She looked at the model boat and it put her into a trance. Perhaps that? No, but seriously, she was constantly being mansplained about how to be a good woman and to come down from her pedestal - I think "high priestess" was thrown around - and maybe we're supposed to believe these talks put some sense into her? Anyhoo, did anyone notice the weird gray makeup on Frank Sinatra? And towards the end when we get a full shot of him from the left, you can see a gnarly scar on his face. Apparently, Sinatra's mom had a difficult birth and the doctor had to use forceps on the baby's face during delivery, which left a huge scar.

Tracy wanted Dexter to become a “serious composer” or a diplomat, but instead he became a “jukebox hero,” which is not a reputable career, I guess?

That's the kind of classist thing I was talking about. It wasn't enough that he was successful. He needed to be successful in a "respectable" (i.e. blue blooded) kind of way. But after she says that, it's never really an issue again. After she says that to him she seems pretty into his music and I guess we're supposed to infer that something in the plot occurred that made her have a change of heart.

It worked out ok for Lou Gramm, I guess, but you don't want to count on that kind of dumb luck.

This is a really delightful show! And now of course I'm starting through Magnum, PI because I've never actually seen any full episodes before.

If you don’t love me at my wurst, you don’t deserve me at my brat.

Wouldn't want a pedestrian under your weird old Aooga car.

I have not seen Philadelphia Story (I own it, but I’ve been saving it to watch with Unspooled), and I have to say, this isn’t what I thought it was about at all - lol. Overall, I thought it was fine, but a bit too light to be substantial. Nothing felt necessary. It felt like they could (or maybe should) have introduced maybe some more class conflict. I mean, it’s kind of there, but not enough that you would believe it was making any kind of statement. Things happen and they’re resolved. It’s plotting all felt very sitcom-y to me.

I liked some of the music and Grace Kelly but mostly found this film a little dreary. I feel like I've already forgotten it and I finished it like 10 minutes ago.

It appears from Paul's twitter that Pulp Fiction will be sliding in there next week before Bringing Up Baby 7/18 - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 7/25 - Pulp Fiction 8/1 - Bringing Up Baby

If this movie cost $10 million, it must have all gone up their noses. maybe this movie was actually a money-laundering front? BTW, I will never be able to look at a fast food deep fryer in the same way again. That’s a scene I wish I could unsee. Not kidding, just wipe it from my mind.

This is exactly my dilemma. Fuck killing people during the Purge I'm breaking into the zoo to play with the red pandas God damnit!

I feel like it's implied he also cheated on her? Like her dad did to her mom? Which if so makes sense that she left his ancient ass Fun fact about All About Eve Celeste Holms HATED Bette Davis

the prophecy will be fulfilled

I remember when I was a kid, visiting my grandmother's house and looking through some of her old Reader's Digest Condensed Books. One of them was Jaws or a sequel to Jaws, and while I can't guarantee this is accurate at all, I have either a memory of a fever dream of reading a scene in that book from the shark's point of view, and it does indeed want revenge for the death of its babies. And sharks can smell pretty well I guess? The implication was that the shark somehow imprinted on its nemesis like a werewolf with a vampire baby.

thanks! I made the beat for something else but decided to put some quick vocals on it for a plugs theme. I've been listening for around 5 years now and just finally got around to making one I'll make some more though because it was a lot of fun!

Hopefully the gang gets round to doing Jaws The Revenge as well, because that takes bad film-making to an unprecedented, operatic level of shit. The shark is after the Brodies. How does a shark know the Brody brother works for Amity Police, and that he's on duty that night and will come to clear the trap at the harbour? How does the shark know that the other Brody brother works in the Caribbean, and that the Mum is going to fly down there? The shark is *waiting for her* when she gets there - does it have access to airline passenger manifests? Can it use a computer? I have a theory that in Jaws The Revenge the shark is in some kind of aquatic FBI and the Brody family are the antagonists. The first shark was unethically hunted by the Chief and his accomplice with the fishing boat. The second was investigating that murder and was electrocuted in a murderous cover up with the help of a complicit Amity community. In Jaws 3, another shark is investigating this seagoing crime family, and stumbles on the rampant animal cruelty and exploitation at Sea World, and not only pays with her life trying to expose it but her child dies at well. Jaws The Revenge is in fact a downbeat policier following a relentless shark FBI agent who won't rest until the Brodies pay for their crimes. He's crossing all sorts of lines because THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL. His captain at the precinct says "That's it Jaws, you're too emotionally involved, I'm taking you off the case." "God dammit Cap, not when I'm this close!" "OK Jaws, you've got 24 hours, and if you're wrong it's your dorsal fin in the fire..." In the end there is no justice for the sharks because the humans are too powerful and ruthless. Forget it Jaws, it's Chinatown.

This is a damn perfect movie. I have no idea what they’ll be able to say about it...
