Yeah…all I know is that when the video came out, my family & circle of friends mocked it mercilessly. I didn't even see what was so wrong with it (other than thinking it was "boring" by flashy MTV standards) — but the common reaction was certainly mockery, and then Squier's popularity seemed to evaporate.

I had a friend who was a music major and session musician, and he absolutely worshiped Jeff Porcaro. From him I learned that you can find stunning musicianship in the most benign places (like Toto).

It's the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon of iPhone apps!

Oh, so he's basically like the guy from Whiplash.

That is really interesting, thank you. And as someone else here pointed out, Ringo was the only one who already had some fame as a musician; so when you add it all up, why wouldn't they go with him?

At least Darrel Hammond maintained his streak of not entertaining me in anything he's ever done.

I've never liked Locklear and never thought she was sexy — despite Hollywood forever insisting that she was. So yes, it hurt me that she was cast in ST2.

I still use Steve Martin's exhausted, "Make…the bad man…stop" line from that movie when I'm feeling put-upon (or whatever).

I equate it to the line from Swamp Thing 2, where Swamp Thing protestingly says, "I'm a plant." And Heather Locklear replies, "That's OK, I'm a vegetarian!"

"Mawg" was the first thing I thought of when I heard about the character.

Maybe she should have taken a lesson from Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie:

I liked Reloaded because it set up some intriguing questions about the film universe, which made me eager to see Revolutions.

Constantine mentioned it to Zed on the show. Can't remember the episode, but it definitely happened.

It is still affecting, thanks to Heath Ledger's brilliant performance. That final scene with his daughter gets me every time. And I think the light touch used by Ang Lee makes the film timeless (certainly more so than something like Haggis' Crash.)

Richard Jordan was one of my favorite character actors, and he left us far too soon. Most people know him from Hunt for Red October as the tell-it-like-it-is Senator ("Are you tellin' me you've lost anothah submarine?!"). But I always admired him for his work on my favorite TV series, The Equalizer.

I loved Armed & Dangerous too, principally because it featured my biggest cinema crush, a pre-stardom Meg Ryan. I haven't seen it in decades, but I still remember her doing the gun training: "The bullets come out of this end very, very fast."

"This is Ohio…if you're not carrying a brewsky, you might as well be wearing a dress."

It wasn't a comedy, but she worked on a low-budget film in the 80s that my stepdad was a producer on, and he said she was aces. A complete pro, and very approachable. Robert Morley on the other hand…

I can't recall if I've ever heard a recording, but he was supposedly pretty good. But given the Beatles' success with Ringo, it's rather hard to argue with their decision to cut Pete…

I do think "…Hero" is a great song, but I agree that "One of the Living" is greater.
