Garrison Keillor's line about "All the children are above average."

She could do that. In All About Eve, she's an actress at a party who calls the butler "Waiter".
George Sanders: "He's not a waiter, he's a butler."
Monroe: "Well, I can't call him 'Butler'. What if someone's NAME is 'Butler'?".
Sanders: "You make a point. It's an idiotic point, but a point."
The look in her eyes…

The bit about reading him his rights and then beating him to death.
Oh, and if you want a dimwit in I Love You To Death it's Victoria Jackson - except it's not an act.

And yet, he was brilliant. Instead of piling lie upon lie and causing people to get suspicious, he just told the DA about the woman's sexual advances.

Some actors can be amazing. For years I thought Mickey Shaughnessy was a moron, because that's all he played (especially in Designing Woman and Don't Go Near the Water) until I saw him on TV being interviewed by Johnny Carson. He was incredibly articulate, telling stories in different accents, portraying his…

Hey, that actor has a name! I don't know what it is, but I'm sure he has one.

Is it because they changed the ending where Charly realizes the horror of his future and the fact that (like Algernon) he's going to die? At the end of the movie he's on the swings with kids and she's looking at him like a sweet child, not the victim he is.

Although I hate people who think "street smarts" means they are not stupid

It did have one really great line. Where a guy points out that he's where Lucille Ball used to be and Brooks tells him "I wish you were where she is now."

"This just in. Six veterinarians have been found decapitated and the cats scheduled for neutering at their clinics taken. Also the home addresses of their owners are missing."

Great article for Independence Day. I mean Hogan's Heroes was moronic but at least the heroes were on our side. Why not just broadcast "Nazi Supermen are our superiors."

So true, but they still put in all that work and people are looking at a wristwatch someone bought. Must be frustrating from a creative viewpoint.

You may want to read Eric Ambler, who I think may have invented corporate criminals like The Eurasian Credit Trust in “A Coffin for Dimitrios” (or the movie version “The Mask of Dimitrios”)

I think the end of the Cold War has not been kind to Le Carre. His corporate evil novels do not live up to his earlier work.

Yet it works both ways. Carre's "The Looking Glass War" and "The Spy Who Came From The Cold" show Smiley and Control as the betrayers in service of their own agenda.

I'm so glad I don't notice things like that. I get worked up when the plot makes no sense but then I read something about "Well you know, Ford didn't use that kind of mirror until 1957, two years after the time the movie takes place."

I really do have to wonder what the people who made the movie think of this kind of story. "We built a goddamn shark! It ate one of the stars and then blew up and you're spending time on some actors watch?"

My favorite, among many, is "There must be a lot of competition for that corner."

Damn.

I swear to you I was about to create a satirical post claiming that the sinking of the Titanic was a "false flag" operation saying that if you can't produce the iceberg (‪#‎ProduceTheIceberg‬) then there's no proof. I thought it would be funny and make a point.
But this is REAL and you can't outdo crazy. There is…
