You Can't Handle The Truth!
Did you know that most of the movie A Few Good Men was written on cocktail napkins? Aaron Sorkin was working as a bartender at the Palace Theater during the 80's. The napkins were free, so Sorkin turned them into mini napkin scripts.

I Like Brown Food
Alton Brown's food, that is.
You Are Good Eats |
You are a bit of a food geek, and you see the kitchen as your laboratory. Food fascinates you, especially food science. You enjoy testing out new recipes and cooking techniques. It's not enough for you to know that something works... you have to know why it works. You are a huge goofball and have a silly sense of humor. You like to play around in the kitchen. |
Badlands
Loosely based upon the Starkweather-Fugate multi-state killing spree in 1958, Badlands was the first major role for both stars, Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. The movie is compelling in a low-key, non-sensationalist way, so different than today's similar films.
Other than the superb acting and the outstanding cinematography, the most memorable thing about the film - for me, at least - is the soundtrack. Carl Orff's Musica Poetica manages to capture the whimsical mood of the killers as they committed their horrific crimes and yet at the same time is strangely uplifting.
