Going back in time to strangle Gavrillo Princip in his crib. Which is more workable than yours.

I think we should prevent Beauregard from spoiling that picnic in Virginia.  So many sandwiches wasted!

Joe Biden gave a 14 second MAKE MY DAY debate challenge to Trump.
It was edited 4 times.

Cut down to length?

Does it even matter?  We voted for a guy who has had verbal glitches his entire 5 decade political career, a guy who won because his strengths and skills lie elsewhere.  Partisans feed on this blooper irrelevance because their party has so little to offer the 21st century in terms of innovative policy and problem-solving.

Pillow talk in GOP marriages can get heated.

Was thinking about RFK Jr. and his now public misadventure with a parasitic brain worm, which somehow intersected with a mention of Shakespeares Henry trilogy over in Movies.  Then in a bizarre bit of synchronicity I watch an episode of Evil in which David, the Catholic seminary student, quotes from Shakespeare and it is Prince Hal s famous battlefield eulogy of Hotspur in Henry IV pt 1

For worms, brave Percy. Fare thee well, great heart.
Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk!
When that this body did contain a spirit,
A kingdom for it was too small a bound,
But now two paces of the vilest earth
Is room enough

Ok, carry on.

Or carrion.

Actually, 2 of the Indiana Jones movies Rhys-Daviez was in won Oscars, so that is 23 for him 25 if you count Two Towers Twice. Since he had two parts.

Heheh.  Do we really want to go down that road?  Then Armie Hammer gets 6 instead of 3 for playing the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network.  Imagine if Kind Hearts & Coronets had won multiple Oscars...

So who said this?
...
Hint: NOT the one Trump lovers like RedDick think is in cognitive decline.

And I assume not the one who reported having a parasitic worm that ate part of his brain and then died.

Completely overlooked Ash.  Makes sense you would notice post-viewing Hank 5.   He does good service in a garden where leeks did grow. 

I assume Branagh isn't a contender in the BHMOOC, just one-ing and two-ing it mostly. 

Had no idea Bale was a 15 year old casualty in H5.  A minor career dip after starring in Empire of the Sun I guess.

I will just say the assumption that critcizing a black politician or jurist is racist is itself profoundly racist.  It implies that black people are subordinate under a protective paternal system.  And that their success will always be judged with condescension.  The poster, with whom I generally do not engage, has just shown you who he really is.  Believe him.

Forgot Matt Damon btw.  25, by my rough count.  I would also consider him a longterm contender in the Bernard Hill Memorial Oscar Osmosis Contest. (onlookers consult previous page if you are curious WTF I'm blathering about)  For sheer workaholism+competence, he is one of the champs.  Seems to embody Allen's Law, 95% of life is just showing up.

New hope for the dead!

Yeah, I remember my dad, a newsman, telling us how VIP obits were often written years in advance and stored in a file for quick retrieval and any needed amendments when the reaper or crab monster actually showed up.  The DeH sisters were in there for many years I'm sure.
