New York vs. Chicago in a battle over who can be more obnoxiously proud about their sub-par pizza? Makes me glad to be in the awesomest place on Earth for pizza…New England!

The Branagh version of Hamlet must have been great for killing a fortnight's worth of English classes.

Police Academy 4 came out in the Spring of 1987, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in the Spring of '89 and Back to the Future III in the Spring of '90. What the hell kind of movie theaters did you have around your parts?

We did the Sobibor reading too, I played the Alan Arkin part.
One kid volunteered to tape it but unfortunately used a timer. Because of football, the evening line-up got pushed back and we lost a good chunk of the ending. I had watched the broadcast, so I didn't miss out. Some of the guys in class pointed out that it…

Given the fate of Polanski's son, the whole "from his mother's womb, Ripped untimely." part couldn't help but be creepy and surreal.

for school:
Treasure Island
Escape from Sobibor
Voyage of the Mimi (Holy chickens! That's all peanut butter?)
To Kill a Mockingbird
Romeo & Juliet
Julius Caeser
Dead Poets Society
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Grapes of Wrath (filmed version of the stage play)

During the first season, when The Fonz was their only plus, they actually wanted to change the name of the show to "Fonzie's Happy Days". Because of their contracts, producers had to get approvals from Bosley and Howard before they could proceed. Bosley agreed but Howard was a tougher sell. Winkler saved Ron the…

I call it the Shatner Rule. The dependable lead who was rarely anyone's favorite: Buffy Summers, Gobo Fraggle, Andy Travis, Heathcliff Huxtable, Ned Stark…
Wait a minute, wasn't this a friggin' article like a month ago?

He only got four before it got yanked. Kind of a letdown.

After Maggie's radically altered appearance in the season 2 premiere was attributed to "things got real in Africa", people got very jittery that Sorkin was going to incorporate a "Lara Logan" plotline into the show. I don't think that this was the angle they had in mind when they worried that things would take a Lara…

Genuflect when you say that, pal.

Nelson Muntz, cellblock king?

I love the way people try to talk up Cougar Town…"Seriously, guys…it's not at all the piece of shit you'd think a show called Cougar Town would be!"

"Do I hear dogs barking on that thing?"
"I do."
I didn't listen to music much as a kid and my mom always had the car radio turned to a light rock station in the car, so I was deep into high school before I knew anything about Pink Floyd that didn't come from Turkeys Away. Unfortunately, because of licensing the scene is…

Gene and Roger were not impressed, http://siskelandebert.org/v… at about the 10:30 mark. It made another appearance later in the year on their "Worst of '93" show.

I can't agree that he was the greatest, but playing Bob and Doug MacKenzie's dad in Strange Brew and having "That's all Folks!" as his gravestone epitaph certainly puts him in the top thirty.

Billy needs to lighten up, Shrek would be nothing without Cameron Diaz…totally worth the twenty million a pop she gets for each movie.

Maybe he can turn this obsession into a "Prison Abuses" web series spin-off.

All I could think was "how much better would this show be if that bomb had gone off three minutes early?". Totally would have missed Chibs, but that's about it.

Scorsese mentioned in an interview that he would intentionally leave gaffes in his pictures because of his belief that the audience should always be conscious of the fact that they were watching a movie.
