Why I Hate Spielberg #4,695: The Ferris Wheel Reversal in 1941
Bet Treat Williams disagrees with you Scott. During a non-filmed rehearsal of the scene, glass from the falling chandelier cut Treat badly on his upper lip, requiring emergency plastic surgery! So says "The Making of 1941", a book I've had in my collection since I was ten years old - how pathetic is that? And if you look really carefully, you'll notice that the sailor who starts the fight is none other than James Caan! Sh-tberg's idea. "I'd like to thank all the GI's for helping make tonight's evening such a... a memorable occasion. Maybe in the future we can have some Negroes come in and we'll stage a race riot... right here." - - Joe Flaherty's best line of the movie— October 28, 2011 5:53 p.m.

Son of What's Wrong with This Menu?
Lombard and her mom arrived by train in Chicago on Jan 15, 1942, switched trains for Indianapolis. She appeared at several venues, stayed the night, and then boarded Flight 3 at 4 AM in Indy to fly home. Several web bios I've seen say "Lombard came home to Indiana" or "her homestate" but she never saw the Fort Wayne house she grew up in (renamed the Carole Lombard House, a B&B decked with memorabilia) or the bridge by her home (renamed in her honor as well). ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.carolelombard.org/gallery/thumbnails.p… This site shows in pictures her itinerary for the bond rally.— October 19, 2011 3:59 p.m.
Son of What's Wrong with This Menu?
Another example of giving a 20-something intern a job and screwing it up royally. Nice discoveries, Scott. Minor correction: Carole Lombard was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana (my hometown) until she was six when her parents divorced and Mama Lombard moved the family to California. Carole rarely re-visited the Fort after that. Lombard was in attendance at the very first bond rally in the USA on January 15, 1942 in Indianapolis, IN. Fort Wayne didn't have a passenger airport until after WWII.— October 19, 2011 3:31 a.m.

Drive Sparks Fan to Toss Hot Dog at Tiger Woods
It could have been worse; several weeks ago, a fan attending a hockey game threw a banana at a black hockey player. Only sports brings out this fakakta (sp.?) behavior in people. Does Albert really have a chance at a nomination? Hope so...— October 13, 2011 5:38 p.m.
The Advertising in Regal Mira Mesa's Lobby is Mighty Big
I love matinees - the thrill of sneaking in at 12 or 1 and seeing a movie while the world drives thru McDonald's on their lunch hour. A theater 1/2 hour down the road from me in another county starts their matinees at 11 AM! A year ago, I was the only person in attendance for "Jackass 3D" - my coat had its own row and I was able to laugh as loud as I wanted (which I did) without bothering anyone. Then you walk out of the theater, into the daylight, and the eyes burn. Glorious!— October 13, 2011 5:27 p.m.

A Brief Conversation Among Johnny Depp's Vanity Fair Covers
