Betty White Bloopers

Sadly, we lost the awesome Betty White on News Year's Eve 2021. I quickly cut down a longer version of her bloopers from Hot in Cleveland. This woman was an absolute gift to the world

The Love Boat Guest List

Betty White brings us nicely to The Love Boat. May marked the show's anniversary. You won't believe the number of people who complained that I'd missed guest stars out. Just deal with it.

Law and Order Guest List

After I posted Love Boat I had multiple requests to do a montage of Law and Order guests. So I did, I'm that kinda guy. And yes, I know it's Amanda Seyfried and not Samantha. I was told many many times 😂

Clint Eastwood Insults

Clint is an icon. There's really no two ways about it. He's turned the movie insult into an art form

Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liners

Arnie loves a good one-liner. With a career spanning over 40 years, it really is rich pickings.

The Thing was released OTD in 1982, so here are 10 reasons why I love The Thing

A Thread

#1 The Opening Titles
I've always been fascinated by this burning opening title sequence. It was created by Peter Kuran with the help of a fish tank, a trash bag and a match. Simples.

#2 'Norweigian, Mac'

John Carpenter gave you the entire plot in the first scene, if you happen to speak Norwegian.
The man shooting at the dog says, 'Get the hell outta there. That’s not a dog, it’s some sort of thing! It’s imitating a dog, it isn’t real! Get away, you idiots!'

#3 Morricone

Ennio Morricone's score delivers a musical version of building dread. From the opening couple of chords to the very end, it's a musical score that suggests this isn't gonna end well, and it won't get any better than this.

10 Reasons Why I Love Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

A Thread

1. The First scene.

The opening truck chase combines action and comedy set to a great soundtrack. It's literally the film you're about to watch in one scene.

2. Casual Swearing

I was 13 when I saw BHC and I'd never heard casual swearing before. Listening to Eddie Murphy and Gil Hill (Inspector Todd) throwing F-bombs around was like hearing Shakespeare for the first time.

3. The Soundtrack

Patti LaBelle's Stir It Up makes this sequence iconic. And Harold Faltermeyer's electronic score is instantly recognisable. It all works. The music in BHC is one of the characters.
