The Best of Erin Gray

This is one of my favourites, for obvious reasons
I'd also like to give a special shout-out to whoever was in charge of the wardrobe department on Buck Rogers... Thank you, thank you, thank you

The Sopranos

January 10th marked the 23rd anniversary of The Sopranos, so I made this mini montage to celebrate one of the greatest TV shows ever made

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 😂

Movie Bloopers from the 1940s

There's something magical about watching Jimmy Stewart, James Cagney, Bette Davis and Bogart screwing up their lines.

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.

I've always loved end title sequences. It's a film's way of saying, 'I hope you had as much fun watching the film as we had making it.'
So here are 11 of my favourite end title sequences.

Cannonball Run (1981) is the daddy of them all

1⃣
My Favourite End Title Sequences
Rush Hour (1998)
Jackie Chan was in Cannonball Run, and I always got the impression he loved the end titles of Cannonball so much that he spent the rest of his career carrying on the tradition in his own movies

#MovieEndCredits
2⃣
My Favourite End Title Sequences
Predator (1988)
This sequence always cracks me up. There's something hilarious about watching Arnie and the gang, who you've just seen ripped to bloody shreds, smiling like they're guest stars on The Love Boat.

I've been shaking my head over the complaints about Halle Bailey playing the Little Mermaid recently.

Actors have been portraying roles of different genders and races for the past 100 years of cinema and it's about time we all got used to it.

Step into my office a moment...

The Hatchet Man - 1932

Let's skip past Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer (1927) and move onto Edward G. Robinson and Loretta Young both playing Chinese Characters in The Hatchet Man.

Blood Alley - 1955

Swedish blonde bombshell, Anita Ekberg (La Dolce Vita) portrayed a Chinese village girl, Wai Ling in this John Wayne, Lauren Bacall thriller

Let's have a quick look at this 'apology' from the new Education Minister, Andrea Jenkyns.

'On Thursday afternoon' should be followed by a comma. Also it should be 'I went to Downing Street on Thursday afternoon to watch the Prime Minister's speech.'
But let's continue...

There should also be a comma between 'insulting MPs on their way in' and 'as is sadly all too common.'
We've managed to make it out of the first paragraph. Phew!

Some of the best lines of dialogue were just made up on the spot. Here's a thread of some of the greatest ad-libbed lines in the history of cinema.

We're gonna need a bigger Thread.

'You're gonna need a bigger boat' Jaws (1975)
It was an in-joke on the set of Jaws, every time lunch arrived late or the equipment didn't fit on a boat somebody shouted, 'You're gonna need a bigger boat'. Roy Scheider used it at exactly the right time and the rest is history

'Here's Johnny!' - The Shining (1980)
After destroying 60 doors and enduring multiple takes, an exhausted Jack Nicholson mimicked the intro to The Johnny Carson Show. It almost didn't make the cut because it was felt audiences outside the U.S wouldn't get the reference

They have mobile cinemas in Ghana that travel around the country, these usually consist of a generator, a VHS player and a TV. Movie posters are difficult to get hold of in Ghana, so they paint their own. Welcome to the amazing world of Ghana Movie Posters
