"The Notorious Betty Page," starring Gretchen Mol. I once got together with a young woman from Malmö. She had a "Betty Blue" poster on her bedroom wall, and her mom made us breakfast in the morning.

Breakfast at Wimbledon, for sure. In California, this is at six in the morning, and requires ample servings of coffee.

Tennis gear:

Federer's Wimbledon all-white, Darth Fed's U.S. Open night match all-black, or the S.D. Bageler's California tripping?

Donkey, as the word goes back to the origin of burrito.

You are in line for a Mission burrito, erect and salivating like a mofo, and they ask you for your choice of beans:

Black beans, pinto beans, or refried beans?

Mandlikova. I saw both play multiple times when I was young. While Sukova played with the Kneissl version of Lendl's racquet, and her shots conjured images of Lendl's technique, Mandlikova had poetry to her shots. They were smooth and beautiful. She would sometimes misfire a forehand into the fence, then hit a sublime shot the next point. I once saw Betty Stove throw a bikini-clad Mandlikova into a pool when I was a kid, which caught my attention.

Lucie is running towards the San Diego Bageler or away from him?

Even when you're running away from SPB you're running towards him due to his omnidirectional nature.

Betterer exotic bagel schmear flavor:

Pizza Margherita, even top shelf Margarita is for the puny [anything with Cointreau is gurly]; the only saving grace is the art of kosher salt rimming!:oops:

Steven Spielberg [yeah, try bettering Inception Steve:rolleyes:]?

With Méjico's patented grilled la playa fajita? Maybe!

Gurly Marge? Oh please!:rolleyes: Again, kosher salt rimming makes it bearable, without it? Goodnight and good luck with that puny little drink!;):D

Sir, allow me to express my heartfelt, ''Oh, it's really cool [slurps Marge in the process]!'':D:D

He did 35 years ago:


"I'll be right here..." for your reply. @Carsomyr and I will have some popcorn watching all the Amblin oeuvre. We "gurly men" might even have some margaritas to wash the top shelf Orville Redenbacher fare down.

Real GOAT director:

Better actor,

River Phoenix

or

Joaquin Phoenix
No "E.T."??? I am sorry...you need a Spray! Fix that void in movie history.

Joaquin...great range to play Commodus and Johnny Cash.

Better music icon biopic role:

Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison

or

Angela Bassett as Tina Turner

???

Neither E.T. [don't think will ever watch] nor Star Wars [will probably watch its latest instalment]. Star Trek, yes.

Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison

Jazz Movies,

Bird w/ Forest Whitaker

or

The Man with the Golden Arm w/ Frank Sinatra?

Bird. However, I like Kirk Douglas as "Young Man With A Horn" betterer.

Better hero:

John McClane

or

John McCain

???

Still liking your "real heroes don't get captured" foot in mouth moment, Agent Orange???

John McClane, because you can never kill him and best of all the Die Hard franchise is an Ode to Christmas.

John Wick

or

John Rambo?

Dry Wick although it's ironic the choices are for actors who were betterer in other franchises.

The Godfather franchise

or

Star Wars franchise

???

Recuse yourself if it's really true you've never seen SW.

FFC FTW!

He raided Lucas' cast from American Graffiti to make this gem of a film in between TG 1 & 2...both Harrison Ford and Cindy Williams appear.

Better surveillance expert role for Gene Hackman:

The Conversation

or

Enemy Of The State

???

As everyone, including @stringertom knows, Lucas is a perverse purveyor of populist garbage that's not fit for the soggy remnants of a pissed-in popcorn tub.

Lucas it is.

Harry Potter or At Swim-Two-Birds?
Cannot comment on the English language cinematic At Swim still in development but the book gets my vote because of Guinness and Orlick seems SoBad in nature.
