And here’s SCTV’s version:
Correction: Winwood played keyboards (mostly).
He did both, although original member Dave Mason also played guitar ( only on the first album and then part of the second album). But on Dear Mr. Fantasy for example I’m pretty sure that is Winwood playing guitar (Mason is playing bass and harmonica).
And I’m the opposite. I could handle the bar flies in Cheers; Frasier’s haughty attitude left me cold. You heard a lot of “it’s the most intelligent show on TV.”. I thought it was a typical fish-out-of-water show.
You left out burnt umber refrigerators and other major household appliances. And those sunburst wall clocks. Yeccch! 
I do.
People often make the mistake of placing plot and character as paramount in judging movies, and if a movie fails on that, if it has plot holes or poor characterization or similar, it’s somehow a failure overall.
I enjoyed (and still enjoy) Avatar for the spectacle - the effects, the worldbuilding, the cinematography - and I’m looking forward to more of the same, if not better.
“Some Like It Hot”

It is like listening to Uncle Herman tell you about his trip to Des Moines.
In 1962
For three hours
While in his car
Stuck in Traffic
On the way to his house
To see the slides of the same trip
Stuck between his overweight flatulent son
and his petulant anorexic daughter who pops her gum
while listening to his wife complain about her hair
in New York, in August, without air conditioning
While he smokes a white owl 10 cent cigar.
BORE RING.to the point of being painful.
.Thank you.
Billy Wilder is all over the place for me. Stalag 17 is about the best movie I’ve ever seen. Kiss Me Stupid about the worst. 1 2 3 is average. This one… I’ve never seen.
Drag humor… not for me. Some people, that is the height of humor. I do not get it. Seen two seconds of Jack Lemmon in this, and why. Tony Curtis can’t be any better. Plus Marilyn Monroe in Betty Boop mode, which I never got either. Like a movie from a foreign culture I’ll never understand. Pass.
Speaking of which… Marilyn Monroe. Mostly seems like a cartoon of a woman. Her imitators were better. She just never has done it for me.
I haven’t seen any of the “Bill & Ted” movies, but I did see “Beetlejuice”, and didn’t think it was very good either.
It became iconic because it got the Rifftrax treatment, and then some, 40 years before Rifftrax debuted.
But the iconic phone booth is from Doctor Who, and the iconic Rule of Three occurs in any number of fairy tales. So what is really so iconic about those films?
This is one of my favorite “Far Side” cartoons. FTR, I DID like DWW.
My favorite take on Who’s On First has to be from Kids in the Hall. The bit starts at 1.50 in.
The Two Ronnies were a comedy duo that often used wordplay and puns to get laughs; the ‘Four Candles’ sketch is a classic, but there are many more, mostly written by Ronnie Barker in the guise of ‘Gerald Wiley’.
I really can’t understand the ‘Who’s on First’ sketch, but I probably lack the cultural references necessary. I wonder if Americans can ‘get’ the ‘Four Candles’ sketch.
Yup, definitely could have been the Two Ronnies. I liked them when they were on TV when I was a little kid.
What a load of billhooks.
My first exposure to “Who’s On First” was a parody about a rock festival featuring the Who, the Guess Who, and Yes.
There’s got to be a way to work The Band into that.
There is.
Now that’s a much better version. I find this version funny. A lot of the love seems to be for parodies and references, rather than the original.
I still don’t find the A&C version at all amusing. There’s a lot wrong with it. Just for a start it goes on for far too long. The premise is implausible, Lou is told explicitly that Who is a name. I can’t believe that he misunderstood it. I can’t believe the dialogue, people just wouldn’t talk like that, and so on.
