Yet here he is, a moderate liberal, doing something genuinely positive with his time and resources, and here you are, progressive bona fides and all, being internet mad about a TV show.
Your mileage may vary depending on your love of the show, but as a die-hard Wingnut, I was completely enthralled from beginning to end. When a shot near the end cut from the staged production to footage from the original episode, it was so seamless I didn’t even notice it for a few seconds. Sterling Brown was…
Is it a bad sign for ageism in Hollywood that Uma Thurman is stuck in boring mom roles, or is it a good sign for ageism in Hollywood that Uma Thurman is playing the mom of children younger than her actual children? Or, alternatively, is it a good sign for ageism in Hollywood that Uma Thurman is now playing DeNiro’s…
“Shout” and “Twist & Shout” are different songs. Both scenes should be on the list though
I was shocked -- shocked! -- that the La Marseillaise number wasn’t included on this list.
Can I just throw the opening to “Get Over It” out there for consideration? Not only is it a musical number in a non-musical, it was a one-shot with pretty decent/complicated choreography.
It sent ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ to #2 on the Billboard charts nearly two decades later! Hell, I’d argue that this scene is why ‘Rhapsody’ holds its modern-day status as possibly the most beloved rock song of all time.
In fact, it probably stole that crown from ‘Stairway to Heaven’ - which Wayne’s World also makes fun of.
Not to mention that most of the extras were actual French refugees who had just fled the Nazis, which makes that scene an even bigger gut-punch.
Navin R. Johnson did NOT die because the new phone book is here... M. Emmet Walsh (shown in 10/19 “My Best Friends Wedding” photo) took a few shots in his general direction, and some oil cans may have died... but Nathan lived on, to invent the OptiGrab™, battle with Ironballs McGinty, and find his special purpose.
I have to add my all-time favourite to the list:
‘nuff said.
I’m not sure if kids cruise anymore but this scene spoke to an entire generation of young adults who had spent the weekends of their teenage years aimlessly driving around, looking for parties and rocking out when an iconic song came on the radio
I remember back in the good ol’ days when a comment thread like this would be full of good Simpsons quotes and a couple interesting discussions about race and representation. As opposed to now when there are no good quotes and just a bunch of racists throwing a hissy fit because there will be a different voice on a…
Fun fact about Brodka, he thinks that police only kill people because they resisted arrest, defends blackface, and thinks BLM is run by “white anarchists”. I recommend hitting the dismiss button on his comments.
They must have gotten tired of socking it to that Spiro Agnew guy.
An Undercover Boss parody as the season premiere jesus this show is so tiredddddd
I remember my high school calc teacher wheeling a TV into our room mid-class without a word to show us what was unfolding post-explosion and how grimly quiet it was in the class. Even if it weren’t mid-pandemic and I weren’t looking for anything mindless and funny to distract away from life, I still am not sure I…
I was only 2 when the Challenger accident occurred, so most of my memories of it are likely from long after the fact. However, my parents were both educators, and my dad was particularly excited about the prospect of a teacher going into space. His science class exchanged letters with McAuliffe’s class and followed…
8 year old me could not process this thing. I wanted to be an astronaut and we got to watch the launch in school. It kinda fucked me up and made me act out in weird ways, like I became obsessed with terrible jokes my uncle made about the disaster. It landed me in kids therapy for a few years.
