Should have been. My kiddo is a big Ned Ryerson defender. I told her 10 years ago that everything we do in life is sales. Maybe I should have considered how to deliver that message.
Right there on page one, Carlus got it covered.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

TBS used to do a good job of keeping the classics on rotation.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, the andy griffith show and twilight zone need to be in the mix.

You know it has to be true love when he spends the equivalent of thousands of years trying to win her over. Most chicks.. I need a break after a few days.

I don't think he was there that long. Seems like he was in repeat for about 90 minutes, then the credits rolled. Hardly a Herculean effort

How come the movie was only an hour and forty minutes then? How could that much time have passed in such a short period of time?

For you it seemed like the length of a single movie. But for Bill Murry, it was like ten thousand years. Didn't you pay attention to the movie? You just kept resetting while the movie was going on and on and on.
