He’s only in it for the money and not the science of whipping innocent cattle at high speeds.

They already tried a Robocop TV series

That was because D’Onofrio literally collapsed from exhaustion on set.

I agree.  

This article and review also seemingly and weirdly letting Koresh off the hook. Sure, the ATF and FBI screwed things up, but to suggest that “dark gray areas to every claim on every side” is nonsense. Koresh was an awful, far-right, fundamentalist creep that needed to be stopped.

See, I really want movie theaters to just be about movies. I don’t want to have service at my seat, I don’t want recliners, I don’t want a bowling alley, I don’t want an arcade, I just want to see a movie.

I knew nothing about REM and was in the nearest music store (about 20 miles) where they knew me. The owner gives me a promo copy of Fables on cassette saying he doesn’t know how he can sell such awful music.  I’ve been a fan ever since and Fables remains my favorite album (followed closely by Reckoning).

Came here to say this. Texarkana from Out of Time, These Days from Life’s Rich Pageant, and Try Not To Breathe from Automatic For the People are my glaring omissions from this list.

I always wonder if “Kohoetek” resonates with people who weren’t around when the comet made its half-assed appearance. After all the hype about it being the biggest thing since Haley’s comet, it was mostly a non-event. That feeling of “is that all there is?” really informs the song.

The whole point was to not be mysterious for a song and to say something straightforward on behalf of people who are in pain. Stipe the queer kid was reaching out to fellow misfits like him and telling them as clearly as possible that they are not alone. It’s beautiful and moving, and probably helped a whole lot of…

Oh shit - how’d I miss that? OK, comment retracted.

I realize I’m not So Much In Touch With The Kids These Days, but I do find it striking that such a major band as R.E.M. has mostly, kinda, essentially disappeared from the wider cultural consciousness-- sure, their big hits show-up here and there in movies/tv but I’ve yet to randomly stumble upon social media vids set…

Hi Mary Kate Carr (or anyone else who may be able to help) - I am hoping to get help getting out of the greys? I have been commenting here for years, and cannot seem to get un-greyed? I try to always be a good useful commenter - not sure how to help myself get un-greyed aside from direct asking I guess?

Not long after Fables came out, my record store/music store boss paid me $5 to figure out what the lyrics to “Can’t Get There...” were so his band could cover it. I have no idea what I came up with, but years later saw the subtitled video and almost felt like I should give him his money back.

And also for this…

“Can’t Get There From Here” should also be considered (it at least got a stealth name drop). It’s just kind of silly, but it’s got some great word-smithing, if only for incorporating the town of Philomath, Georgia. It’s also the first R.E.M. song I ever heard.

Half a World definitely needs to be in there. Breathtaking song.

Shiny Happy People deserves recognition. Mainly for Kate Pierson reasons.

I love watching the really old L&O episodes because it gives you a picture into how crime fighting was pre-tech revolution. Like in the early seasons, they are constantly standing by pay-phones to call into the station and stuff. Over time just more and more “new” stuff is added in.

I liked Mehcad  Brooks from Supergirl, but they never knew what to do with him. He's been great in this.
