UHF is the only movie that wouldn’t be better with Weird Al as the lead, because it’s already there.

Half-Life 3.

Nowadays I’m married, and cuddling my wife and listening to her breathing are generally all the help I need to drift to sleep, but back when I was living alone I’d throw on either a playlist of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes (comforting old ones I’d seen a zillion times and could zone out to) or the eclectic online music station Radio Paradise.

I’ve always been pretty good at lucid dreaming, and in those days having some dream scenario randomly interrupted by the soothing voice of Radio Paradise owner Bill Goldsmith doing a song intro or the wisecracks of MST’s Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot would help clue me in that I was dreaming.

I’m pretty sure I told my first poor-taste September 11, 2001 joke no later than September 12, 2001. (It was in the company of someone with a similar graveyard-humor streak to mine, with whom I was huddling down and freaking out and who appreciated the joke in the spirit in which it was offered.)

There are still appropriate crisis hotlines all over the world.

Most of the fossils in the schools I went to were in administration.

I’ve always had a very active sense of humor, and am usually able to find something funny about virtually anything.

I’m not suggesting going around giggling inappropriately at whatever happens to be in front of you like the Joaquin Phoenix Joker, but I know being able to find something that amuses me about even the darkest, most difficult stuff in life has been of immense help to me personally.

It’s a common or garden variety windowsill, related to many different types of windowsills you might see around your neighborhood most times of the year.

I also used to be a pretty enthusiastic Skullcandy user, but agree that in recent years they’ve pretty much downgraded to the reliability level of the cheapest no-name garbage you’d find at a gas station counter hanging between the cardboard air fresheners and unregulated sex pills.

Thirded. I’m an audio engineer and producer and will spend actual money on decent wired headphones for home or work, but out in the world I’m a strict proponent of using earbuds that don’t cost enough to worry about losing or breaking.

The plot of Yellow Submarine is basically “the Beatles have a contractual obligation to make a movie but they can’t be bothered, so let’s get impressionists to voice cartoon Beatles and draw a bunch of drug-addled fuckery to illustrate some of their songs for an hour and a half.”

In execution, it’s a bizarrely compelling and beautiful piece of work that I enjoy a great deal despite not being into either the Beatles or drugs.

“Anything for a weird life.”

Said by Zaphod Beeblebrox in the original radio version of The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in response to being led by another character into the zany peril of the moment.

There’s a version of that one I like which goes something like, “your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.”

Consider that the publishers of those videos have a vested interest in showing you the ones that make the suspects look the most stupid. The cops get to click delete on the ones showing them harassing innocent people and/or otherwise looking foolish themselves.

Station Deep Space Nine has thrusters to move around with, which a moon wouldn’t have. It’s also set up to directly dock in space with and service ships and their crews more efficiently than an outpost on land would.

A fan wiki entry suggests the name for that fictional scientist may have been chosen for its closeness to “Einstein.” One can hope.

I remember my family going to that one expecting a silly “haha they’re trapped in old TV where stuff is old-timey” thing and unexpectedly getting something really genuinely special.

The one exception being his horror masterpiece The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders.

Kevin Smith is great at talking about his favorite subject, which is Kevin Smith movies.
