What’s Meg Ryan but a second-hand emotion?

Indeed, that was half the intended joke.

Birdy died on the way to her home planet.

Well, back to being America’s sweethearts, eh?

“…So that’s it? We’re really just going to call the show ‘Thai Cave Rescue’?”

I am loathe to defend someone for using the word “edutainment”, but the fact is movies have been distorting and exaggerating history since the birth of the medium.
