Long gone are the days when Stuart could charm Penny by sketching her, get her to go with him and almost score. Where did that guy go?

Since we're including actors from animated Batman shows, I'd like to give a shout out to Olan Soule, who was the voice of Batman for me growing up on the various incarnations of The Superfriends (before West himself replaced him in 1984.)

Stop sniffing.

John and Paul, even early on, were such strong singer/songwriters and Ringo had his "I'm just happy to be here" attitude (I would imagine the first time Ringo was on stage with Rory Storm and The Hurricanes his persona was instantly etched in stone), but George floated somewhere in between most of the time. Heck,

I'm actually kind of surprised The Force Awakens didn't get a token nomination for Best Picture. Not that it necessarily deserves it or has any chance of winning. I would imagine Disney really didn't give a shit and put no effort into lobbying for one (it was already going to get all the technical nods, so the film

"You pompous, stuck-up, snot-nosed… giant, twerp, scumbag, fuck-face, dickhead, asshole."

Let's not even get into what they did to The Knightley Show.

"Was this a cartoon?"

"But seriously? Cancer? That's not relatable. The extra sock you always find in your laundry, that's relatable. Would you like a scone?"

Wolf is a werewolf picture only Mike Nichols could have made. It's not perfect, but still pretty good. The idea of a book editor becoming ruthless at office politics because he was bitten by a werewolf is in and of itself an amazingly offbeat angel, and in how it's played by Nicholson and Spader, hysterical.

Now that's a reference. Well played. And come to think of it, Wink Martindale sounds like the name of a character in a tale about a dragon, doesn't it?

Wow. The remake no one was thinking of, let alone asking for. The original was one of several Disney 70's misfires, in a vain attempt get another success along the lines of Mary Poppins. But the premise is truly disturbing when you think about it, the songs were second rate, and Helen Reddy ain't no Julie Andrews.

Oh man. Not that the songs were classic, but without them Pete's Dragon would be soooo dark.

I cannot hear Mickey Rooney's name mentioned without hearing (and seeing) Dana Carvey's imitation.

If we're chasing the dragon, we're talking about something a lot stronger than weed.

He said very racistly

He's sooooo dreamy on the Three Days of The Condor poster!

I'd rather not.

Other than being John Lennon's wife and widow, I can't think of another high profile celebrity that is more inconsequential. And I say that with no hatred for the woman.
