  1. Just wanted to point out that Vyvyan from The Young Ones had the first line of spoken dialogue in The Last Jedi. Would have loved a cameo from Neil and Mike the Cool Person. RIP Rik Mayall.
  2. I'd drop Without a Net from the curriculum, and replace it with a viewing of the Dead movie.
  3. Europe 72 is a great place to start. That album and Live/Dead were my launching points.
  4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=62&v=EIY-PsHrj9A There's another Mark Hamill quote from another video on youtube saying: "It's only a movie. And if you think you're going to go into the movie and recapture your childhood, you're setting yourself up for disappointment."
  5. ^ My sex life isn't what it used to be, but on the bright side I have a snow blower that vibrates like hell...
  6. Sure, maybe they do. And? So? You're asking me to compare the impact of watching Last Jedi at 48 years old, versus watching Star Wars when I was 7. I don't enjoy watching Star Wars now. I think it's slow. I've tried watching Force Awakens a second time, but lost interest. I did enjoy it when I saw it originally. I also enjoyed Last Jedi. Rogue One is the one I've been able to enjoy watching multiple times. I think it might be my favorite Star Wars movie of all, but I'm not willing to nudge it ahead of Empire Strikes Back.
  7. Yeah, I get it. I think the people who get pissed at movies for not meeting their expectations (I hate the Lord of the Rings movies...) should take a deep breath and a step back. Was the new Star Wars a kick in the balls to you? I guess so. I'm sorry for that. I loved the fact that Rey's parents were nobodys (and I hope they stick with that). I loved the kid at the end, who force grabbed the broom. That kid is me, in the summer between 1st and 2nd grades, seeing the first Star Wars movie. If you want more Han Solo, guess what - there's a whole new franchise for that. Will the new Han
  8. Yeah, they're fucked in 2018. Or not. People tend to re-elect their own idiots, but hate everyone else in politics.
  9. But he was part of the crew until '93, right? I'm trying to look up why he was fired, and answers range from burying Bob in the mix, to not making Sting loud enough, to being a junky...
  10. No, that's what the prequel trilogy was. Specifically midichlorians. And how did Obi-Wan die again? Luke, Leia and Han Solo were in the original three. Let the next generation get theirs.
  11. Rented this last night. Really slow. At least they gave us a nice buns shot from Olsen.
  12. Nice one, ZFT: http://www.zappa.com/news/frank-zappas-legendary-1973-roxy-performances-captured-definitive-seven-cd-boxed-set
  13. Check your inbox. I just sent you my code, which was sent this morning. It's for the 3/10 show. I'm not going to use it. As far as I know, I'm not on a wait list (never got such an e-mail)
  14. The Donovan lyrics astutely predict a minor plotline in Game of Thrones.
  15. Can’t spell Alobama without Obama? I’ll sit down...
  16. Tinnitus - do you know the woman who was kicked by Homme? Have you ever had to deal with such an experience? Context
  17. Saw Wonder over the weekend. I wonder if it's too late for Owen Wilson to transition to a haircut that isn't "5th grade skateboarder"
  18. Michelle Bachman, duh. Former Minnesotan here. Keith Ellison would be ideal. They don’t want a Wendell Anderson shitshow to play out again. I have a story about him. Old guy was an old school poon hound. In the early aughts, I was invited to his house to watch one of the Gore/ Bush debates with some classmates. He was on one of my classmates like stink on a monkey. Like openly. He was all hands. And she couldn’t escape because she was in a wheelchair! He kept on offering to take her on a tour of the house, which she would roll her eyes at. She wasn’t uncomfortable, and it wasn’t awkwa
  19. That's nuts. My only complaint is that they didn't bring in David Hidalgo for the video. (he played the accordion in this recording)
  20. Looks like Al Franken is going to resign tomorrow. Fucking shame, but it's clear that he had a pattern of inappropriate and inexcusable behavior towards women.
  21. Tonight I'm going to watch the documentary of the concert the Grateful Dead (smartly) backed out of, 48 years ago today.
