Dorothy Malone in her one scene in The Big Sleep: She was so nervous filming a scene with Humphrey Bogart the prop department had to put rocks in the bottom of her cup to keep her hands from shaking.

10 minutes before the end of every episode: Mr. T welds something!

I bought the Ronin DVD about one second after it went on sale. The behind-the-scenes videos and director’s commentary are very worthwhile.

You probably remember this scene in the movie when Robert de Niro shoots a bazooka at the car he’s chasing. The chased car explodes and flips. John Frankenheimer says in the…

But making an effort to be there for family or friends is what they’ll remember

Old guy checking in. I saw Poltergeist in my 20s.

In the original series, Thomas Magnum was a former Navy SEAL. That fact came up just a few times each season. There were many episodes where his military background was never a topic for discussion.

BMW’s HQ building was the HQ for the Big Bad corporation in Rollerball (1975).

These Final Hours: Life as we know it on Earth will end within 18 hours. What do you do? This movie is not Shakespeare but it’s pretty good for its genre. Also, the last scene of this movie was shamelessly ripped off for the end of Rogue One.

After one of their practice sessions, a journalist noted that Nancy’s outfit was by Vera Wang and that Tonya’s outfit looked like a “trailer park shower curtain.”

I once heard a co-worker describe another co-worker like this: “Having him show up to work is worse than two good people calling in sick.”

Academy Award nom for Best Actress two years in a row...

The tshirt is OK also.

I don’t clearly understand his role. The article says he was the “Chairman”. Was he elected by a BOD? Did he OWN all these publications outright?

Another SF native here (I was born in a hospital on Sacramento St. and lived in the city until I left for college), backing up your comment about friends.

I have one friend from childhood who still lives in The City. Only one. Every other person I knew while I was growing up has moved.

Wow. I had not seen that before. Thanks. Original article in New England Journal of Medicine.

Welcome to Virginia..... Democrats have won every state-wide election since 2009 but repubs dominate the state legislature because the state is gerrymandered out the wazoo.

Since the state legislature draws the federal district lines, the current Congressional delegation is seven repubs and four democrats.
