I have a little figure of Sam the Eagle on my shelf, and also a plush toy of Fozzie in a Canadian Maple Leafs uniform. They're my favorites - I think of myself as a combination of both - I'm a joker who's always appalled by other people.

Was James Mason ever in anything not worth seeing? Ok…forget "The Bloodline"…but seriously.

New Editor
I forget the Peter Straub novel, maybe the one before Lost Boy/Lost Girl, but he thanked his new editor who helped him winnow his writing down (sorry for the lack of specifics, but it's been a couple of years). I really noticed the difference with that and subsequent novels, but I really noticed the

Oh my gosh, you guys just reminded me that the Hulk did fight Man-Wolf in the comics at least once. It was so long ago I read it that I don't remember what they did with the "transformation" aspect they had in common.

Best version of "Sunday Morning Coming Down". Well that'd be Lynn Anderson's, right? There's something about the smile you can hear in her voice when she sings "And there's nothing short of dyyyying!!!"

I have to agree - Saul Bass directed a movie? Hot damn! I kind of wish he'd made an animated movie (did he?), but Hot Damn!

So true, St God - I recently rewatched this one (I was watching all of them in order, with a friend). I must have completely blocked out the flirtation between Uhura and Scotty. What the hell????

Dang, time flies! I actually must have missed that - thanks.

Good, the movies! I'm always happy to revisit the movies! In theory, if not in practice…I'm sure you know what I mean.

Wasn't "Licence to Kill" based on a John Gardner novel?

Don't go near my daughter again. Don't try to see her. Don't write her and don't phone her.

ELECTRO!!
Ah, I loved Electro when I was a kid. But yeah, II was so perfectly awesome and III such a disappointment that I think I'm done with Spiderman movies. I've seen the best.

Aw naw - you imagined someone other than Cary Grant? At the height of his handsomeness, at that?

Yep - I absolutely adore it, literally everything about it (maybe I don't adore the dream sequence's execution). I needed to be a few years older than 17, which is how old I was the first time I saw it. The more you watch it, the more there is to see.

Vertigo is one of my very favorites of all time, and Rear Window I didn't like the last time I saw it. This is the reverse of the first time I saw them, in the early '80s.

Henry Fonda couldn't help "Ash Wednesday". At all.

I had a feeling I didn't quite get it right…

Hey no love for Bell, Book and Candle? It's kind of the defining frothy, romantic comedy (in a good way). And it has Jack Lemmon and Elsa Lanchester!

Yes Steffs, Potter turned out to be faking being crippled on SNL.

I don't know what you're talking about, but some of that Pinot Grigot does sound like it'd be good with some of them dice cookies your ma makes.
