Sports are about winning. That's the goal. Laettner won.

Neat.

I was expecting a half-full bottle of liquor. But I guess Ed would have drained every bottle he had.

Really?

I'll give away "spoilers" since the movie is fifty-five goddamn years old. It's the scene where Gable is being dragged by a mustang he's roped, Gable being pulled across the salt flats of Nevada at high speed without a stunt double. That doubtless wasn't good for him, although of course he'd had heart disease for…

Leslie Howard was the worst. Such a wimp of an actor.

Ronald Reagan was pretty good in "Kings Row". He plays an evil crime boss in "The Killers". He hardly ever got good parts.

Well, you can play them on DVD players. But I ordered "Show People" and that had literally no special features. Not even chapter breaks. In this Youtube era, that seems pointless.

I should have read through before making my comment below re: this film and "Dead Poets Society". They are pretty fascinating mirror images.

I had fun watching this with the wife, who is a huge "Downton Abbey" fan. I asked her, "so, who is that?", and she watched for maybe 20 minutes before she gave up. Good times.

It is actually. The scene where the art teacher is painting the nude student…goodness.

Oh yes, Salon, the home of kneejerk idiot criticism. Good call.

I have no idea what that has to do with this article…but god almighty yes, Helen Mirren was so goddamn hot in "Age of Consent". People like to talk about how beautiful she is in her 60s and such. When she was actually young? My God.

I don't know if there's any actress today who can match Smith for longevity, but the ghost of Lillian Gish would like a word.

He's pretty great in "The Misfits". I think that's the only Gable film over the last 20 years of his career that I've seen.

A spinoff with a modern Sally Draper sounds pretty awesome, actually.

America demands a movie with a topless Nasim Pedrad.

I did, and he was.

Her character's name is Melissa, and that was a hearse.

You can get temperatures in a furnace far hotter than a stove, with wood and charcoal.
