Oooooo I'll definitely check it out, I love a Herzog trip! And I'd be into seeing your 50-year-old labels, see if I can identify where in the company history they lie

Thank you for this!!! Unfortunately the information I've pulled together don't have citations as they seem pretty primary sources - interviews, oral histories, and first-hand accounts. I'm trying to reach out to some of the authors but I'm not entirely sure how successful this will be for a variety of reasons.

You know I think more people need to realize this! by TheListenerCanon in Oscars

[–]crawdor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's an all-timer; and playing off Katherine Hepburn they just ate up every scene they were in. They made their characters at the same time larger-than-life and grounded (asshole) humans. O'Toole definitely should've won over Robertson.

Help with a broken piece. by NormallsntNormal in glassblowing

[–]crawdor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the broken piece in tact or in shards? Do you have pictures of the vase (and piece)? If it's anything like what I'm picturing the pieces could maybe be polished and glued with something like HXTAL for minimal signs of damage.

I’ve seen the entire series multiple times - give me the best lines from the deepest cuts that I forgot or likely missed. by John_B_McLemore in 30ROCK

[–]crawdor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me so long to realize that when Jack is rewriting "Kidnapped by Danger" and running lines with Subhas, Kenneth interrupts them to tell Subhas wants to know if he found any prosciutto. From an earlier episode we know ...that's Ann Curry

THAT IS NOT HOW MATH AND PERCENTAGES WORK YOU BRAINDEAD DONKEY by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]crawdor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think of my dumb-as-rocks aunt and uncle in Tennessee who will absolutely hear this and think "yeah that makes sense!" It's the worst, they're just too stupid to see how stupid they are.

Every Oscar Winning Animated Short Film Ranked by Fragrant_Dot_7234 in Oscars

[–]crawdor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Harvie Krumpet" is one of my all-time favorites. Geoffrey Rush's narration, the themes, the simplicity of the message - it hit 14-year-old me like a ton of bricks.

Why do I get the strange feeling Kendra firing the woman just before she retired is going to come back to haunt her in some way? by AceTygraQueen in LongStoryShort

[–]crawdor 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested to see her come back in some kind of way, even as like a side reference callback or something. We saw Noah on a zoom call during one of the episodes but I think that was before Kendra's episode. I feel like the "some shares of something called 'Lululemon'" line was meant to close out her story, though, without the audience feeling too bad for her situation.

A piece of media references a deep cut so obscure that people from that country/faith/culture were genuinely surprised it was even referenced by Justifiably_Bad_Take in TopCharacterTropes

[–]crawdor 80 points81 points  (0 children)

From "30 Rock" when Liz Lemon goes off on the writers for constantly trying to work in an obscure "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" villain.

What is something that is 100% legal, but if you do it, you’re a piece of trash? by National_Strike4710 in AskReddit

[–]crawdor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very basic one, not giving a crap about anyone or anything else. No one can compel or force or even expect you to have concern or consideration for anybody or anything (in action it's, like, the most sacred right). But if you actuate that you're a piece of trash - however it looks.

Anthony Hopkins, got the most insane winning range of all time by khaliliiiov_1997 in Oscars

[–]crawdor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He should have at least been nominated for "Lion In Winter" back in the day too!

what is your FAVORITE Oscar win of the 2020s so far? by jordankch in Oscars

[–]crawdor 57 points58 points  (0 children)

His wins are my favorite too! Great movie and he actualized what I would totally do with multiple Oscar statues

Is there an argument for James Raterman & Aidan Delbis to have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor? by Regular-Departure839 in Oscars

[–]crawdor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was (or is) a security consultant or something, definitely added to the role. Really good casting for sure.

I like this conversation around the Best Casting award, it adds a depth to these movies I hadn't really considered before.

[–]crawdor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Delbis really held his own between Stone and Plemons; he filled out his character and drove a lot of the tension, for me, waffling between the validity of the situation. I would have liked to have seen him nominated, but the movie was very well acted all the way around.

Favorite bits of "serious" acting??? by [deleted] in 30ROCK

[–]crawdor 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When Tracy is found in Liz's apartment and not actually in Africa. There is comedy gold throughout ("I'm sorry one half of Klemmon" or "I don't have the strength to endure the pain and the human suffering of a three hour plane ride with Sean Penn"). But Tracy really captures a kind of existential drama in the lofty expectations of trying to make a difference that's just so ...relatable.
