I had it starting with Across The Sea, so we’re going to have to fight to the death over custody of El Scorcho.

If we’re talking West Coast 90's rap, how about 2Pac’s (yeah, I’m still writing it that way):

I was thinking of posting that same Weezer trio. Honestly, aside from the insufferable “Thank God for Girls”, that white album is by far their third best for me. And I had long since stopped caring by the time it came out. I’m usually an album purist, but TGFG is such a blight on an otherwise great record that I’ve

Yeah — fair enough. I guess I meant that we didn’t actually see the majority of Hearts In Atlantis the book in Hearts In Atlantis the movie, and in that way, it was mostly unplumbed territory, but I take your point.

Or how about a full version of Hearts In Atlantis? The ‘01 movie only adapted a fraction of the book and left out my favorite section, the college one, which also provides the title. When taken together, the books’ interwoven segments create a moving portrait of King’s generation that constitutes, for me, some of his

Well, at least it gave us Rooney Mara. First thing I saw her in, anyway, and she’s become probably my favorite actress of her generation.

Ha -- fair enough! Only other thing I’ll say is that I also liked the mask from 4. It’s pretty divisive, because it’s so different from the original, but it definitely scared me the most as a kid.

Although, recall that the Druid angle was kiiiiiind of brought up in II, with ‘Samhain’ written on the chalk board in blood. There it was a nice, creepy touch, and it mostly worked because they didn’t go too far into it, as they did in 6.

‘I Wish’ by Skee-Lo, of course — the only song by him I’ve ever heard, yet I’ve (we’ve) heard it about 6,745,234 times. Still love it, though.

I actually like Halloween 4. Danielle Harris was a good little actress, especially in part 5, which is otherwise a slog to get through, aside from Donald Pleasence whom I always enjoy.

Gotta say a word in defense of Ordinary People here. It’s one of my favorite movies, and to me what it does so well is to create incredibly realistic, complex dynamics between all the major characters, who are themselves quite complex. I mean, all the shit going on between Conrad and Beth (his mother) — as well

This news has finally galvanized me into canceling Prime and boycotting Amazon in general. To me, no one should have that much money, and no company should dominate like Amazon — I’m tired of enabling both.

Would have been cool to see Pep Streep-ek. Heh-heh...

My favorite Streep off the top of my head is in Defending Your Life. Love that movie, and a character who makes life seem effortless was a good fit for her.

*Contains possible spoilers about The Circle, if anyone even cares about it.

Upvoted — or whatever the hell it’s called now — for shouting out The Burbs, which is probably my favorite Hanks movie. I think it’s brilliant.

What about "Sgt. Schlomo's Lonely Hearts Club Band?"

If you'd made those into two separate comments, I would have upvoted both!

Understood. I just thought "someone pointed out his apology was shitty because X, not Y" might have been referring to me, and if so might have made it sound like I said his apology was shitty, which I didn't mean to do. No biggie.
