A_Panda, you're clearly not a Gen X'er, or the parent of one. "Easy Reader" was a character on the popular 1970s PBS show, "Electric Company". Bill Cosby and Rita Moreno were the original headliners, but at lot of us remember Morgan Freeman/Easy Reader more than Cosby and Moreno.… Read More

Here's my tale: we had a roof in our apartment that leaked during a very wet winter. A leak developed in the roof, in the dining area. We reported it immediately. No response. A few more leaks developed in the same location. We reported it, again and again, each time. Still no response.… Read More

The scene in "The Sixth Sense" where Cole finally tells his mother his secret is one of the biggest tear-jerker scenes in films. Toni Collette deserved her Oscar nom for this role (and I think she should've won, not Angelina Jolie). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_2hmgezSME

UCLA has subbed for quite a few real or fictional colleges in movies and TV shows. "Legally Blonde", "The Sure Thing", "Angels and Demons", "Erin Brockovich", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "The Nutty Professor," etc., etc.

Yep. Pinky Lee was the Pee Wee Herman of the 1950s. It was intended as an insult to Kenickie.

Sorry. The only good thing about "Grease 2" was Michelle Pfeiffer. "Grease 2" isn't the worst sequel of all time, but there's no way it's better than the original.

"Don't Answer Me", by the Alan Parsons Project. The song is good, but the music video was a lot of fun. Noirish cartoon with a tried-and-true plot that didn't really tie in with the lyrics, but that I felt was better than the song itself. It was in constant play on MTV when it first… Read More

I initially thought Tom Cruise was totally miscast, but changed my mind after the movie came out. He did very well as Lestat. Dunst was fantastic as Claudia. Unlike many, I liked Brad Pitt as Louis. I wasn't so much "mad" at the casting of Banderas as Armand as disappointed. I always… Read More

"Chinatown" One of the best movies from start to finish, and a final scene/final line of dialogue that has been repeated to death just about everywhere.
