gosh darn

If anyone missed it, and I’m not as timely as I should be, but Colin Farrell said the ‘S’ word at the end of Saturday Night Live last weekend — I demand an investigation.

I watched part of “Return of the Jedi” last night — a gift courtesy of my sis & Ed. I didn’t think I’d notice any extra scenes, as this is the “updated” Jedi, but there was a whole extra dance sequence complete with dancing aliens. I could’ve done without that… the post-911 release of ET is a perfect example of why director’s need to stick to their guns. Spielberg stuck to his walkie-talkies — in a key scene where FBI agents were carrying guns, they were replaced with radios. And the Mom declared that the child could NOT go trick-or-treating dressed as a “hippie” (originally it was a “terrorist”). Recently, due to pressure from the Parent’s Television Council, at the end of Casablanca Humphrey Bogart now declares, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a gosh-darn-doodle.”
