Fact Of The Day

[Svengoolie 3]

75 years ago we had a physically disabled president whose position on Nazism was that it had to be destroyed.

Today we have a mentally disabled president whose position on nazism is that some are "very fine people. "

I do not believe that there is a movie script bad enough that Eric Roberts will not turn up to for a paycheck. Also see Michael Madsen.

The Number 3

Between 2007 and 2016, inclusive, 1271 ships sank or disappeared. That is almost 1 ship every "3" days.

Whether or not you have Red Box in your area, of the films advertised by Red Box, almost 1 out of "3" or  "33%" are sequels, remakes, or prequels. And that number has been farily consistent over the past year or so. So much for Hollywood originality. So much for audience's demand for originality. What I have a harder time trying to tell, is how many of those films were meant to be the 1st in a series and did not do enough business at the box office to generate a 2nd film.

Next time: what is harder to win than an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony?

"Comet" on "Full House" and "Air Bud" were played by the same dog.

What is harder to win than an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and/or a Tony?
A Disney Legend.

3 reasons
1st while the other awards are given out on an annual basis. A Disney Legend is given out only on a biannual basis or every two years to coincide with the D23 Expo, which is this year.
2nd while more than a dozen of the other awards are given out, less than a dozen Disney Legends are given out.
3rd Disney Legend draws from a larger pool of recipients. Not only those elegible for the other awards, but also those who are inelegible for the other awards.

As for this year's recipients, they include . . .
Barnette Ricci -- Bette Midler -- Diane Sawyer -- Hans Zimmer -- James Earl Jones -- Jon Favreau -- Kenny Ortega -- Ming-na Wen -- Robin Roberts -- Wang T. Chao -- and Robert Downey, jr.

Since the 1st award was given out in 1987, there have been 297 recipients to date, including those listed above.

Next time: what is the most haunted place in the U.S.?

Nope. 

From worst to best ...

Val Kilmer
George Clooney
Christian Bale
Ben Affleck
Adam West
Michael Keaton. 

People that only did the voice belong on a separate ranking list. 

It's also arguable that Adam West belongs on a list all by himself. 

[Svengoolie 3]

Sorry,  clooney was worse than kilmer.

[chainsaw midget]

Clooney actually had personality.  Kilmer could have been replaced by a cardboard cutout in most of his scenes and nobody would have noticed. 

[Svengoolie 3]

That's the problem, clooney was waaayto poatitive and upbeat to be batman.

[Alex]

The director felt it was time for Batman to get over the death of his parents and enjoy being Bruce Wayne.
