yeah, I figure you can basically swap in Billy Dee for Walken, change the ending so his body isn't found, and boom

I figured he must have backed out of Batman Returns for some reason and they changed Harvey Dent into Christopher Walken, hence him getting caught in an explosion at the end.

there's…there's another wesley?

Wesley was great! But when STTNG was on, I was too young to relate to him. His character is all about starting out in a tough career as a young person who fucks up all the time, so when I rewatched the series in my early-20s, he was my favorite.

"Oh, my fiancee just died? The girl I was in love with for like three years? Huh."

One of my favorite entrances is Faye Dunaway in Thomas Crown Affair. Unfortunately I can't find the full clip, but the setup is that a bank was very successfully robbed, the cops don't have a clue, and a representative from the insurance agency that has to reimburse the bank wants to bring in a specialist.

I figured it was setting groundwork for later when we see an elderly Cooper in the…

Just watched the video, and it is truly embarrassing. Like, hard to watch. Really bad.

I'm not sure I can give Night credit for Osment's…

He was ten, so I can't say he was 'responsible'…but that same year, The Sixth Sense came out, starring 11-year-old Haley Joel Osment. That's a movie with flaws of its own, but I remember at the time thinking 'how is it that George Lucas, with access to the best casting directors and all the money in the world, got…

Oh, Letterman definitely did. Those late-night hosts basically work 20 hours a day.

I would consider self-evaluation to be a major part of the job.

"I eventually became very powerful, but first my testicles were removed by a wizard…"

no, that would be the executive order banning Muslims

as a former broadcast TV professional, I can say with confidence that this was almost certainly a technical glitch or human error (or human error of not dealing with a persistent technical glitch), and frankly I'm surprised it doesn't happen a lot more often

That's almost worse!

well, except the humans gave consent, so…

It was always a good song, just a terrible music video
