Heed the advice of Mr. Natural - "If you don't get it, don't mess with it!"

He was only two years older than me, but he lived so much more than me, and now he's died more than me. 

A combination of The In-Laws (the original) and Romancing the Stone.
 
Not the worst pedigree.

No Equus?  At the end Richard Burton just looks at you and explains things.

In many of their films Oliver Hardy gave the same look to the audience as if to say "See what I have to deal with?"

This movie should be viewed by all writers with unpublished novels and/or screenplays so they can scream at the screen: "I can't get published but this shit made it to the movies?"
Seriously.

The Mythbusters did test that idea and it didn't seem to work.  Not sure if it was the equipment failing or Adam just having the strength and endurance.

Archer is kind of the spiritual descendent of Maxwell Smart - another moron who almost always succeeded.

And Dunkirk was their fault, how?

Now that I think about it - Big Ed reminds me of Buckle from American Dad!

I always thought of Shel Silverstein as an adult entertainer (through his cartoons) with a kid's entertainment sideline.  As for Pee-Wee Herman - the original stage show (which I saw on cable) was very R rated. It was the watered down TV series that was the shock.

Yeah, but it's almost longer after the fact than a Mel Brooks homage movie.

"Why am I so attracted to the crazy chicks that pop up on this show?"

But Juliet with a crossbow?  Man, that was hot.

But there are differences.  I can understand actors thinking of growing up to play Lear, but not the guy in that Twilight Zone episode.  Also, when Hitchcock made Psycho, I think that was it and I'm not sure Vince Vaughn added anything.

Which raises the question, why do they remake things if they are just shot for shot recreations?  It also raises the question, my remakes at all?

He says the loser dies but there's no evidence of it.  Klugman's character would certainly have heard of hot young pool players dropping dead all over the country.

They probably rushed the episode into production thinking - "We'd better get this on the air before Fidel is forced out of power and it's pointless."

Confused by the shower though.  Where was the water supposed to go?  Most showers, you turn on the water and it goes down some kind of drain.  This one flooded the bathroom.

I was kind of disappointed at the episode with Shawn devolving into a child and being so petty at Juliet's work (again).
 
Also uncomfortable was how much sense the psycho killer made.
