I haven't watched it all the way through in a long while, either.

I just remember the oddity of someone putting a fruit bowl over Tom Cruise's junk, and Nicole stealing a peek.

I understand. I always Landis to do a straight-up musical (Blues Brothers doesn't really count).

If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs.

Where the hell was Coneheads?

Things in Coming to America's favor:
It's the first Eddie Murphy film I saw.
Great ensemble.
Least amount of tonal shifts/disconnect from Eddie's '80s heyday

Alas, James Callahan died in 2007.
(Create your own conspiracy theory.)

Thank you. I expect to be back tomorrow.

Sadly, I never have time for the deleted scenes. When they introduced the idea of Shelly reveling in being a political wife, I thought they were gearing up for her dressing like Jackie O, Nancy Reagan or Barbara Bush.

Oh, totally. Especially since this was the era of ripped from the headline stuff.

Sorry, all. No Thoughts On for today.

If he tried a little harder, he could pretend having an AARP card.

Hey, Culligan Ass-man!

I haven't, but that sounds awesome.

In later years, Annie Potts/Mary Jo became very one note.

The more things change. Wilson was a passion project for Darryl F. Zanuck. Supposedly he was furious it ended up losing Best Picture to Going My Way.

Very true. Holling and Maurice know each other extremely well, so there's no need for airs and attitude.

I guess it's supposed to show how Jane can't quite see Maggie as anything other than her little princess from Michigan.

Yeah, that is kind of the problem with binge-watching. I'm sure I'd be more patient with Joel if I was only watching weekly.

Yeah, that's another moment that plays so interestingly in 2017, Maggie being so appalled at Republican ideals.
