Much of my enjoyment in reading B&T is the strange uniqueness of the sport itself: the mix of gladiatorial-pomp and statistical anoraks. I don't think Euro football has the same traction.

I have no interest in American Football and yet I read 'Block & Tackle' every week, because Teti is a damn entertaining writer.

My God, Ann-Margaret… *swoons*

To each his own, my friend. I actually can't separate 'Welcome to the Jungle' and 'You Could Be Mine' honestly.

I think Robert Patrick made this movie. The CGI helped tremendously, but his role was seared into my 12-year-old brain more or less simply due to his performance, which was at once relentless, hard-nosed, unassuming and utterly terrifying. In my opinion, he is actually one of the best horror villains of all time.

Not even Morrissey's silly title and lyrics choice could sabotage what is and remains my favorite pop song ever, 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others'. Critics always mentioned 'How Soon Is Now' as the Smiths' signature song. They're wrong: it's the heaven-scented, God-intended opening notes of 'Some Girls…'.

Big Star's 'Take' Care' never, never fails to make me shed tears. You'll hear why in the opening seconds…

If it wasn't for that new record deal, I think REM would have called it quits. It was such a remarkably expensive contract, but signed at the worst possible time for Warner, because the band was already winding down back to outsider status.

If R.E.M. had disbanded when Bill Berry quit the band, they would have had the perfect end song to complete the story: 'Electrolite' is the greatest last song on an album ever and their most finest song ever. The video, especially the violin mid, still brings me to tears.

Blue Ruin was fantastic, and featured two inspired stunt castings as well: Eve Plumb and Devin Ratray.

'You Could Be Mine' was their greatest ever song, one of the greatest ever songs, and one of the greatest music videos aimed at promoting a feature film ever.

I once used the words 'Welcome to the Jungle' in a story composition in primary school. I was nine years old in 1988. I got 1st place (yes, 1st place instead of a grade) and to this day, I had no idea where and how I got the reference.

Oh my, you were the right the first time! It was indeed All for the Winner, and my memory was so fuzzy I got several details wrong. It was foam on the mouth, not blood and Ng was punched directly which sent the thug holding him behind flying! I haven't watched that movie in such a long time.

I was 15 too in 1994, and back then was just starting up a cd collection with my miniscule $2-a-day pocket money. I forgo eating at school for two weeks saving up to buy this piece of shit album, just because a local magazine I admired posted a good review. I have forgotten about this particular song almost 22 years…

Hmm not sure AFTW, because I distinctly remembered a grunt getting punched in the gut and Ng was directly behind him. It was a bar fight. It could be Fist of Fury.

It's a good scene, but I much preferred Chow in his earlier years when he was trying to prove himself (he was up against the then god of comedy, Michael Hui): his flicks with his still greatest foil, Ng Man Tat, was spectacular, with none of the special effects to over-complicate. I regret not remembering the title,…
