Just watched The Invisible Man (1933). I haven’t seen Titanic. So it was cool to hear the GF from Invisible Man came back to play old Rose.
Nope. Dont believe it. Mandela Effect
Don’t believe what?
That song is by Peter Paul and Mary…like the OP said. Its a Mama and Papas song and anything different is just parallel universe stuff
So the Wikipedia was written in a parallel universe?:
I was very familiar with the “I dig etc,” song first when I was a kid because my parents had the “10 Years After” album. It wasn’t my favorite so I didnt go out of my way to listen to it.
Decades later, I had gotten old enough to prefer the oldies station. When they played this song, I was finally famliar enough with the Beatles, Donavan, and the Mamas and the Papas to recognize what they were doing, and they were spot on in each section with the mimicking of the different styles.
Not really. Cracker Jack is a sweet treat and salted roaster peanuts are salty and savory. I could see getting both.
Well, not so much a series, but attempts to get Jean Shepherd’s humor to translate to TV and film (and since Shepherd often wrote to script or part of it, the attempts were better than many).
I have seen Ollie Hopnoodle’s Haven of Bliss and it is okay.
A Christmas Story (1983) is not only the best of the films based on Jean Shepherd’s writings but also a Christmas film, so it turned into a tradition, like 'It’s a Wonderful Life". The cast is great also.
Find the rest, trust me. But yes, his military service stories are also hilarious.
Just finished season one of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Took two or three episodes to realize that Number One’s first name was Una.
The other thing that makes both A Christmas Story and It’s a Wonderful Life good for marathon showings at Christmastime is that they’re both very episodic. If you’ve got half an hour between finishing your kitchen work and the time when the guests are showing up, or whatever, you can turn on the TV and catch one of those movies wherever they happen to be in their runtimes, and get an entertaining little story that more or less stands on its own. And if, eventually, you see every bit and bob but all of them out of order, the movie as a whole doesn’t suffer much from it.
Of course, Shepherd’s other movies would presumably be similarly episodic, but there’s not as much demand for that outside of Christmas time.
Of course, IMHO It’s a Wonderful Life is not truly a Christmas film, whilst It’s a Wonderful Life qualifies. 
No, no, no…you have that backwards.
LOL, opps. My Bad, sorry
I listened to the March 2022 Caroline Rhea interview by Marc Maron last week, and she said she only recently put that together herself.
OK, what happened there? I didn’t edit my post, and my actual post contains the titles of both movies. I don’t think that @DrDeth would deliberately misquote me just to make fun of the edited quote? But then, how did the mis-quote end up in his post?
No, it’s definitely some bug. If you expand the quoted section in DrDeth’s post, you see the correct names. Only in the ‘preview’ pane does the error we see occur.
It could be some error on my part with cut and paste perhaps? If so, my humble apologies.
I certainly wasn’t making fun of you.
Yeah, that’s very weird.
Is that like Menard’s version of Don Quixote?
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is also very episodic.
In the Simon and Garfunkel song “A Simple Desultory Phillipic,” one section has him saying:
I’ve been Ayn Rand-ed, nearly branded
A communist ‘cos I’m left-handed!
That’s the hand I use - well, never mind.
I just realized that that’s a reference to masturbation.
