Fool to cry

Looking at the Righteous Brothers is a good way to picture Luke and Han if Star Wars was made in the 1960s.

Found this interesting vid that makes a good point.

The movie was a co-production between Italy and the USSR and filmed in Russia and 17,000 soldiers from the Soviet Army were used as extras. I think the only thing you need to know is the Duke of Wellington(Plummer) and his allies held the line against bombardment and attack from Napoleon's army until the arrival of the Prussian forces turned the tide. They made a big deal about the Duchess of Richmond's ball because it was a real event and became a romanticized by artists after because of the drama of news breaking during it that Napoleon was coming and all the officers having to depart their ladies probably to their death:

That "Silk Road" drug trafficking dude is getting pardoned. I actually saw him get arrested in 2015! I was at the Glen Park branch of the library in San Francisco reading and suddenly the police had this guy in those plastic wrist ties behind his back and quietly walking him out. I didn't know what it was all about until I was home later.

Myrna Loy's great but if anyone should have played Shirley Temple's older sister in The Bachelor and The Bobbysoxer it should have been Susan Hayward!

I liked her too. She made Jack seem the more reasonable one but still passionate. The most disliked ADA seems to be Elizabeth Rohm. It was the way she was written because I liked her on Angel. Her final line will live in infamy as hilariously bad!

Gee I wonder why! 😉 My UO is that people take the awful behavior of sitcom characters waaaaay too seriously. They're not supposed to be role models who always do the right thing. They are meant to always do the wrong thing and then pay the consequences for our amusement!

It boggles my mind that there are two, TWO different movies where Hugh Beaumont(Ward Cleaver) is climbing a mountain in painfully long slow and boring sequences!

About Jeannot Szwarc, his best movie is definitely Somewhere in Time which is also Christopher Reeve's best non Superman role.

I think it wasn't just the money, it was the power. He was even more of a wolf than Brutus and he found he had a planet of sheep to rule over and make money for him. Its too tempting for a guy like that who already has Force powers. I liked Wim and Fern inspiring their parents to be courageous. Loved seeing B-Wings in action and using their laser function from video games! I like that the New Republic was seen in a positive light for once. They lasted a decade longer than the Empire. It wasn't a total failure! I for one want another season. They shot this season 2 years ago so if they start filming another one this year it will be like Chamber of Secrets skipping over to Goblet of Fire in terms of the kids appearances!

She was Baylene in Dinosaur!

It was his short lived late night talk show on FOX in 1993 that really sunk his career. I remember how painfully awkward and unfunny it was. To be a talk show host you have to be genuine and real when you're not telling jokes and doing shtick. You have to be a real person in between and Chevy was not comfortable doing that.

As bad as I feel about the cat who got fried in Christmas Vacation, it balances out Aunt Edna's dog being dragged to its death in the first movie.

The two Dr Jekylls, Frederic March and Spencer Tracy both being in Inherit the Wind along with Gene Kelly too makes me imagine an alternate Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde where March's Dr. Jekyll drinks the potion and instead of turning into a brute he turns into a happy-go- lucky song and dance man played by Kelly!
