Eh, the Arya reveal worked for me, and the bit with the pie was a nice tie-in to the removed Manderly story from the books.

Thanks! Meanwhile, I found the clip:

"You sly dog… you got me monologueing!" is like the greatest line ever.

Am I remembering correctly that there's a bit in Radio Days where the announcer is talking about a baseball player who had a series of hunting accidents with increasingly absurd consequences, or was that a different Woody Allen movie?

To this point, I do remember an interview with Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich during the media hype before the original movie came out, and they essentially said, "We've seen a lot of movies and TV shows lately about aliens trying to conquer the earth in some clever, subtle way. In this movie, it's the exact opposite…

In a crowded theater in the summer of 1996, it worked.

For starters, "Crank 3-D: Chev In Space".

"Each death must look like an accident."

I can't watch any part of it without trying to imagine what insane nonsense was happening behind the scenes at that moment. I love every "Shatner-as-director" anecdote I've heard, and I need more of them.

"Videos must not include profanity, nudity, obscenity, pornography, depictions of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or any harmful or illegal activity, or any material that is offensive, fraudulent, defamatory, libelous, disparaging, sexually explicit, threatening, hateful, or any other inappropriate content."

Trek V is a complete shit show from start to finish. That said, "Jim… life is *not* a dream" is an amazingly perfect line delivered with amazingly perfect timing from Nimoy.

Nah, then it would have just been called "Magazine" or possibly "Magazine Magazine".

God yes… the scoring for the scene when they round the dark side of the moon (with vocal contributions by Annie Lennox) is also one of my all-time favorite bits of movie music.

And The Wire too… the big Punch to the Gut each season usually came in the second-to-last episode.

I'd probably agree if not for the one blowup inning Wake would inevitably have in nearly every start, when the knuckleball would suddenly stop dancing and he'd quickly give back 4 or 5 runs.

Seconded on the love for Tim Wakefield. He was always a favorite of mine. It was always great to go to Fenway and be the only one there wearing a Wake t-shirt in a sea of Manny and Papi shirts. Wright is a lot of fun to watch and seems a worthy successor.

Maybe Deconstructing Harry?

Is this one of those "it all rhymes" things?

It's true. If for no other reason, they're worth watching for Steve Buscemi's voice work as the Wolfman.

I remember when Scott Ian's beard was just a soul patch. Jesus, I feel old all of a sudden.
