A turkey. I think I was warned before paying any money to go see? Somehow I think Cleveland is part of it?
Back then you had friends who provided movie analysis 10 times better than any critic. Pretty sure they steered me away. Ah, the untoppable power of word-of-mouth, yes yes...

A green-throated barb goose, so named due to its bright blue tail. Only one barb on any goose contains venom but the prey never quite figures out which one, in time.
A sensational one-handed photo! Barb gooses fly sideways at 92 mph and to catch it freeze-frame in a perfect patch of sky... Whoa!

Hosers! This is like ordering a cake and inside the box is only frosting. They're probably making free calls to Australia on your phone before they deliver it...😲

Gotta be some helluva script, good luck! 👏
In mine, waistline is exploding, walking speed decelerating, contact lenses falling (down drain) and microwave busted so no nuking. I'm waiting by phone for lucky producer (after I find the charger).

Eon Productions sensed, I'm thinking, that they had to hit a home run first time at bat. Perfect British spy, villain - and 2 Bond women who stepped confidently into their independence, their ability to pace Bond throughout. This, along with other early films, matches up well to Ian Fleming's novel.

Love. It. Technically I voted 4 times, I guess? H. Clinton in the 2008 primary, 2016 primary, 2016 general and of course K. Harris in the 2024 general. And it wasn't because they're women; they simply outshone the competition, back to front.

Yeah, hmm... I seem to recall - maybe? that somebody did exactly that, um, darned, uh, all I can remember is that his last name has a vowel at each end (oh, and I voted for him twice) but hell, if I could remember... DARNED!🤔

"Lord Baltimore?"
That's right, and he said Baltimore could track down any man, anywhere, day or night?
"Yeah. So?"
The guy on the ground, I think it's him.
"Nah, it couldn't be him. Baltimore never leaves Oklahoma, you know that. I don't know where we are, but it sure as hell isn't Oklahoma!"

A quite talented stage actress - she who reacts perfectly right at the end of those passengers at the windows.
What a colossal film - had everything you want...

Yep, and they both were named Alicia. This one time in Iowa, I remarked to a guy named Ray Kinsella, "I best be getting on home before Alicia thinks I've got a girlfriend..."

I used a pseudonym when hitched to both ex-wives, so they never got to do this...🤔

• Yes. Follows the Rule of 3s. Anytime you have a lengthy number and you want to know if it's evenly divisible by 3 (and who WOULDN'T wanna know that?), just add the digits up. If that number is evenly divisible, then so is the biggie like this here one:

I was jeelus of EVERYONE who got to see its first run in 1975. Darned movie-going public!
This hit screens 10 days before I left for Navy boot camp. I had my own thoughts of survival and missed it.
10 weeks later, after surviving boot camp - I saw Jaws mid-September. STILL showing everywhere...😲🦈

Truer words were never spoken. She has the gift of persuasion and I hope she'll consider a career in American politics.

In truth I had one like that, too (the Western). Chopped out lots of good stuff, but that confounded 90-120 page rule is unbreakable. Especially for us un-produced, un-optioned writers...

2 tough New Yorkers - one from The Bronx, the other Manhattan - duking it out in this terrific pilot episode. I think it's my favorite of the entire 35-year run. Dead-on performances from everybody. Grant as the lead was similar to Faye Dunaway in a later episode; acting just doesn't get any better.

Page 154 is the deal-breaker for me. At that point the script Freddy-Kruegers me all the way back to page 43 and I stay there - drinking coffee and never sleeping...😲

I concur. That a reason (among many) no intelligent life has visited is because they went extinct prior to acquiring such capability. Like us, they're stuck with vast distance, power source, unending time to get somewhere, etc.
Crazy thing is we don't have to go extinct. We could succeed.

And we live on a planet that annually grows WAY MORE food than all the people on Earth could ever consume. We even pay farm owners NOT to grow food.
We are pathetic. We use food as a weapon against each other when it should be of least concern.

Mr. President: Sorry you had to endure this day commemorating the freedom of millions of your fellow Americans from the scourge of slavery.
Only July 4th is next, when we declared our independence from a tyrannical king. And then nothing for the rest of July. Nothing for the entire month of August!

Where's the Baked Alaska I'm taking home?

Dunno. I put it on that shelf, there.

I see fries. Onion rings.

Try again!

OWWWWWWW! I... Okay as I reached for the shelf, I tripped over the milk crate and the cake flew into my mouth!

A truly astonishing woman, born in the same city as my grandmother. Untoppable as inspiration. Rereading her bio, found where she was asked by the King family after MLK's fateful day in April, 1968, to helm the Civil Rights Movement in his place. Surrounded near the end by so many she inspired...

Yep - such an excellent referent - and I really mean the film versus book. I read the book as a kiddie and was all, well...
The key was NOT casting Shirley Temple like they wanted, but casting someone older during their crossover from child to adult. Opened everything up. A colossal work of art.

It's pure rock & roll. This one, but also Star Wars - so much of that original film based on The Wizard of Oz...

"Life goes on. A man become pre-eminent, he is expected to have enthusiasms. Enthusiasms. Enthusiasms.
What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? BASEBALL!
A man! A man stands alone at a plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement!"

Right? And how could one NOT, assuming such a person had more than just a brain stem for decision-making?
