One of Mia Farrows sons was named Satchel. My mom used to be outraged and amused every time she read his name in celeb magazines. I think he changed his name years ago. Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter is named Apple.

Nic Cage named his kid Kal-el. 

Kevin Smith's daughter is named Harley Quinn Smith.

Today has been a more or less normal winter's day here.*

*Except I got distracted going into work on the bus and I ended up in the Pretoria city centre where I used to live.

Not a bad looking car but (1) the car is only being put together from knockdown kits and (b) that awful name!

I cut my cable package to just the local channels years ago due to inflation, so I don't know what's big, but I have noticed a few things....

Off the top of my head, no more smoking.....
That means Nick Fury & The Man With No Name are no longer allowed to chomp on their cigars & cigarillos while kicking @$$ anymore....

Another thing, is that everything needs to have a token LGBTQ....
So token, that often, the audience needs to be made aware that they're LGBTQ, with the character getting token scenes & token dialog...

Usually in modern movies only "evil" characters smoke, if you pay attention. In my opinion, it's a rather pathetic attempt to discourage the habit, to be honest, but hey, what can you do about it.

[2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)]

My favorite is still 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) because it still remains the one movie ending that still confuses the hell out of me. Even after the ending was explained to me by fanboys, Redditors, and Google, I still have a difficult time co-relating their explanations to what I’m actually seeing on the TV screen. Stanley Kubrick was a mad genius of a filmmaker, this is one of my all-time favorite movies, and this movie ending still drives me bonkers as I try to figure it out. 

Lol, sure. I'm in academia and I can't dispute this alternate solution.

It is THE CHILDREN (1980) - this has been solved at least two other times...

"People dissolving into dust" sounds like me and my colleagues around performance review time
