"He’d recently won a Tony for playing the lead in the musical The Rothschilds"

The last movie I saw about nuns was "The Magdalene Sisters" — IMHO the vocation was overdue for an upbeat movie.

Al Franken once talked about being backstage at the Emmys the year Holocaust swept the awards — he recalled seeing the 20 or so producers and directors raising their Emmy Awards triumphantly and yelling, "Holocaust! Woo-hoo, Holocaust! Awright, Holocaust!"

Back in the 1960s Peter Cook famously said, "The heyday of satire was Weimar Germany — and see how it prevented the rise of Adolf Hitler."

I was *so* hoping the games would be shirts vs. skins…

The women's championship game commits the Ebert Little Movie Glossary sin ("The Vin Scully Rule") of having the public-address announcer in the arena do actual play-by-play commentary. And the PA announcer has a Chicago/Wisconsin accent you could split diamonds against.

How could you film that scene today? Show him with his 64GB iPod?

To alcohol, the cause of — and solution to — all of life's problems!

Give her a break, her husband was killed!

*Most* of the "comic" episodes of The Twilight Zone were pretty lame — Rod Serling had a very heavy-handed sense of humor (an over-reliance on clever character names, for example)…

Frazetta was grateful for the professional opportunity with Li'l Abner, but apparently thought Al Capp was a real SOB.
