This makes my entertainment center look extremely cool and sophisticated and not nerdy and crammed with dork gear.

My favorite Mellon Collie track is "Muzzle" and my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song is "Muzzle", thank you for asking, Stereogum.

The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’ hit US record stores 30 years ago today. 💿💿

What’s your favorite track?

[STAND BY ME] And maybe you wonder how moviemakers who had the spirit to stage this stupendous gross-out could have made such a vain, effete, self-coddling movie. (1986)

Neil's right; if the Hughes legacy been flattened into "wholesomeness," I assume the cause is his later family/kiddie comedies. The positive reputation of Hughes' teen film cycle — rowdy comedies and sensitive romances alike — was that they spoke to adolescents with a sympathy uncommon at the time.

Neil Sarver @bleedingtree.bsky.social · 19d

As a Gen Xer, I feel like the John Hughes movies were sold as National Lampoon Lite rather than wholesome at the time. Too many people didn't remember them quite that way when they passed them down, so that got lost.

Don't Do What Astro Does!: Never press your thumbs into the front of your partner's throat the way Astro is illustrating; your aim is to apply pressure to the carotid artery on the sides of the neck, not crush their trachea.

The wait for The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic was totally worth it.

Most of your Major Postwar Euro Film Authors (Pasolini, Antonioni, French Guys etc) suffering precipitous S&S drops, if that's a meaningful indicator.

Disappointing trends in declining popular interest: Children of Paradise, Chaplin, Ford, Bergman, golden age musicals & Westerns.

throwing this prompt from Twitter in here. what examples you got?

tweet by @Caol_MacCormaic that reads, uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)

Ken Russell seems almost cursed by his subjects; he seems to want something from them, but each time he gets close to them he dances away. His movies are charged with sex, but it's androgynous sex, and sterile. (1972)

This is not, in fact, the first-ever novel-length Rocky Horror comic. The film was adapted in 1990 over three issues written and drawn by Kevin VanHook, published by Caliber Comics.

Surely 2-4 cast and crew members were made to cry on set due to this error.

Angel s5e12 “You’re Welcome”, Spike plays Donkey Kong as physical therapy for his reattached hands (cut off in “Damage”), and we hear accurate sound effects, but he’s clearly playing on Xbox, which never had a DK port, so Wolfram and Hart must have provided some kind of interdimensional console.

Ranking The Long Walk at 14 of 72 Stephen King adaptations + ancillaries I’ve seen (that’s between The Stand ‘94 & Pet Sematary ‘89). Remarkable it exists at all, but nagging feelings that minus digital blood & if the characterization of McVries & ending were book-accurate it’d jump a few places.
