I remember Fandango’s gag about dragging the broken-down car by train to be gut-bustingly hilarious. Haven’t seen it in an age though.

Ah. The return of the Gentleman’s F. Welcome back, old friend. 

McCabe & Mrs Miller had an element of that too

Did he say it in Latin? “In vino veritas”? If so then yeah, he may have coined the sentiment, if not the phrase. His past misdeeds will never be undone.

I don’t know if he coined this expression or not, but it was Kid fucking Rock of all people who I heard say “A drunk man’s words are just a sober man’s thoughts.”

I heard she was the one who pulled some strings and got him the role in “Return of the Killer Tomatoes”

Dammit. Now I want Bananas Foster.

What’s a little ridiculous about this specific callout is that Clooney DID get shit-talked about his connections. But it was, you know, 30 fucking years ago or more. I get her point but she really should have chosen an example from THIS era, not the release of Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes.

This banana is all brown and on fire.

Current day? Sure. Back in the day? Eric was on the road to superstardom.

And many of those who once gave a shit grew so thoroughly sick of the subject after the umpteenth thinkpiece that now they just want everyone to shut up already.

Clancy Brown is awesome. I saw him in a trailer for something recently, and got hyped for it. (but not hyped enough to actually remember what it was)

Who can forget the enormous power Rosemary Clooney wielded in 1980's Hollywood when George Clooney got his start? Studio executives cowered in fear that she might sic Danny Kaye on them.

A few weeks ago, when someone posted this image in a discussion group for some reason:

Only a real atoll would love Waterworld.

Michael Ironside looks decent for 74.

I don’t think it’s a minority opinion, most people really don’t give a shit.

Sounds like an Onion headline: “I’m Actually a Great Guy” Claims Angry Jerk

Probably minority opinion: The nepo baby issue is overrated. The last name gets you the interview, you get yourself the job. And she’s absolutely right that the expectations are higher.

Pretty sure I saw Dutifully Transactional Costner Sex open for We Were Promised Jetpacks back in ‘05.
