How long before we have team colors and logos? All I wanted was one, JUST ONE, reference to the Holiday Special! This would have been the perfect opportunity, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! If Rod Serling is not involved, it's not Twilight Zone. Period. Green Card! Whenever I see her, I think of that movie! It's her defining role. When Bob Seger had his first big hits in the mid-1970s, I've been told that many people assumed he was black just from hearing his voice on the radio! Don't forget Monica Lewinsky! A world without smart phones! Don't forget Rose! STELLA!!!!!!! (Don't forget his cameo in Superman!) You're forgetting 1993's Men in Tights! Attached to their parents? Don't you mean attached to their phones? They're not interested in taking over the world because it would require them to momentarily set their phones down, or at the very least, look up from their screens. From 1983, "Big Log" by Robert Plant. Whenever someone uses the word "sweet" regarding another person, what they are really saying is: "You're not a bad person, but I wouldn't be caught dead with you in a social setting outside of the context we already know each other." Manfred Mann's Earth Band deserves their own special thread for this subject. Just off the top of my head, they've done phenomenal covers of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light" and "For You", Bob Dylan's "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)" and "You Angel You", The Jam's "Going Underground", Joni Mitchell's "Banquet", and the Beatles' "Hey Bulldog" among many others! Michael Giacchino, especially for his score of Inside Out (2015). How about the original actors: [url]https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Mad-About-You-Reboot-Details-44458274[/url] Why would they end the franchise if it's still bringing in so much money? Agree 100%. Nothing makes sense, all characters are unsympathetic, and the pseudo- "scientific accuracy" is laughable. If it hadn't been released on the coattails of Star Wars, today it would be a "camp classic". It's become the ultimate example of a "popcorn flick", 2 hours of smugly self-congratulating mindless garbage masquerading as entertainment. Admittedly, the 1970s were a dreary decade in general, but this movie is the ne plus ultra. George Lucas. Whether on not the philosophy "works" or not can be argued until the end of time. What Moneyball did change in Major League Baseball is that now the perceived superstars are the general managers and front office. When you root for your favorite team, you're really cheering for the deep-thinking academics who hire managers to be their mouthpiece to the public, and players to help them implement their plans. This is in line with Moneyball author Michael Lewis's idea that 99.99% of everybody are idiots, while only a few elite geniuses know what's really going on. Lewis's books (regardless of the field of interest) are really just unabashed idol-worship of (to use his phrase) "card-counters in the casino of life".
