Yeah — Love this film (and that it lead to the even more satisfying FE2M); but some of the inaccuracies for the sake of drama bug me—the LEM “fight”, framing Swigert as a playboy and less-than-prepared, doofus Grumman guy, etc. And finally, Tom Hanks is playing Tom Hanks, with no attempt at portraying the actual…

Yeah, but he is Yankee Doodle Doctor.

transcribed, because I’m, that guy:

There’s a throwaway line and shot at the end showing how Akeem “lifted the curse” off her, which sorta made it *worse* because we’re somehow supposed to think he’s a great guy for doing that 30 years later, not, like, before he left for America the first time.

The Beatdown Biddies, ideally.

Great-uncle really (Sharon is Peggy’s great-niece), and that’s assuming the same timeline (which we shouldn’t), and well never mind.

Yup, the set dressers knew their stuff. I did like how the top of the boot screen said “**** BASIC V2 ****” without the “Commodore”, presumably for trademark reasons :)

After his turn in Dolemite, I’m so on board for the Snipesaissance.

This is a tint moment I really appreciated; when the SWORD Director asks Darcy, “are you recording this?” and she replies, “never stopped”, that’s an exchange lifted verbatim from Contact when Ellie’s team picks up the alien signal from Vega. 

So many great episodes and guests, but this number has always stuck with me.

How did Slugworth know which kids would get the golden tickets?

We can only hope.

While I loved FoA, I greatly admire the specificity of your dislikes.

They’re using Smaht Pahk.

No more horses, Diana. Maybe you didn’t hear about it, you’ve been away from Themyscira a long time. Your mother and the other one that looks like your mother didn’t go up there and tell you. They don’t ride horses anymore.

It’s a quote of her character Roman Nagel from Ocean’s 13.

I just need to know that this will continue to expand the TPCU (Trading Places Cinematic Universe). Perhaps a cameo from Louis Winthorpe III (or, more surreally, Billy Ray Valentine).

You’ve obviously never served time in a British boarding school.

Sounds like she’s gonna take the kids and go stay at her sisters.
