One of my favorite scenes from the movie, Spiderman: No Way Home, is the scene where Andrew's Peter Parker saves MJ when Tom's Peter is taken out by Green Goblin. I didn't know this until recently, but it was Andrew who pitched the idea as a way to get closure and redemption from the loss of Gwen, in his world. Brilliant idea that added so much more to the film, not to mention he did a remarkable and emotional acting job during the scene. If you haven't seem the film yet, you're missing out, the entire movie is one of the best Marvel has put out, to date.

My brain loves the fact that the father of Samwise, the only person stronger than The Ring, was Gomez Addams.

Didn't know this until recently, there are plans for a series depicting the origin of Pennywise and the town of Derry. If they do this right, it could be a really good series.

That has potential. Unfortunately, with so many F ups from TV and film producers (directors, writers, etc.), I won't be holding my breath.

Man, I really miss this guy and SNL from that era ('89-'92), so funny. The Sloppy Joe skit has me rolling every time. :lol:

When the Drinker started talking about Kathleen going, all I could think of was she's already done her damage. :roll:

Funny clip from Married with Children; my #1 sitcom of the era.
