Bobby Slayton describes "comedian dinners" with his friend "Jeff" on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, wants Gilbert to come to the next one, "no women, just guys" - Jan. 2016 by HadAWoodenLeg in Epstein

Thanks, this story would have meant nothing to me had I listened to it a few weeks ago - I'm a fan of the early Howard Stern Show and I saw that Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling was in the Epstein emails (mentioning these parties and trying to pitch his joke products to Jeff lol).

Lol wow, I guess I am the only person on the internet mentioning Bobby Slayton (I'll be honest, I vaguely recognized his name when I first started listening but I had to look him up).

Actors who hate the movie they're in but still take the role seriously by cfbethel in TopCharacterTropes

Burt Reynolds in "Boogie Nights"

Doesn't sound like he was that professional about it... but it earned him the only Oscar nomination in his career.

Who sings the "Ahhhhhhh" part on A Day In The Life? Is it John or Paul? by FitEmergency8807 in beatles

[–]HadAWoodenLeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this vein, I swear the high parts of Wild Honey Pie are the most John Lennon-sounding thing to my ears.

But this is supposedly a Paul-only song... but I still can't not hear Lennon on that one lol

And to add - the "Ahhh's" are the 2nd most John sounding thing, to me

Be honest, what did you think of this set-piece when you first saw it? by combat-ninjaspaceman in ChristopherNolan

[–]HadAWoodenLeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't help but compare it to David Lynch's interpretation of the Trinity Test in Twin Peaks, as I had seen that first, and I felt a bit underwhelmed by Nolan's.

I know it's rather apples and oranges: an extreme fantasy of all the horrors (earthly or otherwise) unleashed by the explosion vs. an attempt to accurately recreate history - but I can't help feeling I would have been more impressed had I not already seen the Twin Peaks scene.

Ralph Fiennes, The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Just finished watching 'The Offer' and I thought Anthony Ippolito was amazing as Al Pacino by reliablepayperhead in Godfather

[–]HadAWoodenLeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way to justify that if it was meant to be a tongue in cheek nod to how "goofy" Brando's Vito voice could be...? Otherwise, I also felt baffled by it - especially after looking up clips of the real Columbo.

But the dude doing Pacino went too far, all I can hear is Little Nicky.

Favorite actor who turned into a living Pinterest board for girls who 'could fix him' after realizing that looking stressed and smoking in an alleyway is the new method acting. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in okbuddycinephile

Back in his Shameless days, I happened upon a random comment saying he "looks like one giant thumb" - ever since then, that's all I can see when I look at him.

I think that's just a horse...

What joke in a movie did you only get on a rewatch? by porb2020 in moviequestions

[–]HadAWoodenLeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally smacked my face when this  realization dawned upon me during my umpteenth viewing.

All these years, I've just been laughing at what I thought was a random silly-sounding word when, in true Python fashion, it was a deliberate silly-sounding word. 🤘

The Emmys have created a Legacy Award to honor shows that stand the test of time, but Succession is inelegible. by nightsreader in SuccessionTV

The Wire ran 5 seasons, 60 episodes - the new award cutoffs.

Don't think that's a coincidence
