Glory... glory... gloriosky!
Orphan Annie said "Leapin' lizards".
Annie Roonie said "Gloriosky".
Both terms are used in the "Officer Krupke" song.

"Silver Streak" had music by Mancini, who was a very reliable and superior composer, but one more recent film,
The Edge of Seventeen, had a whole slew of quirky songs that I enjoyed as much, if not more than the movie, itself.

Nowadays, most studio films are shot on video and screened at theaters using digital projectors, much to the chagrin of Tarantino.
The medium of film itself—often on degrading, outdated stock—has become a draw and created a fervent subculture, inspired in part by the studio system’s attempts to control film exhibition. In the early 2010s, the studios migrated to DCPs, or Digital Cinema Packages, arguing it was a more cost-efficient, superior technology; it supplanted film as the primary medium for wide-release studio movies. (Though some, including journalist Will Tavlin, have argued that the move was simply about greed.) Regardless of the motivations, the shift to digital distribution has led to an unintended backlash. Top-line auteur directors like Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, and Paul Thomas Anderson—who have the clout to get studios to print their work on film—still worked with film, helping to create an environment where other directors could do so as well. Even among established film-obsessed directors, Tarantino has made shooting on and exhibiting film a crusade. “Why an established filmmaker would shoot on digital, I have no ****ing idea,” the director said at Cannes in 2014. And it’s clear that these directors have a point by choosing film: A 70 mm IMAX print of Oppenheimer can create frenzy and sold-out screenings, and Tarantino’s Vista Theater in Los Angeles can do weeks of 35 mm screenings for new releases like Dune: Part Two, Longlegs, and Saturday Night.
“Thirty-five millimeter prints attract a younger audience,” says Bruce Goldstein, longtime repertory programmer at Film Forum in the West Village and founder of Rialto Pictures. “I wouldn’t call it a cult, but it’s definitely a hipsterish kind of thing. It’s become like vinyl. Sometimes to a fetishistic degree.” But perhaps the desire for different aesthetics speaks to the restlessness of a generation that has been conditioned to accept consuming movies—labeled as content—on televisions, on laptops, on phones. What cannot be disputed is that the studios helped inspire a generation of marquee filmmakers, and an uncommonly informed audience, obsessed with format and fidelity.

Tarantino apparently no longer considers Uma Thurman his "muse".
He pressured her to do the stunt in a car that she said was unsafe instead of
using a stunt driver.

Social media companies are deliberately addicting users to their products for financial gain, Silicon Valley insiders have told the BBC's Panorama programme.
"It's as if they're taking behavioural cocaine and just sprinkling it all over your interface and that's the thing that keeps you like coming back and back and back", said former Mozilla and Jawbone employee Aza Raskin. "Behind every screen on your phone, there are generally like literally a thousand engineers that have worked on this thing to try to make it maximally addicting" he added.
