As Stephen Colbert shows at 2:00 in, Seven Nation Army is really just an ad for yogurt:

I of course loved her as CJ on The West Wing, and was blown away when I recognized her in American Beauty on some cable re-run. That's when I attached "great actress" to her in my mind. Can there be two more different roles than CJ and the mom in American Beauty? So engaged and smart in one, and so absolutely…

Sammy's Super T-Shirt
Anyone else see the film "Sammy's Super T-Shirt" in grammar school? This was a staple during rainy day assemblies for us. A boy's t-shirt with a tiger on it gets electrified, and he gets super powers when he wears it.

I'm done
"Falling Skies has perpetually annoyed a fan base that has wanted more than anything to fall in love with this show."

Manic Pixie Drawn Girl
Thank you for not giving Ellie from Up the Manic Pixie Dream Girl tag. I think of MPDGs as characters that are written as shortcuts, in (usually) poorly-written movies. Ellie, and Up, are none of that.

The house I think of for San Francisco is Too Close For Comfort. Different generation, I guess.

I wonder if folks watching Dana Carvey's debut season on SNL thought "Hey, what's that guy from Blue Thunder doing here?"

I had forgotten when John Goodman was an annual host for SNL. His Linda Tripp impression was hiliarious.

Toys was the LOUDEST movie I've ever seen in a theater, everything turned up to late-night-infomercial levels. I don't know if it was the theater I was in, or the movie itself, but I've never come across it again, and have no interest in finding out who the culprit was. The blurry-camera cinematography for the…

@ Saul, I wonder if this film is in the French class rotation, because I remember seeing it in high school as well. This film and Le Chevre, which also had Gerard Depardieu in it, and also became a shitty American remake called Pure Luck with Martin Short. As Nathan mentions above, it's a Veber film.

I liked when AMC had a Story Notes version of the movie, their version of Pop-Up Video with little factoids about the movie. I didn't catch it all, and would like to see that version again.

I always wondered why the dumb ape throws the bone in the air. He just used it to pummel the shit out of the other apes and become all dominant, and then he tosses it. Why not keep it so you can continue to crack skulls? It's like he's some ape mafioso, tossing the weapon to get rid of incriminating evidence.

How is that Summer Story movie, worth a rental?

Poor Tony, with his old guy eyesight, he could barely make out the incoming order tickets in his comeback at Les Halles. How will he ever be able to fare in the "Special Forces" precision at El Bulli.

Because Tommy Lee made a sex tape with Pamela Anderson.

Thoroughly, completely agree. MOACA was just great television, while Franklin & Bash is just irrelevant shit.

Definitive Chicago movie
Although The Blues Brothers is a great movie, to me the definitive Chicago movie is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I have a dream of taking a day to go do all the things that Ferris and the gang do…museum, Cub game, pretending to be a sausage king at a fancy restaurant, dancing in a parade, etc.

I attribute it to the tailored suits and slicked back hair on Mad Men. Everyone always looks put together on that show.

Thanks Todd
What an uplifting and hopeful article to end this series, not the type of reading I usually see on this site.

That sounds like a super-size episode of This American Life. It would need to be two hours.
