I recently watched Harrison Ford’s courtroom drama, Presumed Innocent (1990), and noticed one of these reporters is getting fired. 🤣😂

A rare uncut Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. For YEARS I swore there was a version where Christian Slater says: “Fuck me. He cleared it.” UK edits sanitised it to “Blimey…” or “My my…” Well, it’s back, baby!!!

Is this helicopter real or CGI? I was watching Your Friends & Neighbours and Jon Hamm and his mates got in this helicopter, and it did THIS. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I think I’ve just become a mechanophiliac, and I didn't even know that was a thing.

Saddened by the news of Tom Stoppard’s passing. Possibly the greatest playwright of his era—definitely the most playful. ‘Shakespeare in Love’ is full of clever tributes for Bard fans, plus this gem: for anyone who’s acted, it’s the truest line about theatre ever written.

Star Wars is 48 years old today. Some Stormtrooper clones are taller than others. Movie mistakes are often so good they make the cut, Star Wars goes one better. The Stormtrooper on the right not only hits his head on the door, they timed a sound effect to coincide with it.🤣

Gene Kelly didn’t want to sing “Singin’ in the Rain” on The Muppet Show. Kermit took that as a challenge and made it the plot, coaxing him into it anyway. It was the last episode they ever filmed, and the last time Gene performed it. A poignant goodbye to the song and The Muppets

The “vessel with the pestle” scene in The Court Jester (1955) is still one of the hardest bits of comic timing ever filmed. Danny Kaye, Mildred Natwick, and Glynis Johns. Full speed. No net. If you can get through this without smiling, you’re broken.

Elisabeth Shue spent the 80s as Hollywood’s ultimate good girl. Despite spending the last three decades deliberately burning that image to the ground, people still act surprised. Exhibit A… B… and possibly C:

Dustin Hoffman slapped Meryl Streep without warning just before filming this scene for Kramer vs. Kramer. You can still see the mark on her cheek. He said he was channelling the character. She said he overstepped. They never worked together again.

What makes the Chernobyl helicopter crash so terrifying is how cold it is. No music swell or dramatic speeches. Just Stellan Skarsgård and Jared Harris (65 today) staring in silence as it unfolds "The only thing was, don't react too much. That was the only thing we thought about"

David Fincher is in my top 3 directors because of this scene in Se7en. I’d never seen a cinema react quite like it. The whole room jumped. Then screamed. It's not a cheap scare. He spends 53 mins placing the audience exactly where he wants them, then pulls the trigger.

Nicole Kidman really peed on Zac Efron in The Paperboy. The scene required it for a jellyfish sting. During editing, the director got cold feet and asked about cutting it. Kidman’s reply: “You made me pee on Zac Efron. If you don’t put it in, you need to man up.”

Shallow Hal didn’t “age badly.” The premise was always awful. Gwyneth Paltrow later called doing it a “shite” idea she regrets. Jack Black said: “I wasn’t proud of it… I got paid a lot… in retrospect, it feels like a sell-out.” You know it's bad if Jack turns his back.

This scene would've changed Sylvester Stallone's fate. In the first cut of First Blood, John Rambo dies. That’s how the book ends. That’s how the director wanted it. One film. No sequel. No franchise. Just a dead veteran. Stallone refused. He said killing him meant the war won; there was no way out for the men who came home. So they shot two versions and screened both endings. The audience that watched him live liked the film. The audience that watched him die loved the film… then left pissed off. So they let him live. That one decision created an $800 million franchise, an iconic character, and a completely different Stallone career.

Alicia Keys wanted her first film role to shatter her “good girl” image, “something that would blow people’s minds." So she played a violent assassin in Smokin’ Aces (2006). Bonus for recognising the guy who says, "I bet you are."

In 1978, TV series The Incredible Hulk reused footage from Steven Spielberg’s Duel, replacing Dennis Weaver with their own actors. Spielberg went nuts and added a clause to future contracts: “No one can cannibalise my films and regurgitate them into some other show.”

Adrienne Barbeau go-go dancing on Maude in 1973. Too hot for then. Probably still too hot now. She actually did this for a living before acting. “You can meet me round the corner in a half an hour.”

Ridley Scott’s first film cost £65. He borrowed the camera. He cast his brother Tony. Boy and Bicycle (1965). John Barry later gave him the music for free. It already looks like a Ridley Scott film. Squint and you can see Blade Runner in it.

I swear this is real. Johnny Depp’s first lead role was Private Resort (1985), a sex comedy where he tries to hook up with Sgt. Callahan from Police Academy. It remains the only film in which Depp appears nude.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the film that made Connery call it quits, turns 23 today. This steampunk “literary Avengers” with Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll, Mina Harker, and more was ahead of the curve. This transformation still looks great.
