I've heard good things! Will have to add that to my list of must-sees.

Maybe "Casablanca" WAS too obvious to be mentioned by any of the writers, but I'm glad at least one person in the forum mentioned it.

Haven't seen the film, but I agree that sometimes romance should be about keeping your head in the clouds rather than being aware of the fact that it's raining just below them.

Now you make me wanna see "American Beauty" again, which I can do quite easily since I own the DVD. Then again, I have so many that I haven't watched yet, so perhaps another day.

Yeah, it's the S&M movie for people who don't particularly care for S&M, myself included.

I know some don't care for it, but I'm also a fan of that one as well as "Before Sunrise." I suppose "Amelie" is about romance the way "It's a Wonderful Life" is about Christmas, which is not much. But the endings of both linger in the mind enough to give us the impression that that's what they were about all along.…

I was just thinking of "A Little Romance" recently when I saw a photo at Panda Express of what I initially thought was the Bridge of Sighs. After my ex and I watched that movie and had gone to bed, I told her to imagine that we were in a gondola passing under the bridge at sunset and that we needed to kiss very soon.…

Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing "Before Sunrise," Sean! It's by far my favorite romantic movie, and the sequels seem to emphasize just how romantic it is by comparison. There's a huge difference between romance and love, and that initial spark between Jesse and Celine in the first film seems to be the…

How about Monika Treut's "My Father is Coming"? Not a major film about U.S. immigration, but it did come to mind.

Dan Carlin might know his history and can share it in a very articulate way, but I believe that Lee Oswald (his middle name Harvey was as extraneous as YOUR middle name would be) was not a gunman at all. New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison was convinced that Oswald didn't shoot either JFK or Officer J.D. Tippit…

I think the playfulness of "H.W.C." might be a better introduction, but I can't speak from experience.

There's a lesson to be learned there, I think. I gave The Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs" to a few people and then they disappeared from my life. But the woman who stuck with me already had it, albeit in separate discs rather than the boxed set. Which is why we lasted six-and-a-half years before she too hit the dusty…

I'd personally add "Headache" (which I think is sexy as hell) and "Rock Me" (which has a meta lyric that's one of my all-time favorites), but I'm thrilled that Liz Phair is getting her due here. I said earlier this year on Facebook that even though "whitechocolatespaceegg" isn't "Exile on Guyville," it's also true…

You dumbass!

Damn, I watched it again, and Lenk is definitely in it as one of the not-so-famous celebrities. It's a shame cause I don't have many opportunities to pull out my standard Tom Lenk joke.

No, Lenk was missing from the video. And you know what that makes him, right?

Yeah, I fell for the ad for Sea Monkeys, which were really much-less entertaining brine shrimp. I was also naive enough to order a pair of x-ray glasses. A good learning experience for a kid who was easily suckered by misleading marketing.

I work with someone who revealed that she had been on "The Jerry Springer Show" twice. I've seen the clip of one of those appearances and can confirm it was her. She was basically acting out a character, so Jerry had no reason to be concerned at all about his so-called guests.

If a well-known personality was able to successfully fake his death for 32 years, I'd say that's quite an accomplishment. The guy was famous for staying in character, and he'd have to make sure he was NEVER Andy while out in public. I read an article in Rolling Stone where he showed up for the interview after he'd…

I was thinking the same thing. Zmuda might be exploiting Kaufman, or maybe he's just doing the same sort of thing Kaufman would've done since he liked pushing people's buttons to get a reaction.
