The Four Seasons dropping doesn't surprise me that would have been made at Alan Alda's peak with MASH still running. It wouldn't be a very exciting film by today's standards either.
Excalibur now being in the Top 10 doesn't surprise me either. I was around 9 or so when that film came out so I am guessing that a lot of the people voting would be around my age and have fond memories of how magical that film looked back then and still looks now. The topic probably fits with today's tastes better than when it was made too. All the PC riddled Merlin/Arthur films and tv shows probably makes people want something more authentic as well.
Heavy Metal was probably a little ahead of it's time so no surprise it is more popular now.
Gary Coleman exploited by his parents and then lost it all. Would have been hard peaking so young too then working as a security guard.
Yep at times the characters just deliver political speeches that aren't related to what passes for a plot at all.
I can't stomach new tv and films the PC indoctrination is out of control. They aren't even creative about it.
My job involves me dealing with the violence and decay.if society.so I see how bad it's become and it is mostly due to "progressive values" so yeah I tune the world out as much as possible.
Gee what was the name of that President who called it the China virus....
Work is toxic for the time you spend there. The streets are toxic 24/7.
Same could be said of any country though.
So it was more like a cast interview than a friends ep? Sounds dull if that is the case.
Something to consider is they were mutineers meaning they would have had low morale already and trying to keep order over them would have been a huge task.
Plus they would have been tired and more than likely happy enough to make the most of it on Pitcairn.
I don't know for fact but it wouldn't surprise me. Life was harsh back then and they would have been used to death and the dying.
I think we all knew it went further than blow jobs and Billy knew blow jobs are a form of sex.
I forgot to mention the "Safe injecting room".
That is a place where addicts can go and get shot up by nurses on the tax payer dollar.
The Commie state govt want to open a second one now.
Cena has that all Anerican look and image too. Sad to see the "tough" boy say sorry.

Lol long winded we agree on and just too wrapped up in it's own style. Not a fan of QT in general.
If you say so, but then I'm yet to make it through Pulp Fiction too so I'm not a fan of that style of movie.
I could add a couple more;
Dates another white person = racism
Dates a POC = Racism and fetishizing race.
Simply exists = racism
