Have entertainment investors learned nothing from The Producers?

Just like the gypsy woman said!

At least that time the hotel had an excuse…

Or about having been touched…

In our office we called that "Employee Self-Evaluation".

Can't wait to see Being and Nothingness and Mein Kampf for kids.

A quick Wikipedia check implies that most Amish do accept Velcro, with only the more extreme subgroups like the Swartzenruber believing it "too worldly". I don't see any reference to Ziploc bags.

Where do the Amish stand on Velcro and Ziploc bags?

There's definitely a difference between interviewing someone like Dick Miller, whose career has primarily been in "goofier stuff", and someone like Lloyd, who have probably been cast ironically in most of the goofier stuff they've done.

Depends which reality you're in — Berenstein, or Berenstain…

And a thought-controlled jet fighter!

I'd always found that kind of a weird attempt at leveraging marginal fame, but seeing here that Molinaro had been a real estate speculator, and kind of late and casual entrant to the character acting game, I can see where the impulse to get into a "legitimate business" would likely have been strong for him.

But Evil Dead II is really more of a remake than a sequel. It doesn't really have flashbacks to the original Evil Dead, nor should it.

Agreed that the rights issues were and are unfortunate, but I, for one, very much enjoyed Bridget Fonda's guest appearance in the Army of Darkness recap prologue.

Being concerned about the dignity of a raccoon is about as pointless as being concerned about the dignity of a politician.

I have mixed feelings regarding the intent of Psycho's epilogue.

Modern viewers, though, and possibly many in the '60s, are probably more likely to see the epilogue ironically:

Having elsewhere on these boards mistaken the guy who played the lead Viking in The 13th Warrior for Vigo, I must now express my apologies to Vladimir Kulich for confusing him with this bastard.

I definitely had the sense, watching the film for the first time recently, that Torrance had always been a kind of a distant and troubled husband and father, and that alcohol was taking him over the edge into outright abusiveness, with the spiritual influence of the hotel just expediting his collapse. It's a tragedy

Genius! Perfect cover for the fact that your snack bar nurse and stand-by ambulance are really there because your concessions are way past their expiration date…

I just automatically read that in Dr. Hibbert's voice.
