I'll take the contrarian stance. I think the ending of Blazing Saddles is actually entertaining and dramatically satisfying, in contrast to most of the other "we couldn't think of an ending" endings I know of. I would particularly contrast it with the end of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which really just pulls…

I'd like to hear more about that "disproof", 'cause it's hard to see what would have appealed to her about the role enough to bother taking it (she seems to have been working fairly steadily then), unless it had been cut down at some point.

I sense a series here — Fear: Heights, where we see a guy dangling from a crane for a half hour; Fear: Spiders, where we see a guy tied up in a crawlspace for a half hour; and Fear: Falling Into A Wood Chipper, which runs during a normal commercial break…

It's a crime they never made a Hong Kong Phooey movie.

I still had to confirm for my teenage daughter that yes, that is a real film. I was glad she finally got to see a clip of Anthony Newley too, as she's always amused and horrified when I do singing impressions of him.

Newley? Embarrassed to be there? Given the rest of his film credits?

As I recall, the Blockade Runner design was originally supposed to be for the Millennium Falcon. I don't know whether that switch was made before this model was actually constructed, or after.

A one-man show about someone who thinks they're someone else… How does that work exactly? How can you tell they're not who they think they are?

The old Doctor Who serial "Resurrection of the Daleks" was produced during some sort of strike at the BBC, and the latter half or so of the episodes were produced without any music, visual, or sound effects. Various characters were hit by Dalek death rays that were invisible and silent, but for the characters'…

Michael Hutchence. Do I hear a third?

And he'd shiv you just to gain status in his pod. So long as you both understand that, you can build a working relationship.

The line between herbivore and carnivore isn't nearly as clear-cut as we've long been taught — witness the YouTube videos of deer eating birds. Sheep do the same thing. All herbivores nutritionally require some animal proteins, usually supplied by insects in the greenery they eat. When they get a chance for a special…

It also had its climax in a multiplex theater with an absurd 36 screens — which I think there are at least a few examples of around now.

Six of you went in to see it, but how many left the theater?

Maybe they just liked being portrayed as triumphant and not-to-be-fucked-with — sort of like the way neopagans enjoy the original version of The Wicker Man.

Man, Myth & Magic was an earlier, British-produced installment set from before the Time-Life Books heyday. I remember it as being marketed a little more edgily (see Craig Stephen Tower's link below), emphasizing naked Wiccan chicks and sex magick, as many such things were in the early '70s.

It's also the one that works best with —
The A.V. Club:

I sympathize with you — as pets I find them cute and entertaining. While the subway kind are dirty, disease carrying, and possibly aggressive, such that I wouldn't exactly want one in my lap, I don't get the horror response that some people seem to have from 50' away.

I hope you tipped them well. They were trying to make an honest living and build a life for their kids!

Subtext is generally in the eye of the beholder, but I agree it's not the same as "exploring" the subject.
