When Edward McMillan put a $500 "dead or alive" bounty on the head of his old acquaintance "Railroad Bill" in 1895, Bill sent him a note that said  "I wish you hadn’t made that statement because I love you, Mr. Ed, and I don’t want to kill you." Bill shot McMillan dead in a gunfight a few months later.

Railroad Bill was a fascinating character. He was a former circus performer who escaped certain capture multiple times. The authorities kept raising his reward. I'm surprised no one has ever made a movie about him.  They made a folk song, though (you can hear the reference to the real-life McMillan killing).

Little known fact.

In 1973 film maker Larry Cohen was working on a new movie idea but was unable to come up with a title. Deciding a break might help he decided to take a vacation in south Africa.

As he was driving past a laundromat a woman came across a pair of underwear a young man had left behind accidentally. Seeing her run out of the landromat screaming in abject terror  "IT'S ALIVE!!! " Cohen decided that  would make a great title for his new movie about a mutant killer baby.

The movie went on to become a legendary bad movie and the young man who accidentally left a pair of his underwear in the  landromat went on to become a legendary bad movie fan.

Sh*t, I never got any royalties for this.  Wink

Seriously, Larry Cohen wrote one of my favourite thrillers: Best Seller with Brian Dennehy and James Woods.  Cheers

This is kinda true. Vader was born a slave, taken in by the jedi and raised to be a monk without love or family, found love he had to hide, corrupted by palpatine and finally turned into something literally more machine than man.

True parchment is not paper, it is a form of leather.

The earliest known American pornographic film is the 1915 movie A Free Ride, a.k.a. A Grass Sandwich. The film was directed by A. Wise Guy and was written by Will She.  Those might not actually be their real names.

According to the magazine you skewer them then roast them like marshmallows. When they start to drip they're ready.

Final Destination is based on an idea for an episode of The X-Files that was never made.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
