I'm still waiting for that Scanners remake which has supposedly been kicking around in Development Hell for over a decade. That's the sort of movie I don't mind seeing remade: the original was brimming with fantastic ideas, but it was hamstrung by a lame cast (a young Michael "I'm Gonna Suck Your Brains Out" Ironside…

I was three when the original movie came out and must have seen it, but my first cinematic memory is seeing Empire with my dad a few years later. In the car on the drive home, there was a guy behind us on a motorcycle wearing a black leather jacket and a black helmet, and my dad convinced me that it was Darth Vader.…

Meh.

Ehh, Hannity's not going anywhere for the simple reason that if he goes, Tucker Carlson becomes the face of Fox News, and no marketing department on earth could make that work. He's the only 48-year-old male on earth who I'm reasonably sure still wears a bathing suit when he showers.

It always makes me think of Civilization II, where the partisan military units could be a pain in the ass late in the game.

I cast my vote for Steve Doocy.

One time, Rush got a caller who tried calling BS on environmentalists on the grounds that ozone emissions are a good thing because they help to firm up the ozone layer that protects us from solar radiation. To his credit (I guess), instead of dismissing it all as liberal propaganda, Rush did explain to the guy why…

True enough. I like to think that if you sat Hannity down and explained that Rush, O'Reilly, and most of the other conservative talking heads are (to some degree) playing a role for the money and fame, he'd be absolutely shocked.

I underestimated Hannity's ability to expand to fill the space that O'Reilly left behind. Somehow Hannity just gets louder and more obnoxious with each passing day.

I wish I could say, but I've never been able to get their site up.

Several of them, probably.

He's great too.

Wait, "cooler" is a real job? Whoa…

Yep. So is Richter's. And the Anchor.

"1950s-style diner with classic American fare where sassy staffers dance on the counter tops."

Colt Prattes. They really didn't need to give his character a different name.

At one time, a CD entitled "The Best of Eric Carmen" existed, and somehow I knew someone who had it. All I remember is that the poor intern who got stuck writing the liner notes repeatedly made the dubious claim that Dirty Dancing's success was entirely due to legions of Eric Carmen fans rediscovering his music.

Roadhouse, a movie about a the world's greatest bouncer taking on basically a crime lord

Just stay away from those goddamned orange ones they put out around Halloween.

I'm assuming that the ending sets up Baywatch Nights by introducing aliens and a government cover-up.
