MST3K: Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas

Ah, Road House... 1980s cinematic coked-out absurdity at its peak. The movie that looked at Red Dawn and Top Gun before it and said, "You call that a stunning lack of self-awareness? Hold my beer and watch this ( Read more... )

No further power outages for anyone in my immediate circle, at least!

A list of things I'm annoyed about today:
