It's OK not to like Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous. Really...it is OK. I'll still hang with you. Thanks, TomSpeed and K-man, I was beginning to think that I was the only one. I had no idea that Crowe was behind Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I thought it was an Amy Heckerling movie. Or did she just...

I have to be the dissenting opinion here and say that I'm not really a fan of Cameron Crowe. I hated Jerry Maguire, even though I love Bonnie Hunt (Tom Cruise was terrible. And why did Renee Zellweger's character love his? His character was an ass.) and Almost Famous was ok, except the kid couldn't...

More favortie movies that might explain why I'm so warped! Brazil -- It's been a few years since I've seen it, but I remember it dearly. The expansive DVD costs about $60-$80 I think. One day, I will snag it. Boogie Nights -- Great 70s music. Tin Cup, JFK, The Untouchables -- Kevin Costner's best mo...

It's another slow day today at work, so I probably can tackle this favorite movies post. I'm not really putting these in any particular order. The Godfather trilogy -- III gets a bum rap because of Sophia, F. C.'s daughter. The original Star Wars trilogy -- no movies have given me bigger thrills Sil...

I missed Conan last night. His timeslot is simply too late for me. I considered taping it, but I decided to stay up late. Unfortunately, some other show ran longer than usual. Leno was still interviewing someone well after 12:30 PM ET in my TV market. Ugh! I went to bed. Edit -- Claire's thinness --...

Picking a favorite scene for me is almost impossible. However, if I'm threatened with toothpicks under my fingers, confiscation of my cigarettes (I know, I know, smoking is bad for me), Rolling Rock (ditto), or MSCL DVDs, or some other diabolical means of torture, I would have to say that the final ...

I think I posted fairly soon after I happened upon this site. I don't have many inhibitions about writing in forums. And, I'm not that shy in person either. This is a great site, too, IMHO. I don't remember seeing MSCL on ABC. However, I watched quite a few episodes on MTV. The show speaks to me as ...

the thing that is the most upsetting about graham's almost affair with the tie-grabber is that he and angela have an unspoken misunderstanding about it. i do not think that graham has any idea how much angela has assumed and/or overheard. think about it: if graham knew what angela was SO mad at him...

I must confess that I didn't notice the prowling hog. Thanks, though. Now I have another reason to rewatch some episodes. As if, I really needed any.

The last scene of in "Dancing in the Dark" is probably the most troubling for me. Angela overhears Graham talking with the other woman (AKA the Tie-Grabber). Given the brief glimpses we have of Angela during and after the conversation, it is obvious that she knows and understands a great deal about ...

I have another take on Brian's inability to convincingly explain the point of the experiment: there is no point. The apparatus is simply a impressive phantom machine with a mouse involved. He doesn't expect to be questioned about it. Does this view make him seem too confident or arrogant? It's ironi...

One classic scene occurs when Brian is telling the science teacher about his extra credit project -- notice the expression of the boy who sits behind him. He looks like he is thinking, "Huh?" In many ways, the smart kid who couldn't talk his way out of a wet paper bag is a cliche. However, like Grah...

Halloween has never been my favorite episode...in fact, I'd say it was my least-favorite...but just having seen it again for the first time in a long time, I never noticed just how darn adorable Claire looked in that 1950s, cat eyeglasses costume. But then again, I guess I do kind of have an eyegla...

In eighth grade, our French teacher had some sort of meltdown, and we were left without a French teacher for about three months. We had a parade of substitute teachers, none of whom spoke French. We were literally on chapter 3 for months - the vocabulary words were all the places around town, and e...

Another question: at the beginning of the episode Angela is watching a film about the solar system, which strikes me as a science class kind of thing. Then we see her in bio dissecting a pig's heart. Now maybe this was just my anal retentive high school, but usually we did a whole unit on one thing...
