus."

Sex Pistols when I'm mad at work.

That Billy Corgan is a piece of work.

Hoping for a decent first movie followed by 3 horrible sequels.

I'm very happy about this.

I just bought three Brubaker things at Half Price Books. He's a delightful storyteller.
Really want to see Westworld but I'm stuck with basic cable.

It goes together like Pop-Tarts and milk.

I like Alien more, but they are both very good. Weird that they are from the same franchise and managed to be so different yet still manage to hang together.

I love everything about NFL Films.
