Cameron Diaz… has four Golden Globes nominations, which can actually be traded in for one Oscar.

I think it's actually more interesting for him to have been a free black man in the pre-Civil War US — It would make something closer to an actual romance more likely, and would highlight the racial/cultural divides without the institution of slavery as a sort of crutch.

If any image you see is "non-sexualized", you're not trying hard enough.

That could be spun poetically — "His heart was just too fragile for this world…"

They prefer to be called, "Equestricles".

I recall a bit of innuendo about that right in the movie itself, and I've no idea why anyone would draw the conclusion they were supposed to be siblings (does someone reference "sisterhood" at some point?).

I don't recall anyone actually doing that. In my experience, it's pretty much always been referred to as "Iran-Contra".

Well, it was the '80s

I recall doing it once or twice when I'd been working outdoors and my glasses were heavily mud-splattered and dirty. I suppose someone might do it simply to see better if their uncorrected vision was bad enough, but I'm pretty blind without mine, and it's never been an issue.

All the factory imagery in the stage sequences just looks like typical '80s video excess now, but they stood out as a sort of artistic Constructivism parody even when it was new. The door at the beginning of the stage sequence, and the distinctly Wehrmacht-pattern eagle atop it (most clearly visible at 0:48) made…

It would make a certain sense if Double-0 agents operated like the ancient Persian "Immortals" — When one dies, his successor takes over his whole life, property, name, etc.

Nah. It's the origin story for Blofeld's cat.

She's not rail thin in that video, but she's hardly enormous. I believe she actually gained a lot of weight in subsequent years, such that she ended up having some sort of bariatric surgery. I think pop culture memory tends to conflate that whole arc.

Or filming with a Panavision lens…
"Hey, ever notice how skinny everyone looks in those spaghetti westerns on TV?"

Either commercial fireworks, like sparklers and roman candles, or perhaps self-luminous radioactive material.

A little out of the current pop spotlight, but I think there should be some reference here to the '80s Wiseguy series and its "Mel Profitt" story arc that launched Kevin Spacey's career. Mel's relationship with his sister, Susan, was one of the earliest TV uses of the incestuous sibling trope that I can recall.

I'd not previously heard about Shirley MacLaine having been cast in Bonnie And Clyde, which itself is interesting in that she more remotely resembles Bonnie Parker than Faye Dunaway ever did.

And the wardrobe sharing.

They're also vastly more convenient pets than dogs — Want to get away for the weekend? Just set out some extra food and water and go. They may not even notice you were gone.

You don't earn a cat's love. You either rent it with food, or happen to be around to rub on when it's in the mood for such a thing.
