“Geez, Frank! Can’t you see I’m having dinner?”*

No Screamin’ Sicilian? My favorite by far .....

I just want to know -- did they ever find the Dufresnes?

Apparently, it’s a really bad day for pollen here in Middle Tennessee. Yep, the pollen must be really, really bad. There’s no other explanation for my eyes watering like this.

You really can’t mention the scene from “Raiders” without mentioning that it’s sort of a tribute to a stunt that Yakima Canutt did back on “Stagecoach.”

Great analysis, although I’ve only seen the first two versions, not the Streisand version or the current one. You could have also mentioned “What Price Hollywood?” (1932), which was sort of the embryonic version of the story — except that in this case, the rising star and the self-destructive mentor aren’t involved…

“and a few enthusiastic, non-cogent comments from Quentin Tarantino.”

I was just about to leave the same comment -- at least, the Parkyakarkus half of it. And he was not just Albert Brooks’ father, but also the father of “Super Dave Osborne” (Bob Einstein).

Apparently so, although I wouldn’t know why. I want to say that the nutrition facts on the package are for the shelled inner kernel by itself, although I may be wrong about that.

I thought the same thing. The story is weirdly worded, as if this was an upcoming project. I’m watching it right now.

No, he means Chris Berman and Radovan Karadžić in an episode of “Anderson Cooper 360" about the Cookie Monster’s eating disorder. 

Its Krien Time Again:

I live in rural Tennessee, and we haven’t had Bojangles that long -- I like the restaurant, but I am not sure I’ve ever had the fries before. Anyway, I went in there to eat today and ended up buying a four-pack of the seasoning, which they sell in the restaurants as well. I like it.

Turner Classic Movies occasionally runs episodes of a 1950's-era program called “MGM Parade,” which — even though the show itself was essentially a half-hour infomercial for MGM, its current releases, and its back catalog — had an outside sponsor and commercial breaks. Often, the commercials are left out, but the…

“However, if you look at something else Law adds, it suggests his mentor may have an Uncle Ben-esque role, and perhaps even an untimely exit....”

Not only that, but she stole the Barefoot Contessa’s first name!

I live in Tennessee. I first discovered Tony Chachere’s in 1995 -- the year he passed away, ironically enough -- when a church from Opelousas participated in a home repair ministry for which I was a board member at the time. One woman who was on my work team had little restaurant-style packets of the stuff and handed…

Tony Chachere died in 1995, but he would still like a word with you. https://www.tonychachere.com/Original-Creole-Seasoning-Multi-Pack-P1268.aspx

Have the PETA people contacted you about beating a dead horse yet?

I like the Hidden Valley ranch dip mix that’s slightly tweaked to work better with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream (although the regular ranch seasoning works well too). And I make my own yogurt (in the Instant Pot), so I frequently have some on hand.
