I only wish they'd had the courage to go full on Knight's Tale with the music.

Well now I'm torn.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

Be that as it may, now that there's an all terrain Segway, I really want to see one with those giant Bigfoot tires.
Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

Who's even doing that, those Gulf of America crackpots?
Stop referring to DoD as the Dept of War. It has not been legislated. Don't recognize ill bs.

The Library of Alexandria of my youth, Channel 24, had an impressive assortment of Charles Bronson movies, occasionally airing them five nights in a row as Bronson Week, or as part of Dirty Deeds Week or Tough Guys Week.
Death Hunt seemed to be one of their favorites. I know it was one of mine.

I'd make him twelve feet tall so he could pick me up easier.
Well... probably not me, but you know, regular sized people.
Reading Frankenstein & reflecting that, were i to make a corpse-man i would make things easier for everyone by not making him eight foot tall

The real danger with these things is decapitation.

I've already been thinking about Kansas City Star all day. Now I'm dreaming of Peckinpah's King of Kansas City Cut.

If ever you want me to take an anti-Tarantino stance, lead with this. This is just preposterous. Quentin was talking out of his oddly shaped head when he uttered this nonsense.
Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didnt have Paul Dano in it

"it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Dano] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"

Well this is clearly a superior poster to whatever I've been looking at for the last forty odd years.

My mother and I had just walked into Walmart, back when that was just a regular store anchoring a strip mall, not a city block sized monstrosity. We'd just walked through the door when a voice came over the PA announcing that Desi Arnaz, TV's Ricky Ricardo, had died.

We used to be a country.
