Fool to cry

Kat Mandu on Happy Days:

Oh I know it's going to be bad, and weird and wonky like all the other AI videos I've seen! I'm just curious if an AI is going to put every trope in. The townspeople in church singing "Ringing in the Sheaves", Nelly bullying, Harriet screeching, Doc Baker being somber, etc.

I think it's just that he was a jerk. Just watched the first 10 minutes of season 4 episode 6 "The Case of the Wandering Widow" and am now going go look up when Agatha Christie's "Ordeal by Innocence" was published. ETA: Where the hell was Hale? Where the hella was Della?

The French Connection and The Exorcist are still amazing films and I just saw Sorcerer for the first time last year. Nail-biting suspense. Loved seeing his interviews and commentaries too.

I would love to see an AI generated Little House episode.

Watching the first episode of season 4 "The Case of the Treacherous Toupee". Boy that Perry is a real legal eagle. A natural not like ordinary people or even all the President's men. Can take the sting out of any indecent proposal. Reminded me the way we were taking that flight out of Africa when the sun danced on that condor for 3 days...okay I'll stop.

Well Barbie is bigger financially but Oppy is doing damn good for a 3 hour drama. I like the new Indiana Jones but looking at it from the perspective of someone who didn't grow up watching the Indy movies it's an action movie starring an 80 year old man. That's more ridiculous than a movie about a doll. Even if it was amazing I don't see gen Zers clamoring paying ticket prices to see it.

In the earlier Hemingway episode the actress who played the British publisher seemed familiar and I realized she was on Star Trek The Next Generation as Worf's human adoptive mother who was Russian. Sorvino played Worf's adopted brother in a later episode(basically her son). J Now watching Jean Simmons, who was also on TNG as the Starfleet version of Senator McCarthy ("I've taken down bigger men than you PICARD!!") is playing Jessica's mystey author rival. And she's married to the White Shadow!

Well it's supposed to be a Film Noir takeoff so the characters are supposed to be that way. I didn't really get the point of the English guy being there. Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless beat Angela so many times at the Emmys by then I guess the writers didn't hold back! Love Jerry Orbach as Lenny Briscoe but not as Harry McGraw. The next episode has Paul Sorvino who Orbach replaced on Law & Order.

Thoughts watching season 5: Holy crap it's Megan Mullally! Are they doing a Cagney and Lacey parody? Grady finally got married. There are 2 episodes where Jessica is involved in a spy plot and they each have someone from Grease 2 in it. Nice film noir homage starring Mannix. Are they taking a shot at Mariel Hemingway(Actress granddaughter of a famous macho writer)?

Much preferred thst version to when they later remade him as a pathetic loser "Peter" played by Chris Elliot. Russell was an opinionated snob, like Jack Black in High Fidelity, much closer to comic store guys in real life. Reuben was also great on Murphy Brown as one of her many secretaries.

God, this scene still makes me laugh "PAGING MR.HERMAN." RIP.

In Rebels he was literally a cartoon with Billy Dee Williams voicing him as the smooth talking gambler which he really wasn't in the OT and TROS. The series could be more of that or seeing his arc from scoundrel to "businessman and responsible leader" when he becomes administrator of Cloud City. I don't remember the term "Robosexual" said in the movie.

I like this: Also this makes my Cheers loving self feel old. People now only know Rhea Pearlman(who plays Barbie's creator Ruth Handler) from Matilda?

The Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary concert(30 years since his first album.

I saw Almost Famous when it came out and liked it. The scene where Penny almost died is a deliberate homage to The Apartment which Cameron Crowe acknowledged in his book where he has conversations with director Billy Wilder. A movie which came out the same time was a remake of The Apartment was Loser with Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari who had just been in American Pie. I also saw that in the theater and halfway in was like "Wait a minute! This is The Apartment but with college kids!" It was directed by Amy Heckerling the director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which Cameron Crowe wrote.

"You missed!" "Did I?" Supercut.

Unpopular Opinion: I enjoy Mission:Impossible 2, the one MI fans consider the worst of the series. It's ridiculously campy in a fun way and is so year 2000 it makes me actually nostalgic. I think the real reason it's disliked is it's so blatantly a Tom Cruise vanity project while the other movies have at least the pretense of him needing a team like the old show.

It just now occurred to me that although Joss originally named Cordelia after a girl who bullied his wife in school, she actually became like the Cordelia in Shakespeare's King Lear, someone who's not afraid to speak the truth even if it's unpleasant on BTVS and ANGEL.

But I think in the scenes she did have she was used correctly. The Marion and Indy scenes felt off in Crystal SKULL because they were trying to make it comedic when they're interactions in RAIDERS were mostly serious. When I saw them get married I kind of shrugged. When I saw them reunited at the end of DIAL I got choked up. And the recreation of the "Where doesn't it hurt" scene from RAIDERS? Brilliant.

Olivia Colman better make into the finale, SI makers or I swear....

I know there are probably those who thought Mads should have died a grislier death like previous villains but seeing this smug Nazi scientist realize his years of planning turned out to be a collossal waste because he didn't account for one crucial thing was satisfying enough for me.

I don't know but I saw the trailer before Indiana Jones yesterday and George Lopez's last line got a laugh. The kid is from Cobra Kai show and I hope this one turns out to be a sleeper hit the way the first Karate Kid was.
