Winning a Golden Globe in 1999, Caine openly talked about all his "take anything that offered a paycheck" roles. "So I made a lot of crap. But I made a lot of money too so I can afford to be more picky." And the next year, he wins an Oscar.

Breaking into the Sith base in KOTOR which includes a puzzle game of trying to mix water from one room to another.

So confirmed now in various articles how Black Siren is the Earth-2 Laurel, wondering how this could have been. We know on Earth-2, Oliver died in the yacht sinking and his dad became the Arrow instead. So question is, did his death drive Laurel to somehow gain powers and become a crook? Or maybe on Earth-2, Quinten

Actually just read her name is Black Siren.

Odds on one of those villains being the Earth-2 Laurel Lance?

All of which proves what I've known since I was six years old reading collected books of this: Charles Schultz was one of the most insightful philosophers of the 20th century.

Seriously, you have Sutton Foster and you waste her in a 30 second bit?

Seen folks saying "this felt more like a season finale" and such but guess they wanted to end on thier own terms and let's face it, this is a show that loved leaving things up in the air so much.

As rough and as underwhelming as this was, Marguiles was just so damn captivating throughout that you had to feel it. Especially that slap, she sold the "what the FUCK" reaction as an honest shock, proving Will's words right: "You have less self-awareness than anyone I know."

"All you really need is love but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."

I'm sorry…nothing for "It was a dark and stormy night…."

"Speak softly and carry a loud beagle!"

One line that sticks out is Gene Hackman's Republican Congressman presented as so to the right that he dislikes Bob Dole as "too liberal."

The only fandom that loses it shit at changes more than Star War/Star Trek? Disney theme park fanatics.

"After losing the two previous vehicles we had been issued, the only car the department was willing to release to us at this point was an unmarked 1987 Yugo, a Yugoslavian import donated to the department as a test vehicle by the government of that country and reflecting the cutting edge of Serbo-Croatian technology."

Gannon: "Friday, do you even know what time it is?"
Friday: "Yes, sir…"
Streebeck: "Oh, please, don't ask him that…"
Friday: "It's 4:27 AM, sir."
Streebeck: "He lives for that, it's in his blood…."
Just wonderful.

It is just so bizarre seeing young Tom Hanks as the comic goofball. Seriously, in 1987, if you'd told me this was a guy who would be a back-to-back Best Actor Oscar winner and revered producer/director/activist, I would have laughed. Yet it works.

I actually always wanted to see an Escape video game. Just seems so great, Snake in New York or a new city (Maybe the Cleveland bit they talk about), rummaging around, killing baddies, side missions and Russell doing the voice, would have been awesome.

I worked in a movie theater in 1996 when this came out, very low crowds for it. A telling bit is when the trailers came out with "Snake is back" and I could hear folks in the audience going "who?"

White Snake Moan.
