A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

DON'T TOUCH MY ELEVATOR! While at the lovely Peabody Hotel in Memphis yesterday afternoon, it was hot enough that I didn't want to go out or fight the foot traffic in the lobby before the duck parade, so I turned on Starz, where I caught much of 1999's Blast From The Past--the comedy about a kid born and raised in a bomb shelter by parents convinced that nuclear war destroyed the world who comes to "the surface" in search of supplies and a wife. What I'd forgotten was just how many H!ITG! types the film features. Leaving aside your principals (Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, and Sissy Spacek), there's brief turns in the movie from Dave Foley (as Silverstone's gay buddy), Joey Slotnick (as the leader of a cult that arises around the bomb shelter), and Nathan Fillion (as Silverstone's assholish ex-boyfriend). Priceless.
