I assume Zeek was given a off screen military funeral, as he was a veteran. Cut for time obviously.

Harry Knowles, is that you?
My son has autism and he finds social interactions very difficult. Max's behavior towards Dylan was unacceptable, but he is also portrayed as a person who is very literal in his social interactions. He seems to see things very black and white. I know that dealing with my son that some with ASD don't handle change very…
And they are married to each other in real life as well, apparently.
And her mother was the chef obsessing over Elaine's shoes on Seinfeld. Pasta Primavera anyone?
I just couldn't get past that Dylan's dad was Drew Barrymore's asshole boyfriend in The Wedding Singer. Took me right out of the show for a minute.
If you have read about the final years of Hitchcock's life and career, it was well known that he struggled to get projects made despite his reputation. Failing health and a changing film industry got the best of him at the end. The guy had been around forever, and was really relegated to tired old crank on the back…
Where I live they built a seniors retirement residence next to a funeral home. I joked that maybe they have a secret tunnel connecting the two buildings…or a least a slide to send the bodies next door.
All I could think of when Zeek looked out the hospital window was the cemetery scene from Poltergeist.
I read awhile ago that Cronenberg was a director for hire on this. After the stress of Videodrome, he wanted something more mainstream to get him back on track. Probably the best decision he ever made.
Only in New York (or Toronto) can a girl with a a death face covered in blood walk down the street and not get a single stare.
I saw a retrospective on Cronenberg's work at a museum in Toronto just after Naked Lunch opened. Way fucking cool. Life-sized mugwumps, the pods from The Fly, and the exploding head scene from Scanners….playing over and over in a loop. They had the gyno instruments from Dead Ringers in a room surrounded by blood red…
Waiting for the inevitable sequel…Fault in Our Stars 2: Terminal Velocity.
Good to see the return of the "hoodie of invisibility" during the opening chase. No "jack sack" yet though.
I think part of the problem is that he seems to work non-stop. Maybe taking a break for a bit, reset himself, count his cash. And maybe read his scripts a little slower.
"0hhh…quirky and weird. I'll do it!!"
I worked at a video store in the 90s…back in the VHS days. For about a month straight in 95, a bunch of our new releases were stolen on the first day. The fuckers came in with a screwdriver and took the tapes apart, stole the reels, and left the shell behind. Our solution at the time was to superglue the screws…
I only really "shoplifted" a free drink from Orange Julius. Won on a scratch cup but had to be 14 to redeem it. My brother and I (10 and 8 at the time) handed it in…ran like hell.
Both Robert Zemekis and Bob Gale have final approval over any BTTF re-do. Not gonna happen.
He has not been the same since his son died. A few personal projects (ie: Tucker) but really has just been a director for hire. Sad really.
