OTPFOTD: 12/17 - Jump the Shark Edition
So, my question to you is what are your favorite (?) jump the shark moments? I can think of a couple:
- The original "jump the shark" on "Happy Days" where Fonzie actually jumps a shark.
- Steve Urkel appears on the show "Step By Step" as, well, Steve Urkel.
- Jay Sherman ("The Critic") appearing on "The Simpsons".

It's supposed to hit pdx within the next two hours or so
and the ugly gray sky seems to confirm that theory.

Twenty degrees should equal snow.

It's snowing like a sonofabitch in the other Vancouver.
We’re had about 3 inches today, to add to the 4 inches we already had on the ground from Saturday, and it’s starting to look not at all like the west coast.

There are other glaring errors in the list.
Jim Martin’s solo on Epic is awesome. That’s not boring. That’s discretion.
And Steve Vai’s solo on Yankee Rose was one of his earlier pieces, and thus far less masturbatory than the entier rest of his body of work. That, and I think David Lee Roth’s solo career is terribly underrated.
Though, the list is absolutely right about Jay Jay French’s work on We’re Not Gonna take It. Seriously? The melody?
And Fear Is The Key might be the worst song Iron Maiden ever recorded. Janick was new; I don’t really blame him.

I suppose it depends what you think a solo is supposed to do.
In 1974 Deep Purple released a song canned Hold On that didn’t sound like anything Deep Purple had ever done before. It was pure white funk.
Their guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore, hated it. In fact, he doesn’t appear on any of the song except the solo. Apparently the band figured he’d like it if he got a solo in the song, so he laid down what would otherwise be a terrible solo (doesn’t suit the song, obvious missed notes, totally wrong tempo) – except, his solo does a brilliant job of making fun of the song. You hear that solo, and you know immediately that Ritchie hated the song and told you all about it in his guitar solo.

I have found that guitar magazines disregard any plaing style

I think nostalgia caused people to despise the new Indy movie more than they should have.
Indy 1-3 were all extremely campy adventure flicks. Indy 4 was the same but with less Nazis/biblical references and more communists/aliens.
by BrianL on Dec 17, 2008 9:42 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
That's it exactly
I generally try and go into movies with a clean slate for hype and whatnot. In the case of this movie, I tried not to compare it directly to the originals because of how much I love them. Instead, I viewed it as a standalone movie. This made me realize aside from the replacement of commies and aliens, it was the same damn formula.

That's what 24 did well at first though
it’s not about one single big boom and its avoidance – there’s twists and turns, and sometimes the big boom happened so early that the story took a whole different turn. It’s just that after Season 3 they stopped being original and really relied on tired tropes and plots.

The one thing that bugs me is, actually, Ben – I love his character, and his awesome evilness, but I can’t believe that after all this PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. It’s like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer has a card that says “DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT BART SAYS” – everyone on that island needs a card that says “DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT BEN SAYS BECAUSE HE’S YANKING YOUR CHAIN”.

It's not that he always lies.
It’s that he always gets what he wants. Sometimes what he wants screws you over. Sometimes it’s in your mutual interest to go along with him.
And that’s why people listen to him sometimes. I’d give specific examples, but I think I’m getting close to spoilers as it is.

The whole Christmas song thing made me wonder
what’s the most bizarre Christmas song you know of? I have a record by a band called Kay Martin & Her Bodyguards (link contains mildly NSFW album cover art), called I Know What He Wants For Christmas (But I Don’t Know How To Wrap It), which contains the song “I Want A Casting Couch For Christmas”, which is about….well, you know. It’s truly an epically weird slice of Christmas music – as is the rest of the album.

I hope its not like a Sierra one because then she might die
How about a Lucasarts game? This way she will not only be unable to die, but will have much more fun because of the constant humor

Okay, I can see that.
Their pitch seemed more tailored to ATV riders and off-road truck drivers, and I found that to be hilarious.

yeah, that is a bit odd.

Maybe it's like the old NES game Deja Vu.
Play slots in the basement and punch a bum in the face!

It'd be really spooky if they started playing "You're Gonna Miss Me" every time the doors opened.

I've always thought that if someone pranked me in that fashion that I'd punch them before I realized what was happening
which is funny because I love pranks.
