"Number Four!  Bobby Orr!"  I think of that line every time I see ORR in a crossword puzzle.

He was the original Jackie Brown!

Not a huge fan of Serpico.  I think it's somewhat of a misfire, resulting in a lot of what I presume is unintentional humor.

In the 1930's Orson Welles and The Mercury Theater staged Julius Caesar as a fascist parable to great critical acclaim.

Was that a rhetorical question as to why anyone would want Keanu Reeves to perform in Shakespeare?

They wanted it more.

You should definitely see Footlight Parade if you get the chance.  The Shanghai Lil number at the end might very well be the greatest musical scene in film history.

Of course I do.  She's my favorite of Mr. Drummond's housekeepers but she is also dead.

Yes, please.  This show seemed so great and relevant when I was a dumb little kid watching it but now it's such a bizarre window into 1980's culture.

Every season's DS episodes are bizarre.  Bicycle repairman molesters, an appearance by Nancy Reagan, hitchhiking in New York City (!?!) and being kidnapped, accidentally sending a remote control airplane into the Russian embassy and almost starting WWIII, etc.

"You made one mistake, Mr. Potter.  You let me live!"

I didn't watch the clip because I despise Hodgman, but there isn't a "public bailout" as that phrase is currently used.  It's a community of individuals choosing to come together and help out a man who needs their aid.  The government never plays any role in saving George Bailey.
