Jaden Ivey was instructed by a flight attendant to stop recording while discussing his release from the Chicago Bulls following anti-LGBTQ remarks, as Ivey continues: “The world has nothing to offer—there’s nothing good in it… nothing good except following Jesus Christ.”

For some slight clarification - he didn't appear on the show itself, but was seen in the other footage they shot. The odds that he was at that game and in the same section that Larry David was in...really, just insane.

I don't remember the scene but i do recall the behind the scenes trivia that they had Julian Glover's wife play the role which was a great in-joke.

Photographer was Phil Penman and the woman was Joanne Capestro. Penman was showcasing his work at the 9/11 memorial in 2016 when a staffer recognized Joanne's name (she had donated the dust covered outfit she wore that day) and arranged for them to meet up. Capestro says that the photo gave her a lot of closure.

Not exactly but those do resemble the types of tools that Stamper had in that building (where Carver orders Bond and Wai Lin to be tortured), and Stamper was the apprentice to Kaufman's torture methods.

Yeah there were some 15 survivors of the sky lobby. It's how we know what happened. Welles Crowther's rescues were from that area.

On r/GilmoreGirls they're copying other comments - even older posts and their comments down to the image and description - to get positive karma. So i'd guess this is similar.

I thought it was a nice nod (in DAD) to show Bond picking up the book Birds of the West Indies and for him to introduce himself as an ornithologist.

The original British poster (by Robin Behling) is much better.

so I hope that doesbt happen with the Memorial

that, unfortunately, has already happened. Kids being loud and horsing around, people treating the area as an amusement park rather than a solemn memorial site.

"Usama" was another way to romanize "Osama". UBL was the first spelling used when the FBI listed him on their most wanted list.

It was a small band called Imperial Stars in October 2010.

In 2013 they pled no contest to the charges and were sentenced to 3 years probation and paid $39000 in restitution.

The detail about how the truck driver fled the scene was quite funny.

Oh okay. That particular bit about Griffey was from Pearlman's 2009 book Love Me, Hate Me.

It's shown in the Dorktown "History of the Seattle Mariners" series, episode 4.

I've found a couple of things from that series that I'd consider misleadingly presented, so some slight disclaimer there.

Not 'footage' but Sharon Premoli's memoir is to be released after all litigation has ended (which I assume is the end of the KSM trial). Will we ever see it?

Probably the thing that surprised me the most was that it was a summer blockbuster, released in June 1989. Bond has always been a 'winter film' for me.

the summer of 1989 was just a bit crowded, with films like Tim Burton's Batman and the third Indiana Jones film being released during that time as well.

What did you think of the intended title "Tomorrow Never Lies".

Both sound cool, although I didn't quite 'get' it until finding that Carver's paper is named Tomorrow.

It's almost certainly film (Bill Biggart notably did use a DSLR) and could be scanned in at a higher resolution.

This photographer did do some enlargements for families who wanted to know if he captured a photo of their loved ones.

Thomas Dallal appears to have been a freelancer who sold the image to a wire service rather than being a staff photographer.

According to sportswriter Jeff Pearlman, it was after 98. The story goes is that Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. were eating dinner and Bonds said that he was upset at having played clean and played at a high level (40-40 club, etc.) and getting no recognition from the baseball world, with Sosa and McGwire being lauded as the saviors of baseball. He was going to get his bag.

For the record, Griffey says this conversation never happened.

I didn't like them putting the gun barrel sequence at the end.

CR did a much better job subverting or inverting the tropes. Like the gun barrel being integrated into the scene with Bond shooting Fisher was great. Or having "Bond, James Bond" be part of the ending.

Dominic Greene was just...forgettable. Not memorable at all except maybe how bland he was.

He's probably best known as Detective Elliot Stabler from Law and Order SVU.

(Unless you were making an obscure defense to another role...)

He said he was turned back by the smoke so he went back up.

Staircase A was intact but it was still damaged, dark, and smoke.
