I watched this several times today. The raw energy/dancing and the direction really make this pop. I have not seen this film but now that I found it on YT i definitely will.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I’m genuinely surprised that they’re not getting up and walking out. What a fool. What an embarrassment to the United States.

This is peak Bengals dumpster fire. What an absolute embarrassment this organization is.

Dave’s last episode for NBC. He goes to GE to drop a basket of fruit as a gesture of goodwill. GE owned NBC at the time.

I was an extra on Old Man and the Gun in 2018. i sat pretty close to Robert Redford (and Sissy Spacek) all day in a diner for a scene. It was an absolute treat to hear them chitchat between takes. At one point they were discussing the merits of gummy bear melatonin.

36 years ago in 1989 the Stones made the cover of Time and the headline includes “Aging stars”.

The Cars’ most popular song is “Drive”. The Cars. Drive. I don’t think we collectively have given The Cars enough credit for how funny it is that they wrote a song called “Drive” or ourselves enough credit for it being their biggest hit.

I saw someone post this kind of breakdown so I wanted to make my own. It’s interesting how solid season three was (imho). Short Fuse would have ranked higher but Roddy McDowall’s performance is truly grating throughout. #columbo

I love Roger Miller and I love this song so I decided to take a stab at it. My son helped me record and mix it. I am happy with how it turned out. Hope you enjoy.

If you’re a smoker and your name is Larry, have I got a surprise for you.

Apparently cassettes can sell for big money these days. Here’s an example. I never thought cassettes would have this kind of collector pull. I definitely wouldn’t guess that a Blink 182 tape would fetch over a grand.

Scrolling this place on sundays: Sunday news show asks republican a question. Republican blatantly and lazily lies.

Lets not forget that Indy got drunk with a monkey

I do remember this being an issue from time to time. Sometimes it’s because the film is up for rights renewal and the studio pauses exhibition until it’s worked out.

Gonna have to drive up for this one in 70mm.

Kroger is going all out to convince you that you’re saving money

Thank you, Brian Wilson. Thank you.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Here’s a one minute song for your day ❤️🙏
