I've seen Fight Club about a dozen times.
It finally hit me how Marla knew the number to "Tyler's" Paper St. house. It was the number The Narrator gave her at the support group, of course.
Still a great movie.

In 1921, Charlie Chaplin made a movie named "The Kid". Instant classic. Considered one of the first great movies. Was put into the National Film Registry in 2011.
The (kid)co-star with Chaplin, Jackie Coogan, would grow up and be known to most playing Fester from the original Addams Family.

OMG I'm such a dolt. Huge Star Wars fan, probably seen Empire 100+ times in my lifetime.
At the Rebel base on Hoth, there was a dude that always just looked.... peculiar.... to me.
I am just NOW learning that it was John Ratzenberger.

Watched Cameron Crowe's "Singles" last night. There's a scene where Kyra Sedgewick and Campbell Scott meet in a restaurant. There's a couple making out at the next table. The guy of the couple is...Paul Giamatti who is credited as Kissing Man.

I must have started knowing who Bill Burr was a couple years after Breaking Bad was over. I had no idea at the time that was him in these scenes.

Yup. And I was aware of all of them from prior times I'd watched the movie. Tom Skerritt as The Mayor, Eddie Vedder is in Matt Dillon's band, etc. But I didn't remember seeing Giamatti before.

A few of the other Pearl Jam guys too - Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard.

Wasn’t Pullman the plastic surgeon that talks Bridget Fonda out of getting breast implants?
One of my favorite bits of trivia (and there’s a lot in this movie) is all the seattle rockers came up with joke, fake songs for Matt Dillon’s fake band in the film and Spoonman was one that actually went on to be a big hit. You can hear an early version of Spoonman in the background of one of the scenes.

Footballguy
Yup.
Never knew that about Spoonman.
Such a highly underrated classic movie. Need to rewatch it at some point soon just for nostalgia's sake.

Yes, Pullman was the plastic surgeon.
Dillon's band was called "Citizen ****". Their big song is "Touch Me I'm ****". Lol.

Watching Back to the Future last night and I realized in the beginning of the movie when he turns the overdrive and all the settings up and blasts himself across the room and says "Rock n roll?" that he had invented rock n roll and brought it back to the 1955 and it wasn't just Chuck Berry that copied him. Was that his bands demo tape that he played for George to convince him to ask out Lorraine named "Edward Van Halen"?

Another lesser known actor in it was Jim True-Frost who played Campbell Scott's friend, David Bailey (he bragged about all the girl's phone numbers he got at the bar). He would go on to be Roland 'Prez' Pryzbylewski in The Wire.

Recently finished a rewatch of The Americans. I always knew that Matthew Rhys (Philip) was Welsh but I just realized last night after doing some googling and IMDB'ing that Alison Wright (Martha) is British. Neither one of them had even a hint of an accent throughout the show.

Some British actors are really good sounding American. Gary Oldman is one example.

So I think Chuck Berry still invented rock because Marty learned in in the 80s and was just regurgitating stuff he heard when he played at the dance. Sure in the new timeline Chuck was hearing Marty play it and was getting inspired but he was really getting inspired by something he had already done.
The he plays is Eddie Van Halen playing. The record company didn’t allow the movie to use Van Halen for their music but Eddie liked the idea so he recorded something just for the movie.

Watching A Christmas Carol(1999 version with Patrick Stewart) as is our usual tradition on Christmas eve. Near the beginning of the film, Scrooges nephew comes to visit him at his place of business, followed immediately by two gentlemen seeking donations for charity. In that one scene, we have actors that starred in some heavy hitter television shows:
Patrick Stewart: Star Trek The Next Generation
Richard Grant: Game of Thrones
Dominic West: The Wire
Jeremy Swift: Ted Lasso
Edward Petherbridge: The Guardians
Just thought that was kinda neat.

Forgot William H. Macy was in The Last Dragon. The jacket he's wearing is pure 80's.

Too lazy to go back through all this. But yeah, Cusack and Piven went to the same high school (which is coincidentally the HS my kids go to).
