I'm a middle aged slightly overweight slightly balding man with no real physical appeal but whenever I go around a supermarket I still play 'would/wouldn't' in my mind with the random stranger women I see as I go. It's a thought experiment. They wouldn't, not one.

Bruce Lee filmed his legendary fight with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1972, but audiences didn’t see it until GAME OF DEATH (1978), released six years after Lee’s death.
The showdown remains one of the most iconic martial arts sequences ever filmed.

One of the smartest things SEINFELD didwas build the show around Jerry’s strengths. Jerry rarely had to carry the biggest comedic moments. Those went to George, Elaine & Kramer, while Jerry played the straight man reacting to the madness around him.

James Earl Jones was the first celebrity guest to appear on SESAME STREET in 1969, delivering a simple yet unforgettable segment in which he recited the alphabet with his instantly recognizable voice.

Leslie Nielsen’s greatest comedy weapon was that he never looked like he was telling a joke. AIRPLANE! (1980) and THE NAKED GUN (1988) work so well because he delivers the most ridiculous lines with the complete sincerity of a serious dramatic actor.

One of my wife's colleagues was "Stinky Mary", a chaotic and very stupid woman everyone hated. The first time I dropped in to pick up my wife I cheerfully asked the receptionist, "So, which one is Stinky Mary?" Long pause. "I'm the only Mary here."

THE CABLE GUY was released 30 years ago today.
Audiences expecting another Jim Carrey comedy were surprised by how dark the film was. Its mix of satire & black comedy divided viewers on release but helped it gain cult status in the years that followed.

Creating the creature in ALIEN 3 (1992) required a mix of early digital effects and practical puppetry. This astonishing full-scale puppet was built for the production.

In 300 (2006), Gerard Butler was told to say “THIS IS SPARTA!” calmly. He tried it, but it felt wrong.
He asked Zack Snyder for one take where he screamed it.
After, Butler asked, “Too much?” Snyder laughed: “Yeah… but it was awesome.”

In KINGPIN (1996), Bill Murray reportedly bowled the three consecutive strikes himself during the film’s finale. One of the movie’s most outrageous moments was apparently the real deal.

Val Kilmer was reportedly considered for Morpheus before THE MATRIX (1999) landed on Laurence Fishburne. One of those casting what-ifs that’s fascinating less for the role itself and more for how completely Fishburne ended up owning it.

The Sonya Blade vs. Kano fight in MORTAL KOMBAT (1995) remains one of the film’s most satisfying showdowns. A faithful adaptation of their video game rivalry, capped off by one of the movie’s most memorable finishing moves.
