It’s kind of funny because you mentioning that made me realize that Christopher Reeve is the first instance I know of this, adding muscle for a film role. I wonder if he was the first to do so? He said the same thing - pure misery, he hated it. He was a real beanpole too.

I just want to say: you can’t never see no dong on a boy cat. But it’s kind of sweet that the writer thought he should.

Ah yes!

Ah yes! “Fill ‘er up!”

Right, I assumed it wasn’t accidental, or a mistype - why “-likkar”, is my question. I’m not actually sure what you’re saying in your post, and thought maybe the spelling could be a clue.

What do you mean by “bootlikkar”? Serious question, why “-likkar”?

He played a couple of leads early in his career (“Sisters”, “When A Stranger Calls”), but became 100 percent character actor. Don’t forget “Best Little Whorehouse In Texas”!

I was on a date once with a guy who said those exact words about, I kid you not, “The Simpsons”: “it shouldn’t be on, it gives people ideas”.

Uuuuuh......I do not think you are what you appear to be. I do not think you are making this argument in good faith. I do not think you are not an agent of a foreign power working to sow dissent in the U.S. for political reasons.

It’s been - uh - forty years, and I still see “Marlena and John” and think it’s a funny way of spelling “Don and Marlena”.

I don’t really see the result of this being that prices for anything will go down...say, who’s paying you, anyhow?

Which was exactly the case seventy years ago! The studios stopped making so many films once they no longer had guaranteed venues.

You’re not sure how block-booking would look now? “You can have Star Wars only if all of your other auditoriums are showing our product as well” seems pretty plausible. Maybe they will make more smaller films to fill their venues? which, ok great - and exactly the situation was which the court-ordered divestiture was…

I used to take inordinate pride that my spelling was freakishly impeccable - right the first time, every time, every word. Then, around - oh, around maybe 40 or so, maybe - I started forgetting how to spell certain commonly misspelled words, like “benefit”, “calendar” and “embarass”. “Embarrass”? I think it’s just a…

I’ve never heard things too. It’s fun.

As is “known”?

“Favorite Pop Culture Moment". I had to think for a sec, aaall the way back to 2010. It's the Bad Romance song/video (first time I heard the song was with the video, and they're inextricably tied for me). It MOVED me, and the video in particular SPOKE to me. I don't know still what exactly it said, but it changed me…

I really liked the spacewalk/spacefloat. I realized later that, in her upright posture and serenely collected demeanor, she reminded me of nothing so much as Mary Poppins. Which I personally thought was 100% cool in its implications. 

Yeah, I’d say definitely not a boomer, at least not in the sense of being a product of the post-WWII baby boom. Although Wikipedia says “1946-1964", and he was born in 1964, so...that seems like an awful long boom though. I’d have thought the cutoff year was 1960.

Nothing original to add, but my experience with Voyager was that there were fine episodes here and there, the majority were not fine episodes, and overall the good ones were worth sifting through the rest for. It did become more consistently good once Seven of Nine joined the cast.
