Which means Baio > Robert Conrad, via the transitive property

"the sister to Ron Howard’s nerdy Richie"
And also to Chuck, don't forget about Chuck

Even then, there's a huge difference between the side hug with the hand on the shoulder or arm, and one with the hand on the side or waist.

Think of it this way: you'd be taking a billion dollars away from someone who'd just do disgusting things with it.

Dear God, his face looks like it fell apart and was slapdashedly put back together, with some parts left over.

Not to mention he looks like an amalgam of every smug asshole villain in any slobs vs. snobs comedy.

I mean, there's basis in the legends for dark & gritty Arthur, but Robin Hood was never gritty! Except that time Little John murdered a kid so the kid couldn't rat him out to the Sheriff.

Fuckin A, man. Fuckin A.

"Everything that that guy just said is bullshit."

Hey, we're at the same spot! And I got super bored during "Loves of Hercules" as well.

Continued watching the new MST3K; some of my quibbles with the first few episodes (especially the scattershot riffing) have smoothed out, and it's really settling in as a worthy continuation. I don't know if I'll ever get used to Tom Servo just not sounding at all like Tom Servo anymore, though.

Prince could challenge the prosecution to Trial by Basketball.

Yeah, even Stewart at that point was known primarily as Capt. Picard and secondarily as "the guy who should play Professor X if there's ever a live-action X-Men movie."

I should've read further before posting the same question.

Isn't X-Men's cast only "all-star" post-X-Men, though? At the time, the cast ranking by recognizability would have gone
Halle Berry
Patrick Stewart
Ian McKellen
. . .
. . .
Anna Paquin
. . .
. . .
Famke Janssen

I can't say for sure that it started it, but I'll say with confidence that any such scene since is intentionally referencing Cool Hand Luke.

"And we're talking about a film, which is only just the literalization of my metaphor!"

I mean really, we couldn't get a couple of sentences about Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith? The way he enunciates "Mister Anderson" is alone worth some attention.

You'd almost have to bore down to sub-genre to make it a feasible project. Although, thinking about it, than in itself might be an interesting idea: instead of a history of horror or history of sci-fi, focus on the movies that branched off of the core genre.
