It was a more innocent time.

Doesn't ANYONE remember that Sherilyn Fenn played Elizabeth Taylor on TV? About, oh, twenty years ago or so? Her fat makeup looked like a paper wasp nest glued to her chin.

Were they there with the contract that fast? Yoink!

Well, why buy the cow when you can get all the milk you want for free? No offense.

Stick around for the jokes!

Is that what she was in "Big Fish"? I saw that recently and was just floored by her.

Hm, Richard E Grant on the plus side, comparisons to "Army of Darkness" and "Big Trouble In Little China" on the (for me) minus…hmmm. I'm really torn.

How about lighter fluid?

You might have a point, but claiming to know why people REALLY don't like it, even if they don't themselves, isn't the way to make it.

Yeah? I've never seen Hudson Hawk, but I'm a big fan of Withnail & I (and of Posh Nosh).

I haven't watched this yet. I wouldn't but I feel a strange obligation to do so, since the show meant so much to me. And I've committed to watching it with a friend.

Kitty Wells sang some pretty heartfelt songs about failed marriage and broken families - just the titles of two in particular kill me:

Bom bom bommmm

Actually, "First Lady of Country Music" was Tammy Wynette's "title". "The Queen of Country Music" was already taken by Kitty Wells, and they tended to hold those titles for life.

"Just Someone I Used To Know" is the epitome of sad country, to me:

I love when the Pointer Sisters come on with that song and I can say "You know who had a big hit with that song? Conway Twitty."

Long as you're going into town, pick me up some bananas?

I do remember that there was at least one joke that was in the trailer and not in the movie, which usually means editing issues. I think, though it's been a long time, that in the trailer Bruce Willis tells Goldie Hawn "there's something wrong with your…dress" when he can see through the gaping hole in her abdomen.

Sydney Pollack gave the best, funniest performance in "Death Becomes Her" too. The movie doesn't really work for me overall, but his small role as the gradually terrified doctor is briiiilllliant.

I think the joy of just happening onto a fun movie because you know a movie is always on at "X" time (midnight, 2PM on a Saturday) is gone forever. It was more special because it was completely random, and all the better if you happened to catch it with a  friend or loved one.
