Jeez, I just noticed the Spoilers podcast, which I haven’t listened to. I am subscribed, but don’t recall receiving a notice on that one. Still, on my walk, I’ll start the dessert island episode. When you guys went to the island, did you see Giligan or better Ginger or Mary Ann?
Well, I did bring it up. Of course having any kind of movie list always has someone questioning the omission of a film. Let’s just say Toy Story is number one for me.
I’m currently rewatching all the bonds (in UHD!) and loving every minute of it. I’m up to For Tour Eyes Only already, so plenty under my belt but plenty to go still.
Things like Marvel seem to be very popular, probably because there are so many movies. To be honest, they wear me out. I can't watch that much of them. The constant action and EFX make me kind of numb. I seem to prefer the "Dark" Marvel stuff like Jessica Jones, but those aren't movies.
I can appreciate the choice of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But your reasoning for the Bond movies is one of the key reasons I am enjoying my current run through the series. The changing styles, music, dress, effects work, budgets, etc., make it a fascinating compare and contrast exercise.
I continue to wonder how many of the presumably millions of people that have heard The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" over the years have any clue who they were talking about when they said "I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle!" Like Jerry said, it's more of an obscure thing that comedians know.
My father was a Jazz musician, and while he never worked with Buddy Rich, he knew a lot of people who did. Nobody who ever worked with him had a single nice thing to say about him.
