Oh God, the Tiny and Victor podcast…THAT was when I almost got into a car accident, I was laughing so hard. I will never forget it for that reason. Although if I had gotten killed, it would have been a good way to go.

I had a very similar experience when I saw him in Athens, GA many years ago.

I kind of deserve a medal for making it that far into the season, screaming "Goddamn it Barry" over and over and not having a seizure of some kind.

That must be it, now that you mention it.

I was watching the penultimate episode of last season having no idea who this actor was, and my father-in-law walks in and immediately says "Oh, that's Draco Malfoy." My father-in-law is in his seventies.

Sark and Evil sounds like a cartoon show he should be voicing.

Vanilla Ice was too busy plotting his future as the host of a home improvement show on the DIY network. He had PLANS.

I still think about "Smokers Allowed" all the time. This is the one where Nathan convinces the owners of a bar to turn it into an immersive theater so they can legally allow smoking. And his idea of doing immersive theater is to record a night at the bar and then hire actors to recreate the scene with precision. And…

I live in Wisconsin and when this story was mentioned on Wisconsin Public Radio, the mark of the beast idea was brought up. Which is very surreal to hear before I've had coffee.

It's nostalgia at its most toxic. There's nothing wrong with liking all those things. There is something wrong about writing a book about liking all those things and calling it "a novel."

Curious, did the regular (non-roadshow, non-70 mm) version have an intermission? I only saw the roadshow version, which had the intermission and recap you mention.

The intermission was actually part of the movie (the fake trailers - unless your theater did it differently). It was actually pretty great to see people get up and treat it like a real intermission, though there was no way I was going to miss out on the likes of Edgar Wright's "Don't," "Thanksgiving," etc…

A conversation I had with my wife 2 weeks ago: "Oh, they have the IT Crowd complete series on DVD." Her: "But you can watch it whenever you want on Netflix."

Centuries ago they had to destroy the giant Pyramid and Statue of Liberty standing behind it because it looked too weird.

Like 100% the problem.

With American Gods it could keep going even after adapting the book because the premise is so rich. (When I read that book, it honestly felt more like the first book in a long series anyway.) You're right, Sirens would work best as a miniseries. If it was an ongoing series it could still be very good, though it might…

I'm worried about the possibility that this might be a network show. Yes, it could still be great…but I would rather it go to a more risk-taking, R-rated place like Starz, HBO, etc.

Even as a child, when this film came on TV I knew it was some kind of genuine evil that had been unleashed upon the world and I wanted to get away as quickly as possible.

I forgot about that one too. And I watched it. I seem to recall it was…OK? I don't really remember.

You are forgetting Slapstick of Another Kind. That is…please, please forget Slapstick of Another Kind.
