Ninety minutes of being buried alive with Ryan Reynolds: Didn't we all suffer that in The Proposal? Look, Reynolds give it his all as an American truck driver in Baghdad taken hostage in a coffin to pay for our capitalist sins. But this is gimmick cinema. And it burned me that he got cellphone service in a coffin when mine fades in fresh air.

“Everyday People”

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
