When I'm feeling Angry and Frustrated "Bodies" by Drowning Pool at loud volume can be a stress reducer

Keaton won a Golden Globe and Critic's Choice and was nominated for an academy award as best actor only a few years ago...as well as playing a damn good Vulture recently.  He's doing just fine IMO.

I remember when they said Michael Keaton wouldn’t make a good Batman. I’ll give him a chance.

That's a pretty strong statement, considering Val Kilmer and George Clooney are also in this conversation.

The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.

"The secret to Fleetwood Mac's 'sound' is that there are three leads who think they're in an art-rock band and a drummer who thinks he's in Led Zeppelin."

"Bacon Pancakes! Makin' Bacon Pancakes! Take some bacon and I'll put it in a pancake!
Bacon Pancakes, that's what it's gonna make -- BACON PANCAAAAKE!"

Blackadder Goes Forth (1989)
 
The four seasons of Blackadder are all very funny, but this final installment deserves special attention. Set on the Western Front in 1917, it tells the story of an infantry officer who is cursed to be the only sane man in the whole friggin' world. Unlike almost everyone around him, Captain Blackadder does not want to die. He sees the war as pointless, the cause he is fighting for vacuous, and his superiors utterly mad. Rowan Atkinson's comic gift is on full display, ut there is a sort of tragic grade to Blackadder. remarkably, in the final episode, when his efforts to avoid the "big push" fail, Blackadder does his "duty" in a beautifully tragic sequence that shows that, despite his efforts to survive the war, he is no coward. He knows the charge is suicide, yet goes anyway. Whether it is a moment of redemption or supreme folly is left to the viewer to decide.

Change all the Gremlins to Ernest Saves Christmas....

House of the Rising Sun is also interchangeable with both (and switching Amazing Grace with HotRS and vice versa both work surprisingly well). Much of Emily Dickinson's poetry is the right meter that it can be sung to Gilligans Island as well.

Also the "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing/Buy The World a Coke" song fits ED's poetry meter too.

This seems the appropriate place to remind everyone that you can sing the words to the Gilligan's Island song to the melody for Amazing Grace and vice versa.

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake (2010-2019)
 
It's easy to dismiss this show because of its singular art style (with arms working in weird ways), but this animated series produced for Cartoon Network broke ground in numerous ways and easily transcended the notion of what a comedy adventure cartoon should be.  It chronicles the adventures of the last surviving human in the psychedelic wonderland that has followed a nuclear war in the distant past. It is funny and weird, but also sad and frequently moving. It even succeeds in making a creepy, delusional bad guy (who engages in some truly repulsive behavior) into one of the most tragic figures in the history of American animated television; and he is just one of many great characters in the series.

I'm at the park often enough she knows me by sight and voice. Somedays we play tag, she'll chase me to one end, then I'll spin around she rears back and runs away. Other days she doesn't like eye contact because she wants to stalk. I use selfie mode on my phone to watch her try to be sneaky. 
I haven't been able to get a full pounce on video yet.
