Congratulations to Bob’s Burgers for reaching 200 Episodes! Now I’m hungry.

I have sold, installed, and serviced home satellite systems since 1984. Back when they consisted of 10 and 12 foot dishes that tracked the satellite arc from east to west, Doc Gene was a lighthouse of sorts for satellite system installers. Tuning a dish to track that arc, aiming at six foot targets 26,000 miles in the…

I read most of Fleming’s Bond novels, years ago, and I believe I remember one of the female characters being a former actress or who mentions that during her time in Hollywood, David Niven was the only man who treated her decently. Fleming obviously respected Niven, and I believe you are correct that he was…

Sorry, reply was for a previous comment

I have read that while Corman was known for long hours and short pay, he offered his stars “A job in front of the camera, a job behind the camera, on set food, and their name above the title” all of which was hugely important to the people who’s careers he helped get off the ground. I would consider Corman’s legacy to…

Although neither Russel nor Carpenter appear in it, the commentary track for C.H.U.D is a delight. A highlight is when the cast, somewhere in the middle of the movie, and apparently after several drinks, compare notes and realize none got paid what they were promised for the movie.

“Alec Guinness, the one actual movie star in the cast”

Groucho was still alive and functional then, he would have been great as either Governor William J. La Petomane, or maybe better yet, Reverend Johnson.

Yeah, I doubt that the movie would have been improved by the casting changes, but still, I would love watching Wayne interact with, and more or less play straight man to Richard Pryor.

As much as I dearly love Blazing Saddles as it is, I would sell your soul to Santa for the chance to travel to some alternate universe and watch a version where Bart and the Waco Kid are played by Richard Pryor and John Wayne. Hedley Lamarr would still have to be Harvey Korman, though. I can’t imagine anybody…

Puddles is simply fuckin amazing. His versions of “Reflections of my Life” and “I Remember Finding Our About You” are haunting, and his mashup of “Folsome Prison Blues/Pinball Wizard” is wonderfully bizarre. Puddles is without a doubt my absolute favorite seven foot singing clown.

So, does he bomb Tokyo?

Speaking of missing fingers, there was a great episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents aired back in 1960 which featured an adaption of a Roald Dahl story, in which Peter Lorre makes a bet with Steve McQueen. If McQueen’s new lighter lights ten times in a row without a miss, Lorre will give him a new convertible. If it…
