There it is!!  

Yeah, that’s the clip I mentioned. Just a still photo of Norm over audio of the set. For the full experience, you need to see the puzzled reactions from the crowd that didn’t get the bit, and the people on the dais doubled over in hysterics at what he was doing.

His set on the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget when he intentionally bombed is an all-time favorite.  Just five minutes of the worst hack jokes you’ve ever heard and he committed to it 100%.   People in the crowd had no idea what was going on and the other comics on stage were crying they were laughing so hard.   …

This looks like a blast. I love the idea of a full-out Christmas-themed MCU adventure (Iron Man 3 barely counts).

Sean Penn was on Conan O’Brien’s podcast a while back and he was talking about how the push to have roles only played by people who share the same physical and cultural attributes as their characters is worthwhile, but can be taken too far. He said (and I don’t remember the exact quote) ‘What’s next, only a Danish…

This is great news. Hoping they can find a place for Billy Campbell to be in it. And more articles about the Rocketeer gives me more chances to post one of my all-time favorite movie posters:

From the Star Trek oral history The Fifty-Year Mission:

The Gaga album is great, and I’m looking forward to the new one, but his album of Gershwin songs with Diana Krall is simply one of the best records he’s ever made.  Can’t recommend it highly enough.  

You know those apps that tell you when it’s OK to get up and go pee during a movie so you won’t miss anything important? I want one for this movie that does the opposite. Just tell me what parts of the movie have Keaton as Batman and I’ll run in to see that. The rest of it I couldn’t care less about.

I’m not expecting they would do an episode where the Red Skull’s throw-away reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark is explored and Indiana Jones joins the MCU, but they should absolutely do that.

Who will play Coulter’s long-time boyfriend Jimmy Walker, a real relationship that actually happened and I just finished vomiting about a few minutes ago?

They really doubled down on the score’s occasional nods to John Williams’ OT scores here. Parts of it seemed to be lifted whole from ANH when Luke and the rest are trying to make their way back to the Falcon to escape the Death Star.

...and a clause in Sinatra’s contract required the producers to ask Frank if he wanted to star in any sequel and let him say yes or no before they could offer it to anyone else.

It was the scene when Ego’s flower-bomb-thingy went off that was planted behind the Dairy Queen.  They were in the car that was about to get hit by it just as it stopped doing whatever it was doing. (I don’t remember Guardians 2 that well.)

They were still alive in Guardians 2 which was set in 2014. Endgame was only 9 years later, or 4 years if either of them got snapped. Not so unlikely that they would still be around. It’s a moot point since it probably won’t happen anyway, but it’s fun to imagine.

Endgame gives the impression that they headed right back into space (with Thor tagging along) as soon as the dusted remains of Thanos had settled. I’m betting that’s what happens, but I would love a scene where Quill takes advantage of being back on Earth to go see his grandparents.  For all they know, he disappeared…

I get it!   ‘Winning Hand.  Card Counter’!!!   Somewhere Gene Shalit is reading this and regretting his retirement.

And then he made a movie with all the Unbreakableworld characters…..and it sucked!!!! TWIST!!!!

“And he disrepected the Wu-Tang Clan.” should be carved on his headstone.

I was going to make a joke about the rules requiring everyone to quit and walk away from the game at a random point without knowing who wins or loses, but then I realized that’s how most games of Monopoly end anyway.
