I surprisingly didn't know anything about it somehow when I was visiting my family for Christmas that year. They wanted to see Titanic, so I went along, not really knowing anything about it. I was mostly entertained, although I hated those stupid bookends*, and Leo was a bit of a bellend in that.

"I thought that music mattered…but it was bullocks!"

Hey, was MST3K on late Saturday nights or late Sunday nights? I used to love coming home after a night out carousing, and having some post drinking food while watching MST3K at 3AM or whenever it was. I had originally thought it was late Sunday nights, but in retrospect I think you're right about late Saturday…

WRT Britpop, probably my favorite CD from that year was Pulp's This Is Hardcore. I had bought the Trainspotting CD, which had Pulp's Mile End on it, it got me curious about the band (I vaguely remember Jarvis Cocker engaged in some hijinx with Michael Jackson on some Brit awards show), but other than that the band…

That was outstanding but LA Confidential really rocked my world and got me fully into Ellroy from that point forward.

Yeah! I remember that song from Doug Liman's "Swingers" follow-up "Go", which I saw in the theater, and I did that double feature trick which I'm too old to do now, where I saw "Go" then waited 20 minutes in the middle of "Analyze This", then saw "The Matrix." Definitely 1999, but those are happy memories.

Dear The AV Club,

Huh! You have a better memory than I do. The last thing I remember seeing her in was her Pulp Fiction cameo, and I was aware that she had a popular live one person show for a while.

I don't know what you're on about. I haven't seen Silence of the Lambs in about 20 years. Sometimes it's on AMC or TNT but I usually bail early because it's edited for television and loaded with a thousand commercials. I liked the TV show a lot though, the one with Mads Mikkelson in it. I haven't seen the Pat skit…

The one thing that's a billionfold more pathetic than a website cynically constructing a clickbait Outrage Du Jour think piece written for the sole purpose of generating hits for ad revenue,* is people who excuse voting for Donald Trump because of comment sections on said clickbait articles.

Apropos of nothing other than I barely remember Julia Sweeney on SNL in the '90's, I was trying to find an old Disqus post and saw last August The AV Club did that 1996 retrospective. Is their 1997 retrospective about due? One thing that I can tell you about 1997 is by that time Julia Sweeney and her repitiore of…

That beloved icon's name was Tim Kazurinski, you monster!

To which Bond retorst: You're the money now, Dawg! You're the money now, Dawg! You're the money now, Dawg!

Am I the only one who hopes the cynical moneyball blockbuster/franchise ad inifitum model will cause the studio system to eventually collapse harder than it did in the mid-60's? I mean, I appreciate it's contribution to my state but shit…maybe it's the only way. In the meantime, foreign films, indie films and…

ASS: THE MOVIE

Don't worry, soon you'll be able to enjoy the Emoji Movie and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 3 to ease your anti-reductionist angst.

It's a great word in that every time I see it I know to automatically disregard anything the user has to say. It's meaningless shibboleth used by Edgy Bros to pretend there's no difference whatsoever between Democrats & Republicans. A buzzword beloved by lazy nihilistic (usually white male) hipsters.

Please. We know that Fresno Bob is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in his stomach. Fetch the Caladrius Bird!

This summarizes my feelings on the matter.
