It takes ages for these trends to reach the Northeast. Especially Pennsylvania.

They’ll bond over the obnoxious and arbitrary demands of the senior Wights, and quietly subvert them —

And I’m now intrigued by the implication that there’s some kind of latinx Morrissey fan base of which I was previously unaware.

I remember Eva Larue co-hosting the Candid Camera revival back in the early ‘90s, and she truly hasn’t aged a day.

I thought Daisy Ridley matured noticably in the 2-3 years between the making of The Force Awakens to The Last Jedi. That posed something of a problem only because of the decision to have the action of the latter movie commence literally seconds after the preceding one.

I seem to recall that Santorum was supposed to change desks at some point during his term under the protocols for such things, but ended up staying put to maintain him as the official Candy Desk proprietor.

I don’t remember the skates, though I never actually went there.

I don’t really know what the South’s Wal-Marts were like back then, but as I recall, the food element of the Northeast’s K-Marts and various equivalent discount stores (Woolco, Two Guys, Korvettes, etc.) was pretty rudimentary — Mostly candy and snacks.

Of course, “Fact” on the show often meant that the story might be an urban legend, but wasn’t technically made up by the writers.

Indeed. There are certain problems inherent in the device of foreshadowing events in your “stingers” that haven’t been more than roughly outlined. I question whether any actor or director could really get a proper feel for these characters working from a single sheet script. And is is known for certain whether Gunn…

Shiny metal, and bite-proof, I should hope.

Nah. It’s right near the start because the board path loops around on itself, but there’s no option to skip the whole game. There are a couple of branches in the path, but nothing that drastic (and, in the mid-20th century version, no discernible advantage to choosing one over the other).

My take was that the fights were real, but kind of half-hearted — That Sansa and Arya both felt the ties of kinship strongly enough that it was easy to fall back on them once they had any reassurance.

There’s really no choice in that -- the game follows a fixed path, and when you get to the end, you can basically wager everything on a spin in an attempt to win, even if you’ve been left in the dust by another player. In the ‘60s/’70s version, you went to “Millionare Acres” if you just kept your earnings, or the…

MB actually significantly modified the game itself. Back in the ‘60s & ‘70s, the only major choice in the game was with regard to career — College (on which path you’ll land on something like “teacher” or “journalist” that dictates your regular salary thereafter) or Business (which yields a much lower salary, and…

I have fond memories of a group of friends hunching over one family’s Apple II, playing Deadline, all of us reading the dialogue aloud in awful Clouseau-esque French accents.

When I went to see Iron Sky, there was some sort of slip-up, such that a half-dozen FOX previews ran, followed by the first couple minutes of The Watch. At that point, a manager entered amid shouts of “Where are the Moon Nazis?”. Everything was soon back in order, and no one was traumatized, but it was an interesting…

Jack Lemmon actually played a sort of supervillain — Professor Fate, in The Great Race. Get the CGI guys to pull a Peter Cushing on him, and we’re go!

Now we really need a superhero movie where the villain’s scheme is to make his quarterly sales quota AT ANY COST!

I first saw the Patterson-Gimlin clip in Sun Classic Pictures The Mysterious Monsters in a theater back in 1975, but only about a decade ago did I see a stabilized version on the web. It really made clear to me that all that breathless speculation about the subject’s “distinctive gait” was a load of crap, and it…
