(feel like a colossal dork typing this but) when Hangman lost the belt the first time it sent him on an almost three year spiral. after tonight’s loss he should win it back almost immediately to underline how he’s changed.

I don’t post much, but I’m doing it now for everyone’s favorite reason: TO SELF PROMOTE!

important note: Robert Aldrich’s movie Attack features the leading men of two different popular sitcoms cancelled during CBS’s β€œrural purge” in β€˜71. it also has Jack Palance and Lee Marvin.

Rocky IV feels like the most β€œreleased in July and stayed in theaters until December” movie this side of Top Gun, but now you’re telling me it was a Thanksgiving release?

John Larroquette? Drew Barrymore? Commandant Lassard? Altered States is great at having recognizable faces in blink-and-you’ll-miss-it roles.

is it bad that the Looney Tune character I most relate to is the stork who’s so hungover that he just drops the baby off at the first house he sees
