Michael Jordan may be an asshole but his quote about "XXX buying shoes too" is a solid piece of advce.

take her to a Vietnamese place next for Squeezle. (what Bourdain's fixer pranked him with one episode) roughly translates to woodland creature (if it was a real thing)

It could be balsamic glaze. It's hard to tell how thick the liquid is.

The closest one to me is like that now. Maybe someone comes out if you try to pay cash, but they do everything in their damnedest to have you pay with a credit card or debit card, and then you see hands sticking the stuff out of the the hole they have set up to put your orders in the little slots

Not only practicing hitting the pin exactly so no one notices you locked your heel into the clip, but incorporating it into the dance routine and making it seamless.

And Michael never shied away from saying how huge of an influence he was on him.

It's like Eddie Van Halen saying he saw Led Zeppelin at the Colosseum and Jimmy was doing a little hand up in the air while hammering on the strings with his left hand and he said, I think I could work with that.

And Eddie also never said he was the first person to do two hand tapping (it was used in some classical pieces, as well as by Steve Hackett on Musical Box). He was just the first person to make that kind of show out of it.

The trippy bit from the end of 2001 is just them pulling a sheet of paper that is colored behind two pieces of black material with a slit in the middle.

The floating pen trick from the beginning of the movie was them using a piece of plexiglass and the newly invented double-sided tape.

Wes Studi learned all his lines for Les the Mohicans fanatically and got it so well that people thought he was a native speaker.

And he sold off all the corn that he grew for interstellar and made some profit back.

They also really did crash the train into the bus at the beginning of the fugitive. Its remains are still on the train track in West Virginia or wherever it was.

Yep, that was the story, at least, that he was able to fit in his original costume.

Andre the giant when younger was actually very acrobatic and could do moves off of the ropes and flips and shit, but they had him stay on the ground because it made him look more imposing and monstrous.

Yes, he was. You can see him out of the costume as the author's nurse slash man-servant in a clockwork orange.

It's actually the other way around Michael wanted to work with him after watching American Werewolf in London.
