One More Thing: Who is Your 70s Crush?
Yesterday's installment brought forth so much thrillingly lovely eye-candy that I'm sticking with the theme today. Only difference is that we'll be delving even further back into our collective crush unconsciousness. Crush-onciousness? Whatev. I'll start it off with my choice for most amazingly glorious 1970s heartbreaker. More »

One More Thing: Who is Your 80s Crush?
Who made your heart and knees go all to jittery goo the quickest in the movies and TV shows of the wonderful 1980s? My personal fave has never—as far as I know—been filmed in the delightful leg-warmers of the period, so that field is wide open. And, yes, boy-crushes are welcome. More »

One More Thing: The Greatest Movie Speeches of All Time
Every now and then a movie offers up a few lines of dialogue that sneaks its way past our snarky, cynical waking minds and inserts itself right into our mushy little hearts. It happens rarely, but when it does, our eyes get all stupid and crinkly and our faces contort and the skin on our necks gets all hot. When has that happened to you? My choice after the jump. More »

One More Thing
I love watching old TV commercials because they remind me of Saturday mornings and of a civilized age when you had four channels and when the cartoons told you they'd be right back after these messages, you believed them and you watched the messages because they were fun and if you watched them the cartoons really would be right back and you'd be so happy to see them! So... Ten minutes of 80s commercials after the jump. More »

Those communist-era magazines seem so quaint, if one forgets the dull horror of the system that produced them. Russia's Soviet Museum carries an excellent online collection of the usual propaganda posters and photographs—and these images of Soviet Union magazine, in which the strategic rockets are daintier than the women's fashion.

The Best of Chris Elliot
Back when David Letterman was hosting Late Night, I looked forward to nothing so much as an appearance by superstar Chris Elliot. For instance, his stint as "Chris Elliot Jr." during which he would deliver a spot-on Morton Downey Jr. impression, with Dave standing in for whatever pablum-puking liberal was that night's foil. Here Chris goes after the fat cats behind 7-11. More »
