I do like Boyega, and I didn't realize Charlie Day was coming back! I mean, I watched Horrible Bosses 2 for Charlie Day. :-O

I loved the first one, but I feel like half the audience showed up for Guillermo Del Toro and the other half was there because they wanted to see Idris Elba cancel the apocalypse. (I'm in the middle of that Venn diagram.) What's the point now?

Stay strong!

I respect anyone's right to carry around an umbrella, but try that nonsense in Washington, and I'm gonna assume you're a tourist or a coward.

My sympathies. :-/

Hey! That's the "City of Destiny" you're talking about!

I know! I never quite realized that this is the tie that binds us together—along with disdain towards umbrella-users.

My university was a few minutes walk from both Toshis and Teriyaki Madness, and the cafeteria was notoriously bad on Sundays. We would always ditch for teriyaki and then remember it was closed after we go there. This happened too many times.

This is my experience exactly. Recently moved from Seattle to Memphis. A search for teriyaki brought up two expensive thai places and a list of Subways.

This is absolutely, 100% true and I never realized it until a couple of months ago.

I'm a she not a sir… ha!

When I was 5, Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound" was my favorite song and I listened to it over and over and over.

I think Davy's voice definitely worked on quite a few of the songs he sang lead on, "Valleri" included. I am quite fond of "Forget That Girl." Micky's voice is just not praised enough though.

And add "Star Collector" to the list.

Definitely! I honestly can't see what's not to love about The Monkees as a whole entity: band and show. In Tork and Nesmith, you have two genuinely great musicians (and good performers). And, in Dolenz and Jones, you have two genuinely great performer/entertainers who were also good musicians (and Dolenz' voice is

That's depressing. HEAD is ridiculous, and certainly everyone doesn't have the same humour, but it is genuinely funny and cleverly-constructed. I'm not sure how someone could watch it without seeing it as a response to the constraints of their "manufactured image."

Yes. Thank you. My mind is now at rest. Also, Bright Young Things has every single famous British actor before they were famous. It is extraordinary.

I think the bizarre, surreal humour of the show is underrated. So much of that comes directly from the performances of the four leads, yet they are forever derided as talentless studio-manipulated props.

This is bothering me, so I must know—is that Michael Sheen in your profile pic?

The Monkees have been my favorite band since I was 10-years-old, and I refuse to change that designation.
