Yeah, it's ultra-violent. And it stars Kevin Costner. But I have happy memories.

BETTER CALL SAUL
Back when I played electric guitar I couldn't do sweeps. So I watched this show (and listened to the themesong) instead.
"Why did God make snakes before lawyers? He needed the practice!"
"That's my motto: 'Justice Matters Most.'"

ALIENS
When I was in Winnipeg working at Palliser there was a guy in Shipping who saw this movie a bunch of times. I kinda get it. I remember seeing it in the balcony of the Met. And I saw it a bunch of times on the VCR. But that's about it, really.

FZRM!
When I was working at the Astral Photo in Winnipeg’s Eaton Place it was a privilege to behold a long-haired guy and his buddy play every single boom box we had in the store.
“Nice tape,” I whimpered. Even though it was a TDK cassette of Led Zeppelin 2, I could recognize it.
The long-haired (but muscular) kid whirled around. “Fucking Zeppelin rules, man!” And, Dear Reader, I have used those initials on CDs and playlists ever since.
