See, here's my problem with that comment, and understand, I'm just trying to get the argument.  There are so many songs in the pop world with this sort of sentiment, I'm not sure why this one is taking all the heat.

Hmm.. I see the connection, but when I first heard it, I thought Prince's "Kiss".  The falsetto, guitar, etc.  Just seemed a natural connection.. maybe Prince could sue also.. or maybe Marvin Gaye could sue Prince.. Its getting hard to tell the players without a program..

Why the long face?

Me as well.. Such creepy images, and great performances from Karen Black, Oliver Reed ( I think) and Bette Davis(!) I bought the dvd when I saw it available..haven't watched it, but I would think it probably wouldn't hold up so well today..

Of course!  Gorge Catanda?  More like George Costanza!  I smell another Penske File in the making…Seems like George has found himself another way to avoid working for the Yankees…

yuuuuuuuuuuup!

So I know this is a little late, and probably no one will read it, especially at AV Club, but there are actually 3 more episodes of this show that aired in places other than the US.. I don't know if there are plans to air them in the states or not, but is there any thought to reviewing these final 3 episodes?  I've…

The Toastmaker, not sure of all situations, but I can tell you mine.  Where I bought my house, the developer of the area, before they sold to anyone, registered a restrictive covenant on all of the titles, requiring or restraining certain activities.  For instance, all fences must be chain link, and no higher than a…

Just to further Benjamin's comments, the second season of Better off Ted is worth the effort to find and see..so don't give up!

I always liked that little bit of the landing in the hallway.  It made no sense from a building perspective, but he always had to run up and down that little bit whenever he was in a hurry, and it always added a little bit more frustration… always fun to watch.. but yes, you're right… any of them with Basil in it was…

Really, they're all fantastic…  but I have to give the nod to either "Communication Problems" or Basil the Rat…

I actually have the dvds to this, and have watched it a few years ago.. You are not wrong in your criticism, nor your memory.  While the show had a fun conceit, with the old show clips, and the plots weren't too bad, showing the development of the writers pre-Friends, Brian's acting is so over the top and hammy.  His…

"No I'm not!"

It was an inspired guess…

Untold story?  Balderdash and Poppycock I say!
"Are you…… Mary, Queen of Scots?""I am..""Take this, Mary, Queen of Scots!"(crashing sounds, general mayhem ensues)Repeat.

That was pretty cool.. hearing staraflur from the Avalon speed up…did not see that coming… but I should also not be surprised that someone on the internet has actually done this thing and sped up Sigur Ros songs…. Great job..?  Am still somewhat disappointed it didn't end up being "Sugar, Sugar" though.

Now I want to speed up Sigur Ros 800 percent and see what comes up… The Archies? Spice Girls? Rick Astley?  The mind boggles…

Just came across this in random avclub reading… if I recall correctly, the original concept album, that Ian Gillian sings on (and Murray Head as Judas) was not the broadway album, but came before that album.  The broadway album had Ben Vereen as Judas and Jeff Fenholt as Jesus.  The movie version, which I believe is…

You're right about Ben & Kate, and some argument can be made that Fox gave Arrested Development 3 seasons even though the ratings were low.  For that matter, ABC gave a second season to Better off Ted, even though ratings were low, so give them credit for that.  But as you said, when giving those extra seasons and…

Whoops! You're right… I got caught up in the moment…and also, to be fair, other networks can be guilty of this too, ie Fox with Ben & Kate, or arguably Arrested Development.. sometimes they yank the show early, and sometimes they just move the show continually from timeslot to timeslot  so no one knows when its on, do…
