I think you’re underestimating how many of the comments will be grumbling about the slideshow format.

Any list of classic black-and-white films that does not include at least one of Duck Soup (1932), A Night at the Opera (1935), or A Day at the Races (1938) is a list that is a criminal exclusion of the greatest stars of the black-and-white era (that first is my favorite film of all time.)

Um... “Rear Window” was shot in color. Eastmancolor to be exact and one of the 50's Hitchcock movies to famously suffer from “yellow layer failure.” I have no clue where the idea that it was shot B/W and colorized came from. It was also shot 4/3 but with an intended 1.66/1 performance ratio.

Surprised to not see “The Third Man”, but this entire comments section is going to people people grumbling about their expectations not being included in a list of 10 films.

She wore a prosthetic nose to play a darker-skinned Black woman.

For some reason this reminds me a little of that interview with Thandie Newton from last month where Newton pretty clearly stated in no uncertain terms that she still defends the intentions of the movie Crash and believed in what it was trying to say about race, while the interviewer kept bending over backwards trying…

An actor should not apologize for playing anyone. Why should an actor look exactly like the person they are portraying. They did a movie about Bob Dylan where 12 different people “played” Dylan, including a couple of women. The only thing I see them doing wrong is trying to make her look like Simone. This kind of…

“Isn’t that what acting’s about? Becoming someone you’re not?”

Securing the music rights for the Freaks & Geeks DVD release was all on Shout! Factory, who put out the set, not the producers. The amount of work they put in to get the music rights for WKRP in Cincinnati was nuts and they still couldn’t get all of them (though had they not gotten Tiny Dancer, it would have been all…

The most I think I’ve ever cost one of my shows was 50k; that’s happened a couple of times, actually. Once, we didn’t have a music supervisor yet, and I was asked to put in some Christmas music. I did the only logical thing - I used the version of “Let it Snow” from Die Hard. Another time, we DID have a music…

That’s one of those Screenplay Writing 101 rules: don’t get married to a specific song in your script or you’ll get raked over the coals. Louis CK says he got “Who Are You” for $9000 only by pestering Pete Townsend over the phone.

I don’t know about that. Prior to season four John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer were only being paid about $20,000 an episode, so that one joke was apparently three times as expensive as the entire performance of major characters.

Yeah. Hate to be a party pooper but this story is missing a vital piece of context, which is what it generally costs to clear any song for this kind of commercial usage. Seriously doubt that $60k is vastly above market average.

His stage name wasn’t Eddie Creative Commons...

This company ships its onions outside the USA (the “International” is a bit of a hint possibly), so this isn’t just relevant to Americans. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has posted a food recall warning of Thomson International Inc’s onions right here.

If you have them in your freezer, I’m guessing you’re going to cook them before eating?  (I’m assuming people don’t use frozen onions in salad).  If so, you’ll be fine (any cross contamination from handling would have happened when you chopped them).

unwashed clothes touching the “filthy” (read: black, for those passive racists out there!) belt,

In the freezer?!? hmmm... never heard that!

Hmmm, does pickling kill salmonella? Just pickled a red onion a few days ago.

I could cry! (if only I had onions).
