When people wonder how the MCU movies got so popular it's because of scenes like the family dinner with Florence Pugh BRINGING it.

Also it would have been weird since the part is the girl the young ML stand in has a big crush on!

ML put her in his semi autobiographic TV movie "The Longest Runner" around the time of the show's second or third season and I wonder if that might have rankled Gilbert.

They're like Vin Diesel and the Rock in the Fast and Furious movies now! If they had digital technology back then they could have did a "Good Wife" and put Melissa in scenes with MS without them having to interact. Thinking about it, you know Landon would have gone nuts if he had had access to CGI technology!

I knew Hayley Atwell was going to be in the upcoming Mission:Impossible but not Pom Klementief too.

The irony of Bonfire of the Vanities is all three leads would have been actually been perfect casting five years earlier. The audience would have bought it if it was Bosom Buddies/Bachelor Party era Tom Hanks, Something Wild era Melanie Griffith and Moonlighting era Bruce Willis. They could still be convincingly sleazy onscreen in 1985. However post-Big Hanks, post-Working Girl Griffith and post-Die Hard Willis they were the new nice guy, sweetheart, and hero.

Emma Coburn looks like 1960s actress Yvette Mimieux(The Time Machine, Where the Boys Are).

Its true to life. One of my favorite Rebels moments is when Hera's reunited with her dad and she and him and have an argument in private and her real accent slips out. It was great seeing her and Chopper and I loved the scene where she and Omega talked.

Wow, season 2 had Uncle Fester, Uncle Joe from Petticoat Junction, the Skipper from Gilligan's Island, Jeannie and Dr. David Bruce Banner! In season 2's "The County Nurse", Mary Simpson, the nurse Andy has a crush on is played by Julie Adams from The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Then a few episodes later in "Three's a Crowd", I guess they couldn't get her back because her character is played by a completely different actress! She's now played by the blonde defendent from the Dick Van Dyke Show where Rob has jury duty. Barney drives me nuts in that episode. For the love god take a hint, Andy wants to be alone with her and doesn't want you around! I hate when Andy is annoyed by Barney. I posted earlier I'm glad the final image of Barney and Andy was the reunion movie and not Andy pissed off at him for tagging along on his honeymoon in the Mayberry RFD pilot. After seeing Barney at his most annoying it was glad to see him at his best in "Andy On Trial" a few episodes later. His speech on the witness stand was Don Knotts' finest moment on the show. A terrific episode even though that female reporter was too old to believably pass as a college student! I recognized the actress from the Bonanza episode "A Woman Lost".

Favorite Easter Egg in the episode was the Thanoscopter:

Behind the Scenes of The Goonies.

Also just remembered he directed the original classic Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 feet" written by Richard Mathson and starring William Shatner:

So I'm watching this old show I never heard of called "Crisis" originally called "Kraft Suspense Theater", an anthology that aired from 1963 to 1965. The episode was titled "A Hero For Our Times" starring Lloyd Bridges as an executive with a wife and 3 kids who is at his mistress' apartment one night when he sees a woman being murdered in the building next door. He anonymously calls the police and quickly leaves the scene. The police arrest the wrong man, an old janitor at the dead woman's building, because he is a drunk with a criminal record. Lloyd Bridges then has the dilema of whether he should come forward and risk his marriage and career to save an innocent man. The innocent man was played by Reverend Alden himself, Dabs Greer! Then I was surprised to reading the closing credits who played the real murderer: Victor French! I totally didn't recognize him without his beard:

As someone who grew up with Glenn Ford as Pa Kent in SUPERMAN and was particularly affected by his death scene I disagree. I think he's good in Gilda and The Blackboard Jungle. It's the same with the two astronauts in 2001. It's very purposeful. When Kubrick wants someone to EMOTE he'll do it like Jack Nicholson's performance in The Shining.

Good episode. I looked up who played the senator and it was Alexander Siddig, Dr. Bashir from Star Trek Deep Space Nine! Nice touch with Echo being the one who was the most against working for a Separatist. He has understandable reasons. The story with Omega and Cid was fun.

She also needed to get a device from each team to cause the timeline to splinter. If she could take down a bunch of armed TVA hunters through hand to hand combat every time she met them she would but she would eventually lose. She wasn't just doing it to be a sadistic or for the kicks.

The people at Roxxcart we're all going to die anyway because it was an apocalyptic event. As I said she needed to get the devices to empty the TVA. There were multiple armed people after her and as far as we know she only has combat training and enchantmenting one person at a time. What she did was brutal but from a practical standpoint an effective way of taking them all out without risk to herself. They filmed their deaths like a horror movie with her as this faceless figure to make her seem like this scary threat to viewers but if it was filmed from her POV with the TVA being the menace we'd think she was being clever and resourceful.

Even that had a purpose. She wanted to get the TVA's attention so they would prioritize hunting her down so she could get those devices and distract them all so she could get to the Timekeepers. I'm glad Mobius might still be alive but I was looking forward to posting a gif of Tom Hanks in Castaway yelling "WIIIIILSONNN!!!"
