Yeah, I know Orphan Black isn't cinema, but I was hoping it had been added as a bonus entry.

Kaufman was a performance artist posing as a comedian. He'd play characters much like professional wrestlers do and try to provoke the audience to feel something rather than just laugh at a series of jokes. That's why wrestling and insulting women was such a big deal to him. Staying in character was what it was all

Mine is whatever was the first bootleg of the Beatles' Christmas records, although I'm not sure if that counts since they were originally issued to fan club members.

This isn't gonna register with anyone here, but I was convinced for many years that my favorite Sacramento musician Anton Barbeau (who now lives in Berlin) was NOT related to Adrienne Barbeau of Swamp Thing fame. But there it is at the bottom of his Wikipedia bio: "Anton is a cousin of the actress Adrienne Barbeau."

I was a deejay at a college radio station back in 1984, and I remember pronouncing Sade the way it was spelled after playing "Smooth Operator." Seriously, how was I supposed to know?!

Yeah, you'd think he'd wonder why Joel Coen would waste his time with a Garfield movie judging from everything he'd written and directed previously.

Yeah, I've known the David Bowie album title Aladdin Sane for a good three decades now but only just recently realized it could be interpreted as "A Lad Insane." And I think it took me a while to figure out the Buddy Holly reference in Julian Cope's Peggy Suicide.

My most embarrassing mistake (that I'm willing to admit) was commenting on the official Buffy the Vampire Slayer posting board that Glenn Quinn's Irish accent wasn't very convincing after the first episode of Angel aired. Someone informed me that it was his own accent, so that shut me right up. In my defense, I was

I grew up during the Seventies and didn't have a very high opinion of Paul Williams as a musician since he wasn't a particularly accomplished vocalist and seemed clownish with all the guest appearances on talk shows. The documentary definitely made him seem more sympathetic to me, and I now have more respect for the

I need to save that interview for my friend Robert, who got me to watch the documentary with him earlier this year. I just listened to Gottfried singing like Williams, which was very strange and funny. I do a decent impersonation myself while crooning "You and Me Against the World," my favorite song of his that I'm

Will Harris - You should check out the documentary "Paul Williams Still Alive" sometime. It's quite a revelation.

I had never seen that before and I agree it looks extremely complicated and must have taken quite a few takes to accomplish. You can see how the band was very careful not to jar them while moving 'em around on those chairs. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I assume they didn't have anywhere near the budget of the featured videos and still managed to get a lot of amateurs to pull it off in one take. And a lot of cute ladies in that one as well!

This doesn't really count cause it's only one-shot until 2:43 and pales in comparison to these other videos, but I'll use any flimsy excuse I can to introduce Tele Novella to a select portion of the masses. The chick with the purple hair and the blue bow and the geetar is the love of my life. The dude with the cards

"I'd Like to Know" and "Strange Ones" from Supergrass' I Should Coco as well as the two versions (normal & insane) of "Little Bleep Bleep" courtesy of Anton Barbeau's The Golden Boot.

What's so funny about this is that when I discovered the "Jump the Shark" website years ago, I didn't get the reference, but Happy Days was still the one show that I provided evidence for in regards to when it jumped the shark. And no, it wasn't when Fonzie literally jumped the shark. It was that moment mentioned

When Paul does pass on, you'll have the old theorists pointing and saying, "See, we told you so!" while new theorists will claim that Paul's still alive and will have plenty of evidence to back it up.

Savage! And young!!

When I saw it recently, this is what I muttered for Caine: "You can pet me, but that's as far as it goes!" Still, wolves are pretty darn sexy, and keep in mind that Caine LOOKS like Channing Tatum and nothing at all like a dog. Why shouldn't Jupiter be attracted to him after he's carried her around the city during a

With bangers like "Wild and Blue" and "Heaven Sent" included to show that Knock Knock was a band that cranked out the hits, their third album We Will Raise Your Child was chock-full of pop gems just begging for a melody-and-hook-starved audience. Buried amongst them was the title track, which set the stage for the
