Since these are written in a context of the overall scope and progression of superhero movies, how could you not mention the cameo in the post-credits (mid-credits? Don’t recall) sequence? A callback to the most notorious flop in Marvel cinematic prehistory, give or take an unreleased Fantastic Four movie.

The redesigned restaurants will make it harder for you to be able to tell when a new batch of fries has been turned over
Kenji Lopez-Alt, in a column about unitaskers that he thought were a good idea, mentioned the Whirley-Pop, and that was what tipped me on buying one for myself. I had bought one many years earlier as a gift for my sister back when her children were small. (Mine is actually the Great Northern brand, not the Whirley-Pop…
Our McDonald’s (I live in a small town in Tennessee) was torn down a week or two ago for a rebuild according to the new specs. I recently went to its sister location in another town, 20 minutes away, owned by the same franchisee, which opened back up at about the same time our restaurant was closing. It really looks…
I predict that not one episode will actually have time for Lindsey Buckingham.
Lake Neuron is my URL and web name, not my real name, but I was so delighted just to read this headline.
Yes, I live in a small, rural town in Tennessee, and I’ve seen them at both Kroger and Walmart.
I am an idiot. I have had both Zapp’s Voodoo chips, and Ruffles’ “All Dressed,” and never made the connection between the two. I am starting to see Zapp’s more and more often here in Middle Tennessee — in fact, I bought a bag of them this very day, from the convenience store across from the newspaper where I work.…
I just got through reading “The Last Days of Letterman,” an oral history of the last six weeks of “Late Night with David Letterman,” when a lot of Letterman’s favorites made their last visits — George Clooney handcuffing himself to Dave, Tina Fey taking off the supposed last dress she would ever wear on a late night…
Walt Disney was, at least at one point, highly suspicious of sequels. After a “Three Little Pigs” cartoon short did really well, someone proposed a sequel to it, and Walt’s response was “You can’t top pigs with pigs,” which became a maxim within the company during his tenure.
“The Hollywood Reporter also says that Jim Belushi paid $3,125 for a leather-bound Saturday Night Live script from when Hefner hosted and Belushi’s brother Jim was in the cast, which is sweet.”
Absolutely true.

I see your Michael Knight and raise you a Hutch:
I played Teddy in a community theater production of “Arsenic And Old Lace” just this past spring. Cary Grant reportedly *hated* his own performance in the movie, thinking it too over-the-top, and supposedly Capra was planning to do some reshoots before he got called away for his work in World War II, but I think the…
When I was in Kenya ten years ago, there was a story in one of the Nairobi papers about older Kenyan couples who had moved to the U.S. to be closer to their children and grandchildren — only to have *one* of the couple, usually the husband, get homesick and return. One of the people they interviewed specifically compla…
Hi-keeba!
This has gone about 200 miles past beating a dead horse. Can we please use this space for something interesting instead?
Well, I’m sure both of them told the story. I heard Rickles tell it on a talk show.
