In a simpler, stupider time, this is where wikkid would scold us over our eternal overlookfulness of his boyz, the feat.

I PM wikkid thru FFA semi-regularly - miss him too - and he always answers within a few days. They are not the wordmonsters like his old posts, but there's usually something worthy in there. With but an hour or so of weekly access to the net, he only scans and seldom comments on what's going on...

Rock's funny - very funny when he cares to be. Chappelle has a depth of understanding about humor that ranks with Chaplin, the Marxes, Allen, Mostel, Cosby, Martin & several Brookses. More than any hope i have for entertainment - even SNL being vital & hilarious again - i hope Dave...

Surprised that Stunt Man & Cell Block Tango lasted as long as they did, but gobsmacked that the picture Brits would probably vote as their most self-identifying film, Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner, went unselected.

A pre-movies Thomas Harris fan, I like that they're starting at the right part of the story, but I saw NBC's extended-look clip and it appeared to have the same lack of subtlety that has been the signature of the Peacock's downfall. Bad programming, too, putting it against the only other...

Grew up on Carson, and Letterman presides over my outlook like a patron saint, but I'm on board with this sentiment. The media day has been deconsructed down to a subatomic level by now, Stewart/Colbert funny the news better and even Ferguson has grooved after a truly adventurous beginning...

Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this.

Mike Caro, the 1st wildly popular poker theorist, made his bones 30some yrs ago with a 5-page article in the original Poker Player,magazine outlining how the big hand in CK could never have happened as played.

The thing Larry David realizes: Comedies of manners are the most telling, enduring and the most subvervisely funny of comic forms.The thing Larry David doesn't realize: His bull#### detector is indeed finely honed, but his responses always serve to weave new codes of bull#### far more...

Favorite common boys name: Charles (elegant without pretention in long form, and who dont like a guy named Charlie?!). Hate Chuck, though, but its the best of the JohnJamesRichardWilliamMichael generation of names and should make a comeback. Favorite uncommon boys name: Donovan (Irish without...

I'd wanted to honor my Aunt June - the only person who could get me to smile as a baby & a remarkable story: a bedroom recluse after being raped by a farmhand and then died in the same room of leukemia in her mid 20s after refusing treatment, she left behind poetry & paintings that still...

Presently watching "The Thing With Two Heads" on the new digital-broadcast network, ThisTV. Ray Milland has sown his own head next to Rosey Greer's atop the Ram great's body. Best....movie....ever....

I'd rather have you listen to that hilarious Time/Life series with all the guys in rhinestone suits & pompadours with names like Ferlin Husky to get your grounding in country music than ANYTHING from Nashville this century. The dumbed-down pop music & redneck catchphrases set to music...

- (woman finding Peter Otoole urinating in the women's bathroom) Hey, this is for ladies only!- So is this, marm, but i find i must run a little water through it from time to time. my favorite rainy day movie.

This is kinda like an old white guy commenting on his favorite rap song, probably a reverse barometer, but i hate action moves & loved Smokin' Aces. Shoot-em-ups (like heavy metal & any kind of fanaticism) seem insanely stupid to me, both predictable & nonsensical. As soon as the...
