Blame Renny Harlin for putting him in Ford Fairlane. I remember him being pretty good in Ace Ventura the following year... -

Oh, I dunno. Get me some unleavened bread and some altar wine and I'd consider it. -

Yeah, I think so. It certainly wasn't captain eyepatch or the teacher. Must be! -

VERY IMPORTANT POST. Have you ever hoped to consider what the quotations from Surf Ninjas would appear as if they were attributed to Sylvia Plath? Wonder no more, friends. http://sylviaplathsurfninjas.tumblr.com/ -

I YouTubed it the same as you, I'll have you know. What was the quote you wanted to use? Maybe we can reconstruct it, hive-mind style! -

You didn't dream it. Tone Loc falls harder than his record sales in 1991 (kazing) and little brother jumps on the back like he's all, ETA: but no, for real, Tone Loc should straight up have been impaled on some kind of jungle undergrowth. That was a Goonies-smooth ride through uncleared bush. -

Hey! I support art! No matter how shitty that art is! And I was lured by Scott and Scott and all their talk of Bonobos, Thedge, Larry Mullen Senior's Son and Adam Claytwothousandpounds. -

Guys. While I was writing my post over on Surf Ninjas and searching for sweet gifs to burn Cameron H. with, a song played all the way through on my iTunes, and I didn't get around to skipping it, so it just went all the way through. Now I've just checked and it was the love theme from Spider-Man: Turn off the dark. I feel dirty. -

Also: Cameron H? You're letting the team down with your forum signature game, bro. The ep has been out for half a day already. -

I'm a little taken aback that so many posters turned the movie off 15 minutes from the end. Why slog through so much dreck to miss what was bound to be some kind of ninja-style payoff? On top of the giant flight of stairs (how MANY TIMES could that guy have stuck a leg out to stop falling on step, I don't know, FOUR?), you missed out on this, which genuinely had me throw something at the television for the first time since 'Dreamcatcher'. -

Yes! Directed by Des McAnuff, Canadian asshat. He adapted it from the concept album, so clearly Ted performed it in concert back in the day. (I dramaturged a production with Des years ago. He's a character, alright.) -

Ah, page 17 of the secret How to Be An Awesome Dad handbook. Where would we be without our ability to annoy our wives and mortify our children all at once? -
BINGE - Listening to all HDTGM episodes from Day 1

Best of luck with your listening binge, but more importantly, best of luck with your dissertation. It's hard to believe now, but one day you'll miss writing it! Good luck! -

I think Cam was making a joke. Either that, or this is the WORST STUTTER EVER. https://www.stlyrics...etersdenial.htm Mary wonders the same thing as us: "I wonder how he knew." -

As I've pointed out in an earlier thread, THIS Peter also had a fluffer. -

I think, 100%, the 'Superstar' side of this is directed way more towards the stage play. The casting of Ted Neely in this (sad wonky eyes) and the on-location shooting in Israel take away the 'Superstar'-ish elements of the stage production, but every time I've seen this, it's been all about lights, and Jesus as a rock star. We all agree that Judas is the biggest rock star in this musical, but without any doubt it's supposed to suggest that Jesus is Mick Jagger and Judas is Brian Jones - who was the central focus of the Stones in their inception before Mick showed he was a far bigger star, leaving Brian to sulk and wallow and eventually drown. NOTE: I am not suggesting that the Rolling Stones are an apt parallel or that ALW was writing about them, it was more just the fact that the biggest 'star' is not always the most talented. Anyway. The confines of a stage space, and the audience/performer divide, mean that moments like 'Hosanna' and 'Superstar' are kickass audience-mover pieces. The big BLEE-BLEE-BLEE, BLEE-BLEE-BLEE at the top of Superstar always raises the hairs on the back of my neck but only in relation to remembering seeing that resurrection moment after the crucifixion, where Jesus comes off the cross and Judas comes back and we get that awesome closing number. In the stage production, you are left with zero doubt that Jesus is a fuckin' superstar. The movie? Not so much. -

It's true though, "Peter will deny me, in just a few hours/ Three times will deny me, and that's not all I see/One of you here dining, will leave to betray me"... I always liked the moment that suggests that Judas might not fully betray him unless Jesus told him to go do it, and that Jesus condemns himself by pointing out that Judas should probably go leave and see his pharisee buddies. The 'three times will deny me' thing, where Peter has his 'I don't know him OH SHIT THAT WAS THREE TIMES LIKE HE SAID' feels like a rare nod to Jesus and his foresight. How did he know Peter would deny him three times? Was there a prophecy/vision? -
