Hello all! Can't figure out if the anti-request is really for stuff we can't stand, or "something we don't want played" a la Ken... If it's the first, then Paul McCartney & Wings' "Bip Bop".
And seriously, Ken? "Warriors" holds a record for quality level shift between start and the rest of the movie? Oh come on! Not only is "Warriors" a fine movie, there are certainly plenty of movies with really promising starts that then descend into crap.

I once saw a guy in the street giving away flyers about a short film that was going to be exhibited for free. The flyer featured this cool black panther and it looked like I was going to see an independent thriller. The venue was the headquarter of Scientology and I ended up watching a 30 min advertorial. Obviously I stayed there just few months. We were only allowed to drink water, we didn't washed ourselves, etc. Thank Xenu I wasn't brainwashed.

On an unrelated note, I have all Tom Cruise films and hearted the song.

True story.

Hey fofo - Thanks for that translation of Hermanos Calatrava! Their lyrics are so much more political. I had no idea. Thanks for the bio too.
I fear posting my most hated song here on Ken's show. It's like falling for the "pull my finger" trick.

I was one of the major fixers of the embarrassingly sloppy junkheap that was the wiki Ebert article at the time of his death last week. Dude wrote well, and deserved a decent article. I'm expecting a check for my editing work later this month.

The hazy definition of "celebrity" means that celebrity deaths come in 259s, not threes. I mean, if you count everybody who ever appeared in a Bollywood film or did a guest spot on some bullshit detective show on TV. Where do you draw the line on who is a celebrity and who isn't? Who decides?
  10:55am Gretchen:

is he starting a medley of songs containing "sproing?"
