So who would folks want them to bring in as the big star of the show?

I'm really struggling to understand why anyone would be outraged enough about this to create a thread about it.
Welcome to the M/TV Board. We had a three page thread because someone was upset that an actor's female wife looked masculine enough to pass as trans.
Guess who gets killed off-camera between seasons 2 and 3.

Valerie Harper in 1986, "What are they gonna' do, kill me off? The show is named "Valerie" for Christ's sake!"

Valerie Harper in 1987, "Why is Sandy Duncan's car in my parking spot?"
In 1970 my father pulled the family out of theater because the Rated GP movie that he took us to featured a woman with a sheer nightie where you could sort of see her nipples.

In 1972 he took me along with him to see The Godfather (Rated R), telling me that he wanted me to know that there were real criminals in this world, not just the cliché bad guys I'd seen on TV and in comic books. I was 11 at the time.

After that I had to rely on older siblings to take me to the better movies. Luckily I had a very cool sister-in-law who lived with us while my brother was away, so I was one of the few in my junior high class to see Blazing Saddles.
Watchmen is one of my favorite superhero films of all time, and the trailer was even better IMHO. Jesus, seeing those panels from the comic beautifully brought to life, fricking amazing.


This was Julia-Louis Dreyfus right before Seinfeld, and she was the reason to watch this show. She was a minor character who stole every scene that she was in.



ETA: This series' claim to fame was that its highest rated episode was a Brady Bunch episode where they reunited most of the BB cast in a dream sequence where Christopher Daniel Barnes dreamed that he was Greg Brady. Six years later, Christopher Daniel Barnes played Greg Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie.
This was David Garrison's big break before his role as Steve on Married with Children. This was also our first glimpse at Bateman's sarcastic persona, which worked perfectly with Garrison as the straight man. Their interactions were the highlights of the show.

I was the biggest advocate for theaters, was a MoviePass and AMC+ power user, but the state of theaters today has me staying home. Understaffed theaters, broken chairs left available for you to reserve, terrible sound systems. The last two films that I saw in AMC Dolby sounded terrible. It sounds like AMC 16's Dolby theater has a loud HVAC problem.

The assholes in the theater I can understand. That's a given possibility going in. But the stuff that the theater can handle, that's keeping me away.
God bless her. I hope she finds some peace and happiness.

Seen better in the quad my friend.
But not in the quadrant.

Ed Harris was great in this

Baldwin said that the cast was so deep into their characters, he was afraid that Ed Harris was going to throw a punch at him.
Possibly not a fair comparison, because her predecessors weren't featured as prominently as she was.

Donner was casting two white actors. The casting director pointed out that race wasn't mentioned in the script, and that Glover would be perfect.

is that a new clip or is that from Penguin?
If that's Scarlet Johansson, it's new.

Cavil should have been the Kurgan in the remake. He is too large to play Connor, IMHO.
Clancy Brown wasn't huge. He was just tall (6'3") and had an intimidating voice and presence. Cavil is an inch taller than Lambert.

After Siskel & Ebert left At the Movies, acerbic Reed took over with good guy BIll Harris and the show's tone shifted dramatically.

My favorite review was Louisiana boy Reed critiquing The Big Easy. He gave out a description of Dennis Quaid running through New Orleans, "dodging bullets and logic." :lol:
OP: "Hey Tony, you heard what I said? I went to the Movie Board and I said, Lupita Nyong is a great Helen of Troy. Troy Michigan dat is."
