I was always partial to Sad Sweetheart Of The Rodeo from their 2nd album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTnLVX689fE Their later material was much more mature and interesting, if a bit mellower. Pike St/Park Slope, Wine Women and Song, Cream and Bastards Rise...good stuff. Sadly the bass player died during Death Year 2016. He had also been The Stranger's art director.

DS9 ended well even if the last season was a different beast than the prior ones.

I just don't think Star Wars is as much of a big deal to kids these days, at least in terms of it consuming a large part of their attention and fan identity. It's just another source of content competing with everything else. When I was my son's age my life revolved around reenacting the Battle of Endor but for him he's got Mario, Toy Story, the Marvel universe, Minecraft, etc. on his mind. Even the kids who watched the Clone Wars cartoon in first run, arguably the most popular piece of the pie aside from the movies, are pushing college age now. The main trilogy movies still make bank but I think most people just go to see a movie because everyone else is, and they move on to the next one a week later. There's no ongoing intrigue or imagination being cultivated. Laterite fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Jul 15, 2019 |

get that OUT of my face posted:George Lopez seems like the kind of guy where you'd have to be a real piece of poo poo to be attacked by him. Sort of like how Andy Dick got his face smashed in by Jon Lovitz. George Lopez divorced his wife after she donated one of her kidneys to him. lol owned.

Stalker was based on a Strugatzky brothers novel from the '70s anyway. The Chernobyl disaster just happened to be a real life manifestation of the kind of disaster they knew the Soviet power structure was capable of conjuring and subsequently fumbling. By the way, reading anything from the Strugatzky brothers is highly recommended.

Dapper_Swindler posted:good points. i do think serling would have probably liked it, but he probably would have wanted it to do its own thing more. i think another knock against it is more that twilight zone wacky twists and such have become tropes in of themselves. so alot of the twists mostly end up "it was aliens" even if the theme/moral was great. Yeah, some of the best original TZ episodes have nothing to do with "twists" or malevolent aliens or whatever, just little slices of life, taking stock of the human condition through the lens of a different plane of existence.

Kim Justice posted:Logan has uniroinically mouthed off about not just doing MMA, but doing it and fighting Conor McGregor in the Octagon because he did wrestling in high school. The man may be ever so slightly delusional. Logan Paul could train sparring non-stop for a year and AB could do nothing until he put gloves on for the first time at the bout and still destroy Paul in the first minute.

Drawing a line from MST3K to Cinema Sins doesn't make much sense to me. If anything I'd say it more stems from Kevin Smith and/or Joss Whedon and the whole late 90s-early'00s "deconstruct everything with insider meta-jokes" media trends.
