The Godfather also had a lot of stuff cut for time and also because of pure insanity (Sonny’s lover in the book is a woman with a massive vagina that can only be serviced by a man as hung as he is; after he is killed she undergoes surgery to reduce her vagina to a size usable by normal men.)

Didn’t you? When you encountered one of your classmates singing about how she wished her life was more than this, you didn’t join in the chorus section?

Coconut crabs are said to be good eating, though, although their claws (which can crack coconuts, hence the name) are worth keeping out of reach from.

That’s more on the trash can rather than in it.

“And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese on Altar IV?

Yeah, I liked Oppenheimer, and I really get the annoyance with CGI when it is about things like monsters, stunts, etc. But if there is one thing that CGI could help with it is big explosions. The explosion in the movie was underwhelming — not that it really mattered as the movie is more about Oppenheimer the person…

I’m sorry for your loss. I loved your FIL in Aliens, Streets of Fire, Titanic, and many other movies (but seriously I never really got the Pullman/Paxton similarity meme -- they don’t look that alike. Was it just that their names were similar that people got confused by?)

You’re not alone. There’s dozens of people like you! Dozens!

Unfortunately, his Peloton instructor couldn’t hear Nolan’s response because the background music drowned out his words.

In part because the real life epilogue of Norma Rae’s story being “The American textile industry, rather than deal with the gains union organizers achieved in the 1960s and 1970s, decided to move overseas where workers were cheaper and more compliant” is a bit too depressing.

Those dark Satanic mills of music factories. Many a child has lost a limb in their devilish spinning cogs.

As a reminder as to how long ago (37 years) it has been since “The Princess Bride”, Patinkin played Inigo Montoya (the Spaniard who wanted to avenge his father by killing the six-fingered man who killed him).

Eh, maybe. The thing is we already know Trump and pals were friendly with Epstein as well as the standard targets of right-wing hate like Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, so I suspect its use as a political tool will be moot.

Yeah, I remember that movie, but is there a joke/reference here regarding it and public domain that I’m not getting?

But his name is so appropriate to the genre Pete proposes!

Or The Front Page with Pooh characters (you may know it better in the version where the reporter is female “His Girl Friday” or where they update the setting to a TV news show rather than a newspaper “Switching Channels”, but obviously those versions are still under copyright).

Be sure to get a friend to play Sammy Davis Jr! That way you can have the dramatic scene where you convert him to Judaism!

I’m really disappointed to learn that this movie isn’t about Wilbur’s spider friend Charlotte deciding to open a brothel.

Things becoming unavailable anywhere except in out-of-print physical media is a real thing today. I am a fan of the late A.S. Byatt, who died last November. The 1995 movie Angels & Insects, based on a novella of hers, is absent from steaming services and even the DVD isn’t for sale new. I wanted to see it and had to…

Nobody asked her about her truly career-defining role, far exceeding any movie or album of hers? I speak of course, of the magical dumpster-living singing waif in the 2003 episode of Clone High, Snowflake Day.
