My friends who were actually there reported it was more of an afternoon shoot, but the Dunkin’s where it was filmed is in a really high traffic area. It’s never really slow there. In fact, there are, I think, 2 other shops in less than a mile radius of the store where this was filmed. Medford is peak Dunkin’s country,…

Regarding pushing work overseas, if VFX is unionized under IATSE wouldn’t there be solidarity between the other IATSE members (most of the behind the scenes employees) and VFX? Basically, if you don’t use IATSE VFX talent you don’t get IATSE on-set talent.

They also exist to steer unsuspecting young women into adoption arrangements. There’s some serious ethical and legal issues with these outfits.

I haven’t thought of Judy Tenuta in YEARS, but I watched that youtube clip and I knew it by heart, every beat. I taught my campers the John Paul the Pope song when I was an (admittedly inappropriate) camp counselor. That woman was fucking funny and apparently, when the alzheimers takes me, that stand-up will be one of…

I am 100% of that time period, and no. No one had that hair in the mid 80s in high school. Not even the dorkiest dork in my 1989 yearbook had hair like that. My brother, in 1977, when he was 4, and our mom sold tupperware and used a bowl to trim his bangs, had that hair. The Duffers are off by about a decade.

Could your sister’s reaction be a form of trypophobia? If so, you might want to turn down the sibling torture a notch.

I was a super fan on Moonlighting when I was a teen. I taped the show on VCR (I’m old) and watched and rewatched episodes until I knew them by heart (I’m also a little on the spectrum.) Those scripts were THICK, like maybe not Gilmore Girls thick, but damned close. Lines on top of lines, perfectly timed, like His Girl…

I’m a big fan of pocket sand, easier to carry.

at least they’re acknowledging that his whole act was simply bringing what Black artists had been doing for decades to a young white audience.

Tom Hanks is in a fat suit, also.

mofongo.

Both? Both is good.

We only call em “Karens” because it’s impolite to say “cunt” in mixed company.

I haven’t seen any sitcom scene previews that would date past mid-80s/early 90s. I know they use the living room from Family Ties at one point and Elizabeth Olsen admitted there is a tiny Full House Easter Egg.

When Pixar make Inside Out they customized the broccoli scene for different markets. In Japan, Riley hated green peppers. They also swapped out hockey for soccer in some countries. Dreamworks/Pearl easily could have had a version of that map for different countries—if they wanted to.

You know, I really feel like he and Rachel Green would have made a cute couple.

Marvel also has a thing for talent who are noted team players. That’s why we have Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk instead of Edward Norton/Don Cheadle instead of Terrance Howard as War Machine. In order for the MCU to make 22 movies that have interconnected stories and characters you need actors who understand that they…

This is going to date me, but that key art looks like “Cagney and Lacey: Space Cops.”

It’s Spielbergian, yes, but JP is 1993 and does not conform to the 80s Easter Egg list we are compiling here. (also see El’s bright red raincoat/Schindlers List)

I don’t think she would risk her financial security for the independence. She’s realistic about what leaving Mr. Lump Wheeler would mean to her and her kids.
