I'm hoping for Iron Giant….  though this week's Watch This has been chock full of great stuff, so I guess unless they do Pocahantas tomorrow, we're safe with whatever.

Wow.  How the holy fuck did I not know this existed?   I guess I could have heard about it and then forgotten, but jeez.
My kids would have loved this when they were younger. They'd love it now I guess, but getting them to, I don't know, come home from college and sit and watch it with me?

Doesn't matter as long as Anne Heche is in it too.

O'Neal, can we get a four-article director's cut of this Newswire? 

Jeez.  I clicked on that and I think the image burned its way onto my screen permanently.

…what if it's the movie of Toonces, the Cat Who Could Drive a Car????  Be just like Hollywood, to wild-feline it all up.

Damn it, HOW do I reply to MN Bska below?  Okay, I just say that's what I'm doing, I guess:

Walt seeing his behavior from another point of view, that's a great summation of well, many of Breaking Bad's characters' actions, not just Walter's.  it's structured like the best films noir, in that everyone's reactions are based on what they themselves know of the situation.. but not only do they not know the whole…

Not trying to argue, but there WERE complaints about Sanford and Son from the black community when it aired.  Redd Foxx was good at pointing out that he'd been "acting" that way for his whole career, and suddenly millions saw him doing i, he was making decent money, and NOW it was inappropriate…?

Damnit, I should have read further; I quoted this just now.  2 hours late….

It's been said before so why not again?  The Weirs are the best parents on tv.

Typo up there — you accidentally inserted the word "vaguely".

This movie frightened my then-5-year old daughter so much that she has never forgiven me.  We rented it, and she got through about 10 minutes before crying.
Turned it off and watched Little Mermaid or something again.

I'll probably see this, as I think cheetahs are really cool, and it seems to appear in at least two scenes.

The punctuation is not his fault, his shift key is broken.  He bought  his typewriter at the e e cummings estate sale.

Although "Precinct Diary" was eventually published (as "Blood on the Badge"), in the first seasons of Barney Miller, Detective Harris was an aspiring novelist.

Thanks for the link, Astrakhan!  I know I must have had that comic as a kid, but hadn't thought of it for years.

Because Tip O'Neill would never drink?

And years later it still didn't work - John Travolta and Sidney Poitier did a sort of alternate history movie wherein black and white roles were reversed.  The reason I say it didn't work is that I never saw it, and never met anyone who did.  I suppose I'm making assumptions based on… well.  Nothing really.
