Reading some of the comments below, I am reminded (ahem) that I had the soundtracks to Cocktail and Batman before The Crow.

The NIN/Pumpkins fanbase crossover was suprisingly high in those days. I consider myself a member of that group.

I think the first soundtrack I ever actually got was for The Crow. That’s a slice of heaven for me still, but if 6 year old me could have gotten his hands on a copy of the Neverending Story soundtrack I’m sure I would have been just pleased as punch.

Man, my favorite SNL sketch of this election cycle was Carvey’s Ross Perot trying to ditch Hartman’s Admiral Stockdale out in the woods.

There’s not really anything fun about that fact.

Am I wrong that Theo didn’t have her “gift” until the childhood scene of her holding a ghost’s hand that she thought 0as her sisters? (The scene in bed, she asks “Whose hand was I holding?”) So, in that sense, the house DID in fact give her the gift?

Wait was Tomsula wearing the diaper or the monkey?

“The Sun did not name Barber’s alleged attacker because they were not able to reach him for comment” 

There was a VHS tape I rented from a Hollywood Video that was basically this concept.

I think his point was more about toxic masculinity and conjecture about the guy’s steroid usage (“roid rage” is such a popular concept, it’s no surprise that SOMEONE would say its what caused the guy to mail pipe bombs). Not really making fun of a physical presentation, more about what the presentation might reveal…

I vaguely remember this story. After being such a great short story writer in the early-to-mid part of his career, Just After Sunset felt like such a letdown to me.

The broadcast I was watching (in Chicago) cut off most of the tree rap video. Anyone else experience that?

Yes, I heard that. Pretty dated reference in 2018.

Nobody should be robbed, and nothing I’m about to type is a refutation of this basic premise.

Apparently, she’s rich, too.

Yeah, I’m not ready to laugh about the situations we’re in these days...

Yeah. I’m not sure I could even go back to the site.

If you’ve never heard of John Mulaney, your commentary about the stand-up comedy scene are not needed.

Yeah, this schmoe has to do jail time but almost nobody who was personally responsible for wrecking the economy for everyone around that same time period does. Seems fair.
