Seth Meyers Opens 2018 Golden Globes

ChaosEngine says...

I actually didn't think this was Seth's best work. I'm a big fan of his "Closer Look" segment, but I don't find him that funny with his one-liners.

Also, genuine question: why did Oprah win the Cecil B. de Mille Award? I mean, she's undoubtedly a successful person, but her filmography is pretty mediocre.

The last few winners were:
Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Jodie Foster, Woody Allen, George Clooney, Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.

There's no way you could argue that Oprah belongs in that company. (not really sure why Clooney is there either, TBH, also get lost Woody Allen, you creepy old fuck).

But still, upvote for the sentiment if not the execution.

News Anchors Mock Ryan Lochte After Interviewing Him

Barseps says...

All this proves to me is that he's normal. Even today, Robert De Niro is known for not being very good at interviews. ^Upvoted^ for pointing out the nastiness.

Marlon Brando "I coulda been a contender!" On The Waterfront

gwaan says...

This is the iconic scene from Elia Kazan's "On the Waterfront" in which Terry (Marlon Brando) delivers his brother Charlie a heartfelt scolding. "I coulda had class... I coulda been a contender, instead of a bum, which is what I am - let's face it."

This is often listed as perhaps the greatest scene of acting in a motion picture, and gained more popularity after Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull," which featured Jake LaMotta (Robert De Niro) reciting the scene word-for-word in his dressing room.

The Zombies - Time of the Season

silvercord says...

This is from Wikipedia:


"Time of the Season" is a song by The Zombies, featured on the 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. The song was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in August 1967. Its breakthrough, however, did not occur before 1969, after the band had split up.

The song's characteristics include the unique voice of lead singer Colin Blunstone, the memorable bass riff, and Rod Argent's fast-paced psychedelic improvisation. The lyrics are an archetypical depiction of the emotions surrounding the Summer of Love. It is famous for its call-and-response verses "What's your name? (What's your name?)/Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)/(Is he rich?) Is he rich like me?".
