When the crowd began singing carols I almost threw up in my mouth.
I just saw it last night. The low-budget aspect of it was most apparent; the cheap looking sets for the faux outdoor shots had me actually annoyed. I wasn't sorry I watched it though, as it was a decent drama/noir.
It was and probably still is a deliberately nebulous term so as to give high-handed parents maximum use of it, and in so doing, define it as broadly or narrowly as they please. :)

But I'll give you a B+ for creativity.
The mother ( Marty's ) was too much for Hollywood. What a manipulative schemer. She pesters/nags him incessantly about getting married, push push pushes him to get himself out there. Then her son meets a nice woman and they really hit it off, so what does she do?
The reality of "losing" Marty ( rather than "gaining" a daughter ) freaks her out and she's out to sabotage the budding relationship. Pulling manufactured excuse after excuse out of her benighted head ( as well as lifting the nonsense one form her sister, word for word ). College girl. She's not Italian. She's not from the neighborhood. If it weren't any of those, she'd pull others out of her ass.
Alright then, scratch the Ochmoneks. ( of course, a jury may told to disregard what it's already heard, but they can't unhear it. )

I see...I guess, though I just can't wrap my mind around players trying <i>less</i> hard to win just because it's a non-playoff game.

I don't really understand that. Never could. It reminds me of the people who say they don't like football but they will watch the superbowl, or in the case of baseball, the world series. Seems to be more of a case of jumping on the hype bandwagon. I mean, is the actual gameplay of a sport that radically different during a playoff game as compared to the games leading up to it?
Yes, agreed.
Yes. I learned how at about age 10 and can manage quite well with them. Was taught to me by an Irish woman!
in the early 2000s. There were some conspiracy theorists who claimed there was going to be a merging of all North American countries.
My guess is they cooked this up not long after the formation of the EU.
I remember some from some CT people:
The whole "one world government" scare.
The replacement of the dollar with the 'Amero', a merged currency of US and Mexico
'Van Halen'
'Too Fast for Love' Motley Crue
Wholeheartedly agree on The Ramones, The Cars, GNR.
'Pearl Harbor'? 'Titanic'?
I liked 'Twisted Sister' ( more ) when they were still a club band. Their own stuff was raw and hard hitting, plus the covers they did of other band's music were really good too. The only thing on their recording catalogue then was a demo-ish LP.
"<i>Def Leppard became a pop band after Hysteria.</i>".
To my ears, Def Leppard became a pop band after 'On Through the Night'.
Borat: I couldn't stand it
The Irishman: Began watching it but didn't have the time and so I turned it off after about 30 minutes. I want to continue but it's been so long I'd have to begin anew for continuity's sake. Because it's got a running time of a half a decade, I'll likely have to wait till I retire in order to have the free time.
Not a fan of any spectator sports at all, but way back when I was in my early-mid teens I liked baseball and hockey, though I wasn't a rabid fan.
It is a hockey thing, but really, what with the ravenous appetite of the sports 24/7/365 infotainment machine, any "big thing du jour" will do. All they do is prime the pump to create a manufactured buzz "that everybody's talking about", then spew out the usual glurge-worthy hype as though they're just reporting on "what everybody's talking about". It's all BS.
Yes each sport has their die-hard fans that have/will follow, but I've seen so many people blab on and on about some big event solely because it's a current "news" item, even though they never follow said sport, much less have a background in it.
"March Madness", The Kentucky Derby, the Americas Cup.... 360 days a year these dolts know/care f*ck all about college basketball, horse racing, sailing, unless the boob tube tells them to care during a current news cycle.
Full disclosure: I am righteously cynical as hell.
