Spielberg's movies do not always work (Always, heh), but he knows what he is doing with every shot and why. Even 1941 is visually interesting for the most part.

Yeah the first season was surprisingly cromulent even when accounting for nostalgia but it had nowhere to go.

And, yes, Barry and Dick still hang around the store even though neither work there anymore.

I figured it was not a bigger hit because a good portion of its target audience never sat through all of the music biopics it was spoofing. For example, if you have not seen (and remember) Walk the Line, there's a lot of very specific jokes that will not fully land.

There is a distinction between the initial tinkering, which was akin to fixing mistakes, and the "special editions" that redid things wholesale. The first few edits were made between the May 1977 original release and second prints made for wider release that summer, which was not uncommon then.

There were some minor tweaks to clean up shots and special effects between the first theatrical release in May 1977 and the re-release in 1981, which would have been the version on HBO (and VHS). So, yes, this London version would be modestly rougher than what you remember.

If not strictly by the tourist to population ratio, maybe New Orleans then? Or at least pre-Katrina New Orleans?

Stan Lynch, Heartbreaker: Oh, that kid? Just having some fun after an argument with my lady friend [actress Louise Foley, "Alice" from the "Don't Come Around Here" video]. And I really hate Bill Berry. He backed into my sweet GTO at a club once and didn't even leave a note. Mike Mills leaves a note.

CC: As I'm watching, Aaron says something, and Stan Lynch just blows up, bulging eyes, steam out of his ears.
AC: He raises up a paring knife, looks me straight in the eye, and says, "Never let any fuckers say I'm not the greatest drummer of all time." And like that, he disappeared into the crowd.

CC: I nudge Aaron that the guy at the snacks table was Stan Lynch.
AC: I walk over while he's cutting up a pear and say, "Hey Mr. Lynch, I'm a drummer too." He glares at me first, but sees I'm a kid and goes, "Oh yeah, who's your favorite drummer?" I blurt out, "I think Bill Berry's the best."

MCPO (ret.) Cal Cudahy: As we're walking up, I see an old navy buddy who was running security. I'd helped him out of a jam once, so he slipped me passes.
AC: We went backstage into some sort of meet and greet. Some Heartbreakers were signing autographs and posing for photos, but no Tom Petty.

Absolutely. It takes 25 minutes to pan sear a salmon fillet, cut and sauté half a zucchini and red bell pepper, and either boil, roast, bake, or even microwave small red potatoes. And if the potatoes are too challenging, here's a bag of salad. Make sure the silverware is clean and you're good to go.

Not Stan Lynch, but I cannot rule out that Stan Lynch once pulled a knife on him and said "if you ever let anyone say that someone other than me is the greatest drummer of all time, I'll come for you."

The bad news is that it was a security question.
The good news is that it was only for the Baskin-Robbins app, so all you are out is a free* single scoop on your birthday (*premium flavors excluded).

I thought the drummer in a friend's band was going to pull a knife on me when I did not say that Stan Lynch was the greatest drummer of all time.

Fox will send ESPN a very nice gift basket for using its biggest GameDay platform in years to promote its Big Noon game.
