I can still recall the voice: "Darby O'Gill! Step in!"

Good, I can now publicly admit to not being the only one. That might be the scariest scene the studio ever put together under old Walt's helm. Even worse than Lampwick transforming into a donkey.

I don't remember anything particularly offensive in that film. Yes, they're Irish and speak with accents. Yes, there's leprechauns. Yes, Darby gets a little tipsy in one scene. I don't recall anything even as offensive as the Notre Dame mascot.

You beat me to that suggestion.

So basically… comedy has only existed for less than a 100 years, only in one language and in one country. Got it. 'Merica!

Spend 5 seconds outside the US, and you learn that, in fact despite what TV tells you, there are other cultures out there.

Yup, you still hear his songs sometimes on oldies stations in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Was that Jerry Colonna leading the cavalry? Those eyes are unmistakable.

That picture above has me intrigued because he looks exactly like I pictured Pierre when reading the book. That sort of awkward grin he's sporting really nails the character.

Congratulations for recapitulating something you heard on a sitcom.

Don't get me wrong, the 1972 version had me captivated (Anthony Hopkins absolutely knocks it out of the park in every scene)… but I still thought it looked really cheap. It was almost like the soldiers were shouting "bang, bang" during the battles in lieu of pyrotechnics.

If you think Christian music can't possibly be any good, I submit for your evaluation JS Bach, Händel, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven, all of whom wrote some pretty awesome religious music.

To me, the best screen Dracula, by far, is Christopher Lee in the Horror of Dracula. No hidden inner conflict, just a mean bad-ass doing what he likes best.

Played it several years after it came out on what had to be one of the last working machines in existence (Fun City arcade, Ocean City NJ). By that time, the cost was down to a quarter. And dear God, am I the only one who found this game next to impossible?

Just rewatched that seen again on Youtube. Dear God, I get a tingle down my spine everytime.

I think you're remembering things wrong. I don't remember exactly when the merchandise tie-ins began, but the flood started within at least the first few months after the original was released. My sister cleaned out my mom's house recently, and among other things, she found a Burger King tie-in commemorative glass,…

True story. I was visiting Dresden and there's a large palace outside the city that I wanted to see (Schloss Moritzburg, by name). I drove there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in February, and was surprised by the rather large crowd. As I stood in line waiting to buy my entrance ticket, I couldn't help notice that…

When my sister cleaned out my mom's house a few years back, she found some left-over Star Wars-themed birthday paper plates and the last unbroken drinking glass in a long-forgotten Burger King tie-in promotion. Your point is dead-on accurate.

I was introduced to Jabba via the Star Wars line of cookies, although it's possible the movie was released first. Our family saw Return of the Jedi late in it's initial run.

It's based on the same concept as an EEG, a technology that's been around since the 1930s. No, it's not reading your mind, but it does respond to regional changes in your brain waves. Some far-more precise products exist to help people with disabilities. When Stephen Hawking loses control of his last voluntary…
