Spoilers definitely have an expiration date. I mean, if you're watching WITH someone who hasn't seen the movie, or you're not sure, you should keep your mouth shut definitely, but it's safe to assume that after 30+ years most films' plots won't hold much surprise.

Many many years ago
I had a comic sex fantasy about The Mary Tyler Moore show. It was pretty specific - had a plot and everything, involving pictures that Mary had posed for before she moved to Minneapolis coming to light in the WJM newsroom.

It's been awhile for me too but I've seen it a few times. I don't THINK there are teenage assassins. As I recall, the massacre at the deli takes place off-camera (or does it take place at all?)

And useless old sad old alcoholic old Dorothy Malone.

I agree completely - also, because I can be a mush, I find it strangely moving, especially the final shot with the answering machine.

Oops. Now I remember.

Teenage assassins? In Winter Kills???

Winter Kills
Winter Kills. Winter Kills? Winter Kills!

The '76 King Kong also is my favorite version of the story

Starshine and dr zarnak, thanks - I'd forgotten about the pawing the tv, and so would have never remembered that it was another terrific moment from the See My Vest episodes.

Cautionary tale:
This guy named Jon was named after his father. Trouble is, said father found out well into adulthood that his own birth certificate reads "John", not "Jon", and so began spelling it that way. This did not change the spelling of the younger Jon, the "Jr." at the end of whose name is now a little

To be fair
People name their kids after themselves all the time.

Um…wasn't that (Gosh help me) Skat Kat?

man-in-the-moon, her kids were on that stage too. Her kids were on that stage too.

Actually, that is the definition of a "curse", isn't it?

I do believe I should
Maybe get back together with the guy who showed me this two years ago…maybe.

I got one of those for Christmas when I was a kid (I saw it on the TV). I used the heck out of it for awhile, then realized it was pretty much redundant and I cou - wait, what?

"Winona Ryder is lying about her age!" vs. "Winona Ryder is still bangable!" It didn't occur to me I was on the wrong side - or that there even was another way to approach the story!

I just mean I can't believe she's five years younger than I am. I don't quite believe it - looking at her filmography, I find it not believable that her first film as a legal adult of 18 was Great Balls of Fire. I know she was PLAYING teenagers, but usually the actor is still 18 or over, due to the major

I knew she was Jewish, btw - somehow over the last twenty years I've picked up the information that her last name was Horowitz.
