This is wonderful. I'd forgotten about these. I only met Kendall once, but this page made my day.

Even funnier when you realize that the Beatles had virtually nothing to do with the film, save the music and the live-action bit at the end.

During my tenure in the same position the ONLY flak I got was from Administration. During an airing of "Dead Poets Society" they made the projectionist hold up a piece of paper in front of the lens during a brief glimpse of a playboy centerfold, but completely missed the far more dangerous (to them) message of rebellion against authority.

And "Time Bandits" got shot down with two words I will carry with me to my grave: "medieval mysticism".

Not being sure which pharmaceutical companies are working on which cure, I still have to wonder if someone's done a cost analysis . . . this would cost $100 a pill and cure colds, but few people would be able to buy it -- meanwhile, our cold SYMPTOM treaters (dayquil, contac, theraflu, etc) are big money makers and cheaper to produce.

Or am I being paranoid?

The Colbert and Daily Show programmer problems exist with TiVO as well . . . I just let it record them and delete the "rerun" episodes as they build up every few days. Simpler than the VCR-type recording -- with TiVO, anyway ...

Disney and MGM have at least one agreement:

"In 1985, Disney and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer entered into a licensing contract that gave Disney worldwide rights to use the MGM name and logo for a yet-to-be-built backlot studio theme park." -Wikipedia

So it stands to reason they have some branding crossover agreements here or there.

There is an episode of the British Sci-Fi sitcom "Red Dwarf" where, in the future, bubble wrap (or, as they say in Great Britian, "Packing Paper") is no longer used for packing at all, but sold in 1-foot squares, painted red, and called "tension sheets". Bubble wrap as therapy! It's the next inevitable phase.
