I'm going from memory here. So, correct me if I'm wrong. The Rank Organization was British and seemed really big from the 1940s to 1960s. If you've seen a lot of British films from this period, you've probably seen a guy hitting a gong preceding the movie; that's them. They've put out a ton of great movies, too. Powell and Pressburger put out a bunch of stuff through them. David Lean put out some movies with them. Like most studios (are they technically a studio?), I'm sure they put out some crap but it's not like the Cannon Films reputation. I don't know anything about Bugsy, but I assume it's an American film. So, I'm not sure I've heard of The Rank Organization funding an American movie before.

So, does anyone have any idea why, for one scene only, Eddie Arkadian wore a hair piece for only one scene in the movie?

Before that clip, I was not familiar at all with Guys And Dolls. I thought it was vaguely about 1940s gangsters and dames or something. So, that clip was about a stripping farmer. Not only was I confused about what Guys And Dolls was at a basic level, I didn't sexy farmer's daughter was the right role for Lauren Graham. She was absolutely wonderful and deserves all the success, but it's not on my list of "Things Lauren Graham Should Do Next." So, I start watching the movie and it is what I kind of thought it was originally and that sequence isn't even in the movie. I was able to eventually suss out that it was one of Adelaide's show numbers but I couldn't understand why a song famous enough for me to have heard of was replaced. Cam Bert's notes have only added to my confusion.

Incinerators are in the missing 40 pages. Which is the non-Simpsons "A wizard did it."

June posits that whatever is in the tank is a flesh eating mermaid. Is The Last Dragon in a shared universe with The Lure?

I have a big problem with the movie not being 10 hours long because I don't want this movie to ever end.

I'll accept cocoanut is gross. But I'm team coconut all day.

I think it comes up several times in early Peanuts because Charles Schulz disliked "cocoanut" in real life.

For some reason, I have very vivid memories of old Peanuts comic strips from the 50s spelling coconut that way semi regularly.

I have no trouble with unlikable characters as leads. I sometimes start having issues when the movie sides with them. I guess I didn't get how tongue in cheek the movie was supposed to be.

It's a 1950s Hollywood movie. I'm surprised the number is that high. Even movies explicitly about people of color still had white people putting on black face and brown face. But let's save that for if we ever cover West Side Story.

One thing I'm curious about is Sinatra really lobbied hard to get the Sky Masterson role. Am I the only one who thinks he's definitely a better Nathan Detroit than Sky? If he were sky, who from the mid 1950s should have been cast as Nathan. This is what kind of rubbed me the wrong way the whole movie. It goes with what Cameron H said earlier about things being fine because, hey, they married those dolls so it's all good now. Sky and Nathan Detroit were jerks at best the whole time to Sarah and Adelaide. So there was a certain grossness to everything (especially Sky getting Sarah drunk). I get this is a movie about petty gangsters and it's 60 years ago. So, the gender roles aren't expected to be modern but ughhh. Not to say I didn't like the movie but I definitely felt weird about these guys being our heroes.

I obviously can't understand whay anyone is saying but this is amazing.

All this makes me want to start reading the comics and watching the anime. This is the equivalent to if I suddenly found out GI Joe figures had a huge media franchise I'd never heard of. It seems strange that there was no effort to bring any of the Kinnikuman story to the USA.

Thank you for starting with the claw. That figure really stood out as a kid.I've been reading the Kinnikuman wiki and a MUSCLE toy blog since your first post which has given me some basic information which has cleared up many things I didn't even know I had questions about. For example, seeing multiple versions of Kinnikuman or Sunshine meant they were on a team when I was a kid. Now, I think they were the same character during a different gimmick/story/move set. Is that right? What is the story behind this one? Is it Kinnikuman dressed as a cowboy? I assume a parody of the USA? I also thought this was a mummy but this calls him a zebra. What is going on with that? I have to admit I've been looking at MUSCLE figures on ebay and I'm reminded of a toyline called CUTIES. Are these related at all or just US marketing tying them together to cash in on MUSCLE popularity at the time?

As someone who played with MUSCLE figures as a kid and had literally no idea there was a story to them, this is blowing my mind.

That's interesting about the glitch. I didn't know that.

Didn't the original series push Lara Croft as eye candy anyway. I avoided them at the time but that's the sense I got from friends who played them (that may have been purely teenage boys telling me how hot she was). The new series, based on the first game, seems like it's purposefully downplaying Lara Croft as sex object even if she looks like objectively beautiful Alicia Vikander. I'm coincidentally starting the second one tomorrow and I hope that continues in that game as well.

This is the only correct answer given those options.

The Last Dragon

I'll say that I have mixed feelings and leave it at that.

I don't want to giveaway my Musical Monday pick too early but...

Lauren "Lorelai Gilmore" Graham? I don't know anything about Guys And Dolls but I wish I could have seen this.

I'll back these recommendations. Suzuki Seijun, when given the opportunity, made unusual gangster films. The closest I could think of for an American production would be Point Blank (the Lee Marvin one) or Ghost Dog (but Ghost Dog is just straight up stealing ideas than anything else. I'd be very curious about a musical but is want to know of it falls into his more, comparatively, straight lace films or his crazier films
