    What's the best mystery / detective movie ever made? My personal favorite is Double Indemnity, but I can also see arguments for The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, The Third Man, The Thin Man, Vertigo, Laura, Chinatown.
    Now you're making me sad that Comcast removed TCM from my mid-tier package and made it an add-on package.

        It's actually impossible for me to watch one without thinking of the other, which is very very strange.

          Rumor running around that Cavill is the next Wolverine. Weird.

            Well Wolverine is a rather one note character that broods all the time so Cavill fits

            (I know Wolverine can be more than that and I actually Like Cavill as an actor but the meme works so shut up!)

                  I'd go 5:1 that Dump can't grow a mustache. At least a good one. 10:1 that he can't rock a beard.
                  Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                    He's blonde (more so than me, assuming he hasn't just bleached and colored since the 80s). I'll admit, we blonde/dark-blonde dudes struggle on that front. After a clean-shave, it takes 3-4 weeks to grow something that doesn't look "homeless".

                        Remember the movie about the rich elites who hunt humans for sport, but was shelved because of the mass shootings (and Dumpf feeling attacked by it) last fall?


                        Turns out, Universal Pictures has decided to release it anyway.

                          Sweet.

                          Although, it is just the same as Battle Royale/Hunger Games. That being said, excited to see it.

                            Watching American Grafitti on my flight back to DTW. Love Richard Dreyfuss with hair, but Paul Le Mat is the real scene-stealer in this one. Ron Howard is just kinda there, being Ron Howard.

                            Also interesting to see a George Lucas movie that isn't Star Wars or Indiana Jones.

                              Two fun facts about Indiana Jones:

                              1. Lucas wrote it as "Indiana Smith."

                              2. Clint Eastwood was supposed to play him, which would have been awful.

                                3. In the original script we see 37 year old college professor Indiana Smith fooling around with one of his students.

                                4. Marion is 25. Their relationship ended 10 years ago. So when she says, "I was a child," she's being literal...
