No? Dammit, dammit, dammit!!

Oh, man! Michael Caine in the first week. Ipcress File, Get Carter, Wilby Conspiracy..... My collection needs these beauties.

One thing the Animals were known for was a lack of sappiness in their songs. Even their relationship songs had a tough working class sensibility. So, this one was something of a surprise, as it was unusually tender - for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTSO3U6ot0

I call my daughter Honey. When she was little, I called her Honey Bunny a lot. Now I throw the Bunny in once in a blue moon, but usually it's just Honey now. Sometimes I'll change it up to Sweetie or Corinney. But usually Honey. I've never called a girlfriend or a spouse Honey. But for years, my wife addressed me as Honey Bear.

Wuh - if that was what I had at home, I wouldn't be coming home, I tell you what.

Here's IMDb's page on it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080219/reference

Mine would say "Where the hell have you been all night?"

Andy was the guest host that week. 'Fridays' was on for 3 seasons - Fridays at midnight. I liked it more than SNL - it was funnier and had better musical guests. Michael Richards and Larry David were cast members. Jack Burns was the announcer.

In the early 80's, he was employed on the SNL-type show 'Fridays' on ABC and there was controversy when he attacked Andy Kaufmann as the show was ending because Kaufmann had screwed the show up at some point. Of course, we now know that it could all have been one of Kaufmanns "was that real or not" pieces of theater.

Perhaps he did in the RFD years. But see my explanation for him being alive below.

McNear died in 1969. In 1986, the movie 'Return to Mayberry' was made, bringing all of the old cast back for a reunion. McNear, being dead, couldn't be there of course. But, the producers apparently wanted to not have it that he had died - so there is a scene in the movie where a lookalike Floyd is standing out in front of his barber shop. No close up - seen from across the street - Andy shouts, "Hey, Floyd" and waves at him - and Floyd waves back. I thought that was nice - keeping the character alive that way.

Bull.

You do know that even though McNear died, the character of Floyd the Barber continued on, don't you?

Hah! Take some needles in the eyes some time and we'll see. I bet you'll be begging to watch those movies instead.

No mention of Floyd. Floyd cracked me up. When SCTV did its homage to the series, Eugene Levy played Floyd and was perfect. Funniest guy in the sketch.

Turned out it was all a scam. The guy only ate subs, but they were extremely dietary subs and he wasn't allowed to eat very many of them. Effective marketing, though.

Good choice. I love everything about that movie.

Animals singles were AWESOME, though. A great one

Was Johnson Tori Spelling's real dad?

It was hard to watch. Not because it was a poor movie, but because watching so many episodes of antagonism becomes frustrating to the viewer. The message of the movie is - everyone feels like a victim; like they've received unfairness somewhere, and often with regularity. And they're right, of course. Everyone experiences sh!t; everyone processes it to arrive at an experiential viewpoint. Lots of anger is the product of an extremely complex societal structure. Sh!t feeds the anger; anger supplies more sh!t.

I added one more point to my post below. She was using chocolate to fill that unhappy hole in her chest. She found that booze worked MUCH better. It was the answer - thank you, Jack - and hallelujah.

You said you didn't understand why she didn't want to change. I was just offering a thought. Such a highly dramatic representation of this 117 minute story may not have completely explored her condition prior to meeting Jack. If she took to booze that strongly, it must have played a pretty large part in soothing something inside. It's pretty clear to me that she believes she's in much less pain when she's drunk than she'll be if she goes back to being sober.

I think my favorite might be the opening credit sequence of Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (1968). I believe it's the l-o-n-g-e-s-t opening title sequence in history. Very cool. Another I like is the opening credit sequence of Walter Hill's 'The Warriors' (1979). It charges the viewer up. I'm talking about the theatrical cut, not the horrible comic-booky director's cut (although I can't recall if the credits were ruined or not. Other parts of the movie sure were.)

If that rather enormous assumption is correct, you may have a point. It doesn't seem to apply to the alcoholics I've known, seemingly happy as teens though they may have appeared to the casual observer.

Ahh, the American education system - churning out the best and brightest.
