One of my favorite talk-show moments ever was when Finney was promoting SHOOT THE MOON.

Yeah, I bet a shiny dime they wanted Connery.

It’s too bad it’s so obvious that the filmmakers wanted Connery for the role.

Give it a couple years. The whole thing is about age and perspective.

“What we need is a push.”

I miss Frakes, and his kindred spirit Ben Wyatt Fan-Fiction. Also whoever posted as JM Straczinski durng the Babylon 5 rewatches.

“I must return to this place again...”

I think you mean Shelley Duvall?

Still my favorite Coens film. It’s their rare picture where you don’t feel like a chump for empathizing with the characters. Hi’s final monologue always makes me tear up.

It is my lonely distinction to prefer DESTROYER. It’s just more fun.

I have no idea how many times I’ve watched it. Probably 4 times in 1982 alone. Even now, I run it at least twice a year and it continues to gain relevance as I age.

Yes, the joke is that backwards English sounds like Swedish. But the best part is that the great Peter Cushing, 71 at the time, plays the shopkeeper and he 100% commits to it.

So, the DEO has video of the camper van getting struck by the Gamma Lightning. First thing, how? Second thing, wouldn’t they try to trace the lightning to its origin?

In “The Marvelous Land of Oz,” the second book, the protagonist is a Munchkin boy named Tip who discovers that he is actually Ozma, transformed as a baby by the evil Mombi to hide her from her true family. Not sure if the ‘trans’ definition holds there or not.

Does Johnny Smith from The Dead Zone count?

But she’s a Vanderbilt!

To me, it isn’t that Snyder hates Superman, but that he’s terrified of Superman. In his mind there’s no rational response to the character’s existence beyond “What if he went crazy” or “Why should he care about us.” This is cynical and pessimistic and dismisses the whole POINT of Superman, which is that he was raised…

“This’ll be OK, it’s just the Krebs Cycle...”

I can imagine someone doing an epic take on The Carpenters’ “Goodbye To Love.”
