Erik Davis is no dummy.
I know Erik. He's a good guy. He wrote the Led Zep book for 33 1/3.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

multi-Oscar-winning person linked to American Gods is Robert Richardson
Looks like he brought it to Tom Hanks for Playtone - so lots and lots of Oscars between them.

A True Bourdain No Reservations would have to be on Showtime.
My brother (who is eerily like Tony Bourdain, only 25 years younger) really liked Kitchen Confidential, but he said that he couldn't really buy the show because there was no constant stream of blistering vulgarity. (If he had a cooking show, it would be called "Who Left Their Fucking Order In My Fucking Window, You Fucks?")

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Huh. I was certain that "Meet Me Halfway" was from the Top Gun soundtrack, but it turns out it's from that Sly Stallone arm wrestling movie. Which I haven't thought about in at least two decades.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Over the Top!
And yes, there are so many better things I could store in those brain cells.

I was just thinking that today as I could perfectly recall the standup comedian who did the "Oh honey, it's the Wisemans. They brought Myrhh" bit (Cathy Ladman) but have difficulty remembering where I parked the car.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The Wisemans? The Wisemans? They always bring such crappy gifts! 'Oh, thank you for the nice...myrhh.'

Thank you, Bev.

I use that phrase all the time. Thank you for the name--I kept coming up Joy Behar, or Monica Piper, Wendy Liebman. Elayne Boosler and Judy Tenuta were right out of the running, though.
I also use, "No, Beverly, just you." Which I stole from Monica Piper.
