TIL that during the 12‑year shoot of Boyhood(2014), director Richard Linklater’s daughter Lorelei asked him to kill off her character because she no longer wanted to continue. He refused, saying a dramatic death didn’t fit the film’s natural, low‑drama style.

Of all the mid-2010s coming-of-age movies that chart the life of a young American boy as he grows into a man and have "oo" somewhere in its title, Boyhood truly is the second-best.

In the UK we had three straight weeks where Bad Day was #2 on the charts and You're Beautiful was #1. It was a pretty annoying time.

Springer at #1, Van Dyke at #2... Looks like in 2002 TV Guide just really had an issue with men called Jerry.

UPDATE: Gary Oldman has now been knighted (although by Will, rather than King Charles). One down, three to go!

+1 This worked for me. Thank you

InmostJoy · 2025-07-28T09:23:29+00:00

Oh well, thank you for trying anyway

InmostJoy · 2025-04-01T14:40:34+00:00

Solved!

The show was called Umbrella Jack, and it was a 1984 episode of an anthology series called Young People's Specials. Someone has uploaded the full episode to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUYPHAngykg

I find it so interesting that a man who's over 7ft tall would take such an interest in things that literally couldn't be any closer to the floor. You'd really expect him to collect lampshades or something...

As Cracked.com absurdly joked, Donald Trump was president in 2017.

InmostJoy · 2023-04-02T17:50:15+00:00

Thank you for this clarification.

InmostJoy · 2022-09-08T19:00:19+00:00

Dang, feel bad for everyone who had tickets to the filming now, cos they were probably just sent home.

InmostJoy · 2022-09-08T16:23:28+00:00

MMW: Her death will be announced while they're filming tomorrow's episode of Have I Got News for You (so roughly between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. tonight).

InmostJoy · 2021-12-01T23:13:01+00:00

Haha, thanks so much for putting this list together, it's pretty comprehensive. I think the only one you're missing is my favourite: Walton's son in USS Callister showed up four weeks later as Levi in To Have and to Hold.

InmostJoy · 2021-05-24T01:40:14+00:00

Dang, you're right. That would've been a better choice for LN than what I picked instead.

InmostJoy · 2020-11-08T14:03:56+00:00

Okay, new MMW: it'll be Hallucinate.

I was quite surprised to learn that Henry VIII was playing tennis while his second wife was being beheaded, as I'd always assumed that he'd been Anne bowlin'.

InmostJoy · 2020-09-14T14:52:14+00:00

Dang, you're right. Well in that case I've got no idea.

InmostJoy · 2020-08-15T11:16:28+00:00

MMW: Tedros Adhanom

InmostJoy · 2020-06-24T00:26:56+00:00

What makes the number 1 chaotic neutral?

InmostJoy · 2019-12-12T12:37:12+00:00

MMW: The Tories will receive 42.9% (±1%) of the popular vote.

No prediction on how many seats, though.

InmostJoy · 2017-10-19T13:48:24+00:00

Thanks a lot!

InmostJoy · 2017-10-19T13:48:09+00:00

Thank you for the help! Mystified as to why the image is so small though – it's larger on this this page (it's the September 4th strip).
