And that ending line started out as just a placeholder until they could come up with something better, but then no one could. And it ended up on Billy Wilder’s tombstone.

The real joke there is actually that magicians do tend to prefer the word “trick,” as it better implies they actively did something.

Nicely hiding how the Herman makeup was actually bright purple, since it oddly looked the best when the color was drained out.

“Take her away!” And this is BEFORE he found out she was his bratty daughter. He’s just like, “AGHHHHH! THIS BITCH!”

As someone born after the original trilogy was completed, I’ve been fascinated with the idea of how in those pre-Internet days, everyone spent those three years between Empire and Jedi arguing over whether Vader was telling the truth, even though Lucas had never intended it to be in question. And of course Jones…

Though a bit compromised by how the Emperor turns out to be perfectly happy with how things are going once he gets there.

Superbad has a bigger cultural imprint than Avatar. You may not like it, you may not have even seen it, but you know the name McLovin.

We did briefly see him at the wedding feast.

For non-book readers, Harren the Black, the first lord of Harrenhal, was actually a Greyjoy, and Aegon burning the castle around him is why they’ve just been pirates ever since.

Good thing Rhaenys wasn’t in the episode, or we might have to question why this half-Baratheon woman has perfect Targaryen hair.

In the book, everyone does such nasty stuff that you’re just left hoping they all die.

She deserved a much bigger career than she got, but fell victim to Hollywood’s impossible beauty standards. She even made a guest appearance in Wonderfalls referencing this, as a woman who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel but had her spotlight stolen by a more conventionally attractive woman who claimed to have…

Chris Noth just got killed off on The Equalizer, while the Sex and the City reboot also axed a flashback scene after it had the good fortune to have already killed him before the story broke. I’m kind of hoping we get some offhand reference to the death of his weird spoof Trump character in Doctor Who, too.

She also said if she’d gotten more scenes like the one in her death episode where she talks with Worf about her recent tournament, she would have stayed.

I’ve also heard that after Dabney Coleman’s stroke forced Jimmy into a more prominent role in the storyline, they decided there was no way in hell they could sell Nucky letting Jimmy live after he’d done some of the things that were planned to be the Colonel.

Plus, thanks to the vagaries of how the copyright of Tolkien’s work has been split up over the years, they’re actually legally forbidden from using certain parts of it.

Also the sleazy Twi’lek butler in Book of Boba Fett, who I would have sworn was actually Matt Frewer under that makeup.

This show is so good that all the self-proclaimed biggest Star Wars fans are going to hate it. And it’s going to be beautiful.

Ewan MacGregor is even Denis Lawson’s nephew!

And of course there’s the way just about everyone my age first learned of the Baby Jessica story, Bart Simpson getting stuck in a well.
