No mention of JDB as "The Whammer" (aka Babe Ruth) in The Natural? That was something of a comeback for him

He & Darren McGavin stole that film, not just from the awful Redford but even Duvall.

Pretty much Felix in all but name. Down to being a loud Texan. Oh how I long for that era of Bond.

Two of my favorite mst3k episodes.

Poor old Joe Don hated the mst3k crew for making fun of his films.

Made quite the impression in Charley Varrick. Excellent in Cape Fear also.

God bless you for keeping the art deco thread alive, but you are terribly wrong in this case. MST3K was delightful. If you're in Louisiana, you should pitch in n' get cracking towards showing it the respect that it deserves.

We'll have to disagree

And as I hate reaction shite, you can imagine what I think of them for popularizing that

I'll give you this - they were funnier than kids in the hall
