xpost Wait, I thought you never saw "The Insider," you doofus.

Anyway, I always wondered what Mike Wallace thought of a characterization that simultaneously lionized him as a journalistic badass and a cynical, self-interested sell-out.

Oh, wow, William Finley. Outside of DePalma's work, that dude ate more scenery than any other actor in history on Tobe Hooper's "Eaten Alive."

Many apologies for the incorrect news about Dick Cheney. Of course it is Dick CLARK who just died. Sorry for dropping the ball on that.

lol, but also ;_; @ not true

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 20:50 (fourteen years ago)

I'm sure that, on balance, Clark contributed a lot to the history of pop. The one thing I always held against him was the way he emerged from the payola scandal of the early '60s untouched, while Alan Freed took the fall.
