No, in the series 4 finale Frank actually says "We are the terror" as they both look into the camera; Claire doesn't say anything.

Monica's time as an intern began in 1995 during Clinton's first term and lasted much less than three years by all accounts. The scandal itself began with several news reports in January 1998, such as the Washington Post front-page story "Clinton Accused of Urging Aide to Lie." Clinton was impeached in December 1998 by…

I would argue that Quintet is the best movie that could have been made from that particular script. (Admittedly I haven't seen it since it was in theaters in 1979.)

Wait - you thought the ending of Taxi Driver wasn't "vivid" enough? (I presume you mean the shootings and not the epilogue.)

Andy Partridge (XTC's "Melt the Guns," 1982) wrote about violence as entertainment thusly:

Goodfellas. I could have seen it in the theater but didn't; on a TV screen it's OK, but I have an idea what I've missed. Maybe the AFI Silver Theatre near me will program it; that's where I saw 2001 the last time it came around, having first seen it at a very impressionable age in 1968 (in Cinerama).

Heck, it was May 9th - three weeks ago today.

For me the Lost finale didn't retrospectively ruin any of the enjoyment I'd gotten from earlier episodes; what it did ruin was any chance that I'd want to watch an episode ever again. So it is a loss of a sort.

I agree with all these facts except one: I surely wasn't 11 when the re-release came out, because I was in college when I first saw the original release in May 1977.

The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones was already made (for TV) 30 years ago. Can this have been forgotten?!

Well, I guess there are worse things to be accused of than being a hipster poseur.

My thanks to all the staff writers who didn't use the title "A New Hope" except to refer to a later re-release.

Joe Lieberman came very close to being the first Jewish vice president - and was Franken's running mate in his book Why Not Me?

Tom Hanks is out, then?

If elected, President-elect Franken would be 69 1/2 on election day. I wish he were younger but am glad he ran for the Senate and won.

The two credited screenplay writers (as opposed to the four other credits for the "story") are Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, who have been hired to produce a new adaptation of Starship Troopers according to reports in December 2016. I both envy and pity those guys - a very strange mixture.

Considering he is the most famous graduate of my high school, I don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing.

I feel bad for Sam Mendes. The kind of director he used to be disappeared soon after the release of Revolutionary Road (as did his marriage to its co-star). It's a shame because in my opinion no one should have gone near trying to adapt the Yates novel; too much of what made it meaningful was interior, inexpressible…

Sounds almost as if the network TV version of the story (was it ABC?) last year, starring Richard Dreyfuss and Blythe Danner, was done more satisfactorily.

From the mid-1980s until 3 years ago, Red Lobster was Olive Garden at the corporate level. Today they're owned separately but I wouldn't go to either one.
