There wasn't a TV thread and I had a question, so here's a low effort TV thread.
My wife and I were trying to remember if Mr. Burns in the Simpsons ever ordered "egg salad" in the same cadence that he says "Excellent." We both feel like this is something he has done, but we cannot remember the specific instance when he would have. Does anyone know?

Pete Forester is a monster "Storyteller [and] Writer/Host/Contributor about town".
Ha! Double entendre
Ah, damn. RIP to a real one. Gonna watch some Murder She Wrote tonight, I think
queuing up a weekend movie marathon of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pirates of Penzance, and The Court Jester
Murder, She Wrote "The Legacy of Borbey House": While restoring her house in Cabot Cove, Jessica worries that her contractor is preoccupied by the remodeling of another house until the project is put on hold when the client who may or may not be a vampire is found murdered.

Oh, thank christ.
Meanwhile, I got very lucky while trying to figure out how to pay tribute to Angela while sticking to horror movies that I haven't seen this month. It looks like she's only ever been in 2 horror movies. One is The Picture of Dorian Gray from 1945. The second is a werewolf movie from 1984 that was the second movie ever directed by Neil Jordan. More importantly I had already obtained it recently because it also has David Warner in it and I was looking for similar options after he died.
So tonight I'll be streaming The Company of Wolves for friends and thinking about all those episodes of Murder She Wrote we watched after dinner at my grandmother's house on Sunday evenings.
Fair, I just don't really think of recorded stage performances as movies. But that's just a personal preference or mental categorization issue I guess.
The Company of Wolves is an incredible movie, it's based on an Angela Carter short story that she adapted to film herself
so I went looking to see if it was streaming anywhere. When I found it, I noticed a rather strange thumbnail for one of the episodes:
(it seems to actually be a thumbnail from the episode, to boot; not someone after the fact having a laugh. )
Fred Melamed and Rose Abdoo as the saucey 'go fuck yourself' old as hell writers in the modern day reboot writers room is easily the best part of the entire show.
Also when you search IMDB for 'Reboot' it defaults to 'Reboot (Canadian Television Series). So, good on them.
EDIT: and after spending a few moments googling I bought the reboot series off of Shout Factory!
I don't know this reference
Not sure if serious...
it's not 1:1 or anything, but you've got
- a redhead dude (wearing red);
- standing in a hallway;
- looking to camera right;
- a slanting element along the back wall;
- and similar framing
it's just an odd (and to me, amusing) coincidence. There's a very slim chance that someone was asked to make thumbnails for the episodes (most have a bit from the intro sequence) and intentionally chose that one as a joke, but that would be it.
The rest of the episode was mostly pretty good, even if it retread a lot of the same drama from the last few episode, and hinged the entire plot on an absolutely goofy ass misunderstanding of some overheard dialogue. It might be the show’s best episode so far? I’d give it a “pretty good”. It doesn’t hold up to what Rings of Power has been doing on a weekly basis, but it was alright!

Fun fact about that scene: he's hunched over as he approaches the throne because Paddy Considine has been carrying the show this whole time
A friend of mine wrote that episode!
I had to bow out on the show because it wasn't my cup of tea, but I am glad to hear that a nice person did good work, that is always very heartening to hear.
Andor the show is basically about how this speech

This was indeed an incredible movie. I was definitely not expecting to see Angela Lansbury's head get knocked off by a werewolf and sent flipping through the air across the room, but I guess that's a peril of trying to honor an actor during horror movie month.
edit: i'm not saying that's a bad thing
edit edit: i mean obviously it is bad to shoot at people i think this is probably a given but just in case
