What was really shocking was Jürgen saying he doesn’t like chocolate so he orders Black Forest Torte, which is chocolate cake. It makes no sense.

Philadelphia Story is at least critical of the upper classes, unlike High Society which removes all that for a ‘poor rich people having to economize to pay their taxes’ angle. I get angry just thinking of that scene.

Damn! I always get those two mixed up.

His Girl Friday definitely, and it’s one of my favorites. People Will Talk is an odd duck because it’s as much about him pursuing Ronald Coleman’s character’s friendship, for ulterior motives at first. Philadelphia Story is also an odd one in that until the very end it’s not clear either of them want the other back.…

I loved Bosom Buddies! There’s one joke that I will always remember, and think about probably too often. Probably because it was a complete non-sequitur and I’m a mythology nerd. They were going to lose their studio to the landlord. The man who was taking it over said, “We’re gonna get some girls, get some swans, and…

Oh man, most Sixties film is a really hard determination to make. But I would absolutely love watching the contenders to try to decide. I’m going to throw Casino Royale into the mix as well. I’m a big fan of the incomprehensible European films from the Sixties. So for me you can’t be the most Sixties if you don’t have…

I have to say, as a lover and collector of Sixties soundtracks, this is one of the best. When I was in high school the theme song was one of my go-to solos on free day in choir. Just love it. The film’s not bad, either.

I accidentally shot someone in the neck with a supposedly unloaded paintball gun, so I won’t even touch a real one. Had to repaint my sister’s living room, too. A much cheaper lesson than if it had been an actual gun.

What I mostly get at Costco are generic OTC pills and supplements, and pistachios. Their pistachios are a great price. When they have it, their dried fruit prices are mostly unbeatable, but they aren’t always in stock.

J’onn has been alive for centuries. He’s rich like all fictional vampires are rich, compound interest and long term investments. I have no excuses for the rest.

Picture of Dorian Gray was a perfect movie for The Shade. Victorian setting, featuring two of the more delightful amoral characters from golden age Hollywood. I can very much imagine The Shade loving George Sanders performance in it almost as much as I do.

Cindy is pretty good, but for me she is not worth losing The Shade. He is my all-time favorite CWDC antagonist, with Thawne/Welles in second place. What can I say, I like my villains tall, dark and arrogant.

I think Spooner and Astra recognized her from the hologram head on the deck. One of them said something about her smirk.

Um, gunsel doesn’t mean what you think it means. While I appreciate you making the same mistake the Hayes office did, I feel the need to point out that a gunsel is a rent boy (or whatever the current term is), not a hired gun.

My birthday dinner was usually either ribs or ravioli, and cherry pie with pistachio ice cream for dessert. I never really had my mom teach me how to make her ribs, and my one attempt at her barbecue sauce so far was not accurate. But I still try to make or buy cherry pie and pistachio ice cream for my birthday.

I think neither Faye nor Spike seem, what’s the word, lackadaisical, disinterested, lack of affect enough. None of those are quite right. They just seem more engaged and invested in what’s happening than they usually seem on the surface. Maybe detached is what I’m going for. Anyway, that’s my inarticulate attempt to…

I did and still am. I also spent most of my time during my degree using/abusing the free Dialog (timed access database searching) access for students to become an expert user of a product I have never once used in my career.

For a second I misread that as “wouldn’t want to play a bald guy” and I was very confused.

Just out of curiousity, why TF are you greyed on your own article? Aside from Kinja just being trash, that is.

My favorite celebrity band name ever was Bruno Gerussi’s Gold Medallion. I assume they got a cease and desist letter like Dale Earnhardt JR JR, because it didn’t last too long. Speaking of which, I think it’s odd that you mention the change to JR JR, but not the reason.
