I was hoping for Dixie’s Midnight Runners

When I got bored with making my roller coasters crash, in Rollercoaster Tycoon, I’d make my drop tower too short and crank up the speed. Watching all those people get thrown to their death was fun. Good times...

I saw the first picture up above and got really excited that we were getting a gritty Columbo reboot. But alas...

Maybe in the third Random Roles, we can finally ask Bob Balaban about Greedy!

How’s this different from the other half-dozen times that was right to bring it back?

I felt it was an adequate performance.

The film had a brief cameo from Colin Quinn. I remember that much about it!

Oh no, you’ve got to go downtown, George. It’s all downtown. Just like the song says.

As someone that lives in the predominantly white state of Vermont, I can confirm that we have the same ads.

Does said twist involve the backside of water by any chance?

Elaine is been chosen to represent the Upper West Side in the next Biosphere project.”

I remember one of the earlier ideas for the third film involved Axel traveling to London and teaming up Sean Connery (or John Cleese) to avenge the murder of Paul Reiser’s character. The series really loved murdering off Axel’s friends... Only Ronny Cox managed to survive.

Yea, the sequence has the tape cutting out before switching through different TV shows including a scene from Falling Hare, the Looney Tunes short where Bugs Bunny fought gremlins. It ends with a re-edited scene from Chisum where John Wayne murders several gremlins.

Jonathan Banks was all over 1984. In addition to this, he also turned up as the drunk deputy in Gremlins and Lizardo’s guard in Buckaroo Banzai.

Hopefully Larry David gets cracking on the next season of Curb Your Enthusiasm where he’s joyfully navigating a quarantined Los Angeles free of forced awkward social situations.

Of course, he’s got to keep that lunch reservation he made with Richard Lewis.

I was surprised to learn that eating large quantities of black licorice really can cause diarrhea, among many other worse symptoms. At first, I assumed the implication was the salesman poisoned the man that guilted into buying a $150k car.

Yea, but there’s occasionally a PG or PG-13 horror film that has Steven Spielberg involved that manages to BS its way past the MPAA and traumatize a generation of children.

The only perfect phone call is the phone call never made.

Been playing through the Yakuza games recently.
