Obscure Cult Film Reference Open Thread
— CAC

Open Thread for your kickoff to the long Memorial Day Weekend. I say your because I still have to work three out of the next four days.

Call this the "please tell me I am not the only one to have seen this nor laugh myself into temporary unconsciousness over it" thread.

Or call this the "I really need to turn off DirecTV at 3am" thread.

You all wouldn't be the top caliber morons you are today without your devotion to the odd, the unseen, the unheard of.

Open Thread, but with a reminder that there are some things that are just not acceptable:

10 I've mentioned this on a previous thread.

A little flick called 29th Street is a must-see. It's based on the real life story of the first ever lottery winner in the US in NY back in 1976.

Danny Aiello was especially good in it.

Miller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
