I'll probably get s**t for this but Steve Perry, former vocalist of Journey. I honestly don't see why people love his vocals, I just find them grating. This is not me being a metal head either, I do listen to other music genres as well. I just cannot stand his vocals.

Can't imagine anyone would give you s**t for that. Never understood Journey's appeal.

Jessica Alba looked really good in Idle Hands

she was 17, a***ole

😂
Though, I'd say I'm in the clear here? She's older than me and I had a bit of a crush on her there and Dark Angel

FLAMING EARS (1992): Explores the lives of three women in a post-apocalyptic future. With no discernible plot but lots of stop-motion and an exploding armadillo, it's tedious and memorable at the same time; exactly what you would hope for from an Austrian post-apocalyptic lesbian punk surrealist experiment shot on Super 8. I originally watched this soon after it came out, didn't like it, and never forgot it. 3/5.

Belgian here, so we are quite fiercely protective of our beers, chocolates and fries. We sort of claimed the waffle. There are many varieties of waffle in North West Europe generally, and what became known as the Belgian Waffle is a kind of Brussels waffle that was marketed as Belgian in the US. It exists here, but it is just one variety and good luck ordering one in Liège. (I prefer the Liège variety myself)

We share a bit of the asparagus madness with Germany, and you have the local staples like moules frites, carbonades à la flamande, chicons au gratin (the French call these endives, but what do they know) and vol au vent.

I've had vol au vent (in Cape Town, South Africa!) But what I think you Belgians should be proudest of is your beer. Duvel may be my favorite beer of all time, but I've never had a Belgian beer that disappointed.

I mean I was at least concerned at the end of S4... and those early S5 episodes w/ little or no Max were unfortunate. I get it narratively but it's sub-optimal to bench your strongest teen actor. 

I wouldn't totally mind a spin-off movie or something where Hopper investigates the Montauk Project.

feel like maybe Tobe Hooper fits into the overrated category... without TCM what would he be? and apparently most of that movie's good stuff was down to another guy on the production dept?

Wes Craven as well, for me. None of his stuff apart from LAST HOUSE... does anything for me (well HILLS HAVE EYES 2 is so bad it's good, I'll give him that!)... I guess this may be an unpopular opinion tho, as NIGHTMARE and SCREAM have legions of fans who will point out those movies are legit groundbreaking / quality
