Barney standing at attention for the national anthem at end-of-broadcast is just such a great character moment.

"What did you name it?"

Delightful film.

"Richie loved to use .22s because the bullets are small, and they don't come out the other end like a .45. See, a .45 will blow a barn door out the back of your head and there's a lot of dry cleaning involved… but a .22 will just rattle around like, uh, Pac Man until you die."

"What the frig is this?"

Store Clerk: "Have a nice day!"

Those two films are not bases to be covered. They are the knowledge that one is playing baseball at all.

An individual who has not seen Animal House or Casablanca probably shouldn't be espousing opinions on popular culture for a living.

it's probably insensitive to joke about priest molestation, but I just couldn't resist Eleanor Rigby

Look at him lusting, rubbing the spot up his thighs where his vestment had been, lost in a dream

I love it when newspeak just pops up!

"Look at the care with which I have constructed my ensemble. Look at the smooth material of my glass frames, the tartan of my hat, the height of my scarf… doesn't it all give me the affect of a stately little gent?"

I found Parade's End to be very well done. The difficulty with that time period, for me, is always WWI itself. I can't imagine any place at any time in history I'd rather not be than in a trench at the Somme or the Marne. The physical and mental stress must have been absolutely terrible.
