I love Mitchell Leisen. He’s a pet project of mine, heh. Whenever I get the chance to woo someone into Classic Film World, his movies are top of the schedule. People can find and do Casablanca on their own, but most people won’t trip over Remember the Night or To Each His Own* unless they’re put on the path (and good…

I love Midnight; it’s a crime that it’s not better known. Every scene between Claudette Colbert and John Barrymore is a quotable gem.

They are pretty common, decades before TRoS, before the galaxy-spanning civil war that created the very different world in which Poe and Finn live. All the clones are dead by then, as are the majority of the Mandalorians (and their culture exists in hoarded bits and pieces, nothing like still survives even under…

Weird, I actually have a Netflix disc of this show at home right now. Sorry, anyone who’s waiting on Disc 2 of season 2.

That’s a very impressive fort. Clearly he avoided being traumatized by The Dog Who Stopped the War, though, unlike some (*cough*). No awesome snow forts, never, not even once.

Generally, though not 100% consistently, Central City is St. Louis (that’s the “central” part), and the props crew have given us multiple “we’re in Missouri!” Easter eggs like license plates and ID cards over the years. But there’s no escaping the fact that they film in Vancouver, and it affects the visuals of Flash…

Wow, weird timing, that was on TCM Underground tonight (1/31).

Oh! Okay, yes, I agree (and I’m glad it wasn’t just me not getting it. Again. Sigh.)

Am I missing a joke there (entirely possible), or are you thinking of something other than Double Indemnity?

Yes. We’re getting a spinoff on Netflix, though.

If it were funny, that would be refreshing. Instead it’s just more of the same, dull, condescending bull. It’s “Wham! Pow! Comics Aren’t Just for Kids Anymore!” with bonus sexism. We’ve heard this joke too many time to fake laughing.

Mick used to watch Baking Show, but he left when Mary did.

It’s casting, but it’s also excellent prosthetics work. They reshaped her face almost entirely.

It’s moved from Netflix to Amazon Prime, at least for now.

Years later and I’m still mad about that American-style pie nonsense. Pettily downgrading for using blueberries or matcha or whatever just keeps that American pie papercut from ever healing.

Sure thing. And you’re right; Chris Wallace isn’t a patch on his father, for all Mike’s many faults. He’s too much of a water carrier.

The late Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes, or his Fox News-employed son, Chris Wallace?

That would make sense, and I’m sympathetic. It’s just unfortunate he was able to transform his own experience into religious law so effectively, because hoo boy, did that have repercussions.

Hey now, we Jews are not giving you the Song of Songs. You guys came up with “yay, celibacy!” (well, one of you did- Paul? Sounds like Paul), so you can have some appropriately restrained sex tape. We came up with “be fruitful and multiply!” and “sex on the Sabbath is a mitzvah!”, so we get to keep the sexy ointments…

He did one episode of a show that was on for six seasons. I mean, it was a nice gesture for a friend and all, but making it “Republic of Doyle with Russell Crowe” seems a bit unfair to Allan Hawco.
