I remember that "twin sister" plot in "Echoes of the Mind" as being similar to an episode of Hart to Hart staring Lois Chiles from perhaps a year or so earlier. Not sure whether it was a recycled script from the same writer, or an actual ripoff, though the Magnum version was better done, as referenced here.

Much like the real life Tom Clancy!

They went so far as to reference the mythical "5-0" on Magnum as an actual unit of Hawaii's State Police.

Towards the end Welles would do damn near anything for a buck…

Surely there's the whole Italian "Giallo" subgenre to work with there, or something out of Herschell Gordon Lewis' ouvre in the '60s.

I remember how puzzled my friends and I were when we heard Die Hard was in production — "An action movie starring that guy?" Of course he pulled it off spectacularly, but I agree about what his finest role has been.

I know I've done it.

I'm not sure I fully accept the "economy" of Shyamalan's writing. The "was he ever sick as a child?" sequence in Unbreakable seemed to me to drag on unnecessarily (Wouldn't that have been a subject of comment since the time he was a kid? He might even have won a perfect attendance award at graduation).

The accuracy of Toth's book has been criticized, though I've not delved deeply enough myself to say whether she merely altered details to protect sources, conflated and embellished for dramatic effect, or just flat out made a lot of things up.

If you'd watched any of the OJ trial you wouldn't even have needed to ask the question.

I, an agnostic, will buy all that, though I find indefinite "contempt of court" imprisonments questionable under most circumstances. The appropriate remedy for an elected official refusing to perform the duties of their office is impeachment from that office. If there's no procedure for impeaching County Clerks in…

Definitely has a feel of "9th grade edginess" to it.
When an artist feels such obvious contempt when he's mocking this sort of thing, truly he has become what he beheld.

It's Scorsese's cloyingly cute reboot of Taxi Driver. Formerly titled Look Who's Talking To Me.

He retired some years back, with the title "Nerd Emeritus".

I'm impressed that the old gal is that knowledgeable about the medals she bestows. Somehow I doubt Charles is that on-the-ball.

I thought Amanda Waller was the Suicide Squad's Lee Marvin.
