There are 3 terrific new Bacharach/Costello songs on the new EC album & he says they have written 25 new songs together over the past decade or so; that means there are approx. TWENTY-TWO unheard songs by Burt & Elvis, almost the equivalent of two whole Painted From Memorys
Assuming that at least some of those songs were written for the unproduced Austin Powers musical, I really hope that if the rumored AP4 film happens, they will go ahead and make it a musical and use those songs.
Also, given all that, what are the chances that there already exists an unreleased Bacharach/Costello song called "Do I Make You Horny, Baby, Do I?"?

Would love to get the # of followers for @GLucasTalkShow up to 1138 & somehow keep it at that number forever, even if it means randomly blocking people to maintain it. (Would that work? Or is there an easier way?)

Please help us reach 1138 in time for our next show on 1/11!
We broke 1000! 138 to go. Can we do this by 1/11?
OK, we are down to the final 89!

I really want to get @GLucasTalkShow to 1138 followers and keep it there forever.

I think we can do it!

R.I.P. Bob Einstein

This is probably my favorite scene in my favorite film of all time, Modern Romance. I remember the first time I saw it, realizing that it was Super Dave Osborne (whom I knew from his great deadpan talk show appearances) & later realizing he was AB's brother
Einstein had maybe the single best deadpan of any late night guest, better even than Grodin at his peak maybe! His bits were always great but my favorite parts were always when the audience would laugh and he would stop and glare at them, or at Dave.
It's just tremendous the way he times those reactions, feeding off Dave's timing and the energy of the audience...

Honestly, I think all the headlines about Holmes & Watson being the worst comedy of the year are going to end up making it a film that people discover later on & are pleasantly surprised that it isn't the worst movie they've ever seen. It is a C- comedy that is getting F- grades
I think all the articles about audiences walking out and it being so bad that even Netflix wouldn't save it give a false impression of it. I also think that critics are always angrier when a movie isn't screened (esp. if it means they all had to spend XMAS day watching it)
This is perhaps an uncool opinion but although the movie is a mixed bag and suffers in comparison to the previous to Ferrell/Reilly pairings, I don't get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes feeling from this movie. (I guess it's up to 7% now, but still.)

Hypothetical reconstruction of Late Roman Helmet evolution, based on new research that's been coming out over the past decade and a half or so. (1)
Going from left to right, the first to look at are ridge helmets. Commonly divided into just two types, there are actually 6 distinct variants of ridge helmets. The first of these is the "Comb" Helmet,, typified by the examples from Berkasovo-I and Budapest.
Next are what I classify as "Quadripartite-Type Ridge Helmets." Formerly usually referred to as the "Berkasovo-Type" which I found inadequate because there were fundamentally different constructions for many of these helmets. Only two have been found: Burgh Castle and Concesti.

Thread: Who’s Behind the Caravan/Invasion?

1. The gut response to that question from most normal people is, “Must be leftist deep-pocket guys like Soros and Steyer.”
2. If not intended to influence the mid-terms, then why else would that caravan be all the rage now in the legacy media, and why would there be ZERO condemnation of the veritable invasion force by the Democrat Party?
3. It makes sense that Dem funders are complicit in some way, if not directly involved. I mean, their Kavanaugh gambit failed miserably, but that exposed the evil lengths to which they will go to achieve their political ends. What do a few thousand Central American pawns matter?

Are exoskeletons over-hyped? Grab a cup of coffee and let's chat about exo-tech [THREAD] 1/x
Dismounted ground troops disproportionately shoulder the burden for American wars. The infantry accounts for over 80% of U.S. casualties since World War II, yet makes up less than 4% of the force.
It wasn't always this way. In WWII, the infantry was the third-deadliest job behind bombadiers and submariners. But in the years since, technology has improved the survivability of bombers and submarines, giving American forces a huge advantage over adversaries.

Nina Kouprianova and I have known each other for close to ten years, and we have been married for over eight. We have brought two wonderful children into the world, something of which we are both immensely proud.
We have published two books together, including one this fall, along with many other collaborative projects.
Since last summer, we have lived apart and are in the process of obtaining a divorce. Throughout 2016, I separated from her on three different occasions; we attempted reconciliation as many times. This past year, it became clear that our union simply could not continue.

Over the past decade, an average of 6,000 Middle Eastern Christian refugees were welcomed to the US annually, many fleeing situations our State Department describes as genocide

Over the past six months: 21

We must not let our government turn its back on the persecuted Church
And, just to be clear, we ought not allow our government to turn its back on persecuted Hindus, Muslims, Yezidis, Jews, or others, either. All people are made in God's image and their lives are worth protecting.
It's just particularly galling given the criticism of the last administration for doing too little to help persecuted Christian refugees from the Middle East (see www1.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/a…).

I called on the Obama administration to do more, too--but now we're doing far, far less
