A reporter checked "records" ... on a light bulb?

Old timers had stories about ... a light bulb?

Those two oddities make me doubtful.

From a time when the average American could fit thru that opening.

They should have posed him next to his capsule and lifting one leg.

"2001" was one of the few films we went to see as a family in the 60's (Sound of Music and Born Free might have been the other two). I was very surprised when my momsaid we were going to see a space movie. I couldn't imagine why my parents wanted to go to what had to be a slimy green alien movie.

We were all completely baffled by it and had no clue what it was about. But it didn't matter. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen and for the next four years I was building cardboard box spaceships with mechanical robot arms in our basement.

Hollowing out a book was "ingenuity" in 1928?

the real quote is "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people" from Henry Mencken

I learned while teaching school that kids will say anything, without regard for obvious facts, if they think it's the answer that will gain approval.

"did you break that lamp?"

"No, I swear to God I didn't break the lamp!"

Their memories might be fine, but integrity and honesty are still works in progress.

I suppose next they are going to tell us the greeks didn't all have great abs like in "300"

Yes, fire hazard. I doubt any commercial establishment would be allowed to use such a thing.

That wasn't even close to some of the grander domino sets that have been done.

And what lousy video of the actual event!

These people who think that's somehow bad seem not to be aware of the piecemeal nature of all ensemble music.

He's on time, on pitch, in character, he's doing his one small part in the whole. Expecting it to stand on its own is naive.

If you listened to the 3rd trombone part to Beethoven's 5th symphony you wouldn't find it any more interesting by itself. It would sound awful.

And it was a pop sensation when he married "Miss Vicki" on the Tonight Show.

I recall one obituary as saying he had voice that actually sounded like a 78 RPM record.

a pointless protest. If you really can't bear to watch Netflix streaming movies vote meaningfully with your dollars, not some silly card.

Cancel your Netflix subscription and obtain the movie in some form that is amenable to your need to archive and repeatedly view it.

If you want the movie so bad why are you not just buying the DVD?

Personally, I'm pissed that their streaming won't work with Win2000 which is an otherwise adequate OS for me. But I'm not going to start an insert campaign about it.
