Building Them Up To Tear Them Down • MTV has compiled a memorial list entitled "Michael Jackson And 10 Classic Movie Moments That Would Not Exist Without Him". Sure. Although any list that includes "the Rush Hour series," Scary Movie 3, and 13 Going On 30 is using the term "Classic" very liberally, and also has a fucked up idea of how to memorialize someone.

The Terminator trudged along the wooded path towards the lake, his gun dangling by his side, the taunts still ringing in his hypersensitive bionic ears. He stared at the ground as he walked, and didn't even bother scanning anything with...

Do you ever eat foods that you know you don't like, just to remind yourself why you don't like them? I think that's a good thing to do sometimes! The worst case scenario is that you might momentarily have a...

Last weekend, something strange happened. Some of the Videogum Monsters created their own secret, password-protected chat room. In 2009! Incredible! I suppose every monster has his cave, or whatever. As it turned out, though, we already had a Videogum Chat...

The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...

I went to see Where the Wild Things Are on Saturday, but it was sold out. Ay-ay-ay. That was a surprise! I mean, anticipation for this movie seemed pretty high, but anticipation for lots of movies seems high, especially when...

Ah, nobody can forget the method acting of Mr. Corey Feldman in Dream A Little Dream 2 as he channeled Michael's dancing. I heard he slept in his bed for weeks to nail that scene.
Whammy! Thanks folks, you've been a terrific audience. Eat your heart out Leno.
Score = 4
I am ashamed to say I clicked that link for the sole purpose of seeing whether "Dream a Little Dream" was on it. You have not failed me, MTV.
Score = 1
This is Bad.
(I'll show myself out)
Score = 4
I've had enough MTV, you can stop.
Score = 3
Yep, without Beat It, that Zoolander scene would have never happened. Visionary!
Score = 5
Yeah, I just love for the most part the scenes have a slight reference to Michael Jackson. Look out, an extra wore a jacket in a very similar fashion to MJ in Beverly Hills Cop--although I'm pretty sure the joke there is actually the absurdity of the fashion at the time, not on MJ.
Somebody's reaching for the stars over at MTV.
Score = 1
Correct. If Michael Jackson hadn't existed Marty McFly would have died in the Old West, taking a number of bullets to the feet and dying, since no one knew how to dodge bullets before moonwalking was invented.
Score = 10
Michael Jackson died?!?!?
Score = 1
Wow, that's just insulting.
Score = 2
Someone has to stick up for 13 Going On 30, which is a modern classic. (Also, everyone else having login problems as well, I feel your pain.)
Score = 7
They really included the MJ scene from Scary Movie 3 on this list? Fuck you too, MTV.
Score = 4
