I recently saw Take Shelter, which also ends with the word "Okay" - spoken by Jessica Chastain (playing the wife of the Michael Shannon character). When she said it - after everything that had gone before, and in the face of what she saw - I laughed out loud. Her "Okay" was a perfect, instant release of all the…

As for the election outcome, anyone who knows the Ray Bradbury story "A Sound of Thunder" (which has practically no relation to the ~10-year-old movie of the same title) will recall that one result of the squished prehistoric insect was that the strongman (Deutscher, "a man with guts") became president instead of the…

San Francisco in the movie; NYC in the new TV series.

Making History may be "the first time-travel comedy entry" in the present cycle, but 50 years ago there was It's About Time, which I recall seeing as a small child; it looks like a few episodes are on YouTube.

No disparagement intended to Bowie's accomplishments, but if I never see The Hunger or Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence again, or even The Man Who Fell to Earth, I won't mind terribly. Likewise Cat People to which he contributed a song.

Maybe because Prince is an actual Academy Award winner (in the old "original song score" category, for Purple Rain), whereas Bowie was never nominated in any category.

No, no, no, no, no! "And so it goes" was associated with Linda Ellerbee, who used it at the end of each broadcast of NBC News Overnight (1982-83) and later for the title of her memoir. The phrase used by Vonnegut to note a death in Slaughterhouse-Five was "So it goes."

Green leaves?

Well, you can bet that from now on, every envelope will have the name of the awards category in huge letters on both sides. This wouldn't have happened if the envelope had had BEST ACTRESS all over it.

Ms. Swit can hardly feel shortchanged, though; how many people score an 11-year run as a regular on a network TV series?

Meg Foster surely deserved better…

"Herskovitz points to the death of Gary in Thirtysomething as an example—though really, Thirtysomething was really more of an ensemble piece, and Gary died in the final season."

I know of someone who is undignified, implausible, and unwatchable. Connie Britton would be a better president than he is.

There was no Post endorsement in the 1988 Bush/Dukakis race (an editorial, "No Endorsement," explained why).

It's plausible that Trump's ascent was made possible by Palin's having been allowed onto a national ticket. Thanks, McCain.

Not to defend Amazon, but the Morning Call story is more than 5 years old and led to relatively quick improvements at that warehouse.

I agree completely with this assessment. Here in the DC area, one grocery chain was giving away VHS copies of Shrek 2 free with a $10 purchase - that's how we got ours, but it hasn't been watched much. My whole family (the kids were little at the time) liked the first one, and none of us ever had interest in numbers 3…

Thanks for the info. I have a first-edition hardcover* of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang that I was given as a small child. Because that book came out in late 1964, would you agree with the Wikipedia article that suggests the book was largely completed several years earlier, before Fleming fell ill?

Dr. No premiere date: 5 October 1962
Fleming's death: 12 August 1964
Not much time there for the movies to have influenced the novels.
Can you give examples?

College Park MD location?
