...perfect spiral, scientists are still figuring it out...
First time I remember hearing 'She's a Rainbow' was on Legion last year, and it's in some car commercial now. I thought it was a new song. It's by the Rolling Stones and is over 50 years old. How the gently caress did I miss that?

I'm still let down, 20+ years later, that after all that build-up all they could come up with for what they really, really want was "a zig-a-zig, ah". I mean, unless that's some 90s slang I never picked up.

Mr and Mrs Duck go and stay in a nice hotel.

One night they call room service for some condoms as things are heating up.

The guy arrives and says "do you want me to put it on your bill"

Mr Duck says "what kind of pervert do you think I am?!

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

I never did either and I was a teenager. To Google!

"Why? Well the anonymous co-writer told The Sun: ‘There was this one eighties pop dude who hated us for encroaching on what he considered ‘his turf’ which was boy bands and girl bands.
‘This guy had this nasty habit of taking a dump in the shared khazi while smoking a cigar, so we took to referring to him as ‘poo poo and Cigars’.’
So ‘zig-a-zig-ah’ might sound like nonsense, but in fact the girls were using it as a statement against the sexist figureheads in the music industry."

Apparently khazi is weird British slang for toilet so it is less horrifying than you might imagine. Cigar(ette) smoke I guess smells bad, but so does actual poo poo.

actually, that won't be necessary.
It’s weird though, because that phrase having something to do with sucking dick was prevalent enough that I heard it from my younger girl-cousin and we live in the land time really just can’t remember all that well.

e: I think she also implied it was something about an ox which may or may not have implied bestiality. We were quite young so I’m sure that word never came up.

Here's how I imagine it really happened: The songwriter needed 4 syllables to finish the line and just threw in some gibberish thinking, "No one is going to give a poo poo in 20 years. gently caress it. If the girls ask about it tell them some weird story and then say it's Girl Power." They had no idea...:stare:

Semi-related, it took me 30+ years to get a buried joke in Gaston from Beauty and the Beast; at the very end when LeFou is trying to spell Gaston's name, the E isn't just a guess, it's because "en" in French sounds similar to "on". I speak French. I just never thought about it. :v:

Hello I am a native french speaker and those are actually completely different sounds in all the regional accents I can think of. I don't think a french person would ever mistake one for the other. Very unrealistic movie.

I dunno, they're not the same sound, but it seems like at least a mistake that would make sense to a clearly not-very-bright LeFou, as opposed to throwing in a random vowel. I'm pretty sure I'm just overthinking it and haven't actually spoken French in a while :downs:

In the first Scream right before the principal gets killed, he briefly speaks to a janitor played by director Wes Craven who is named Fred and wears a brown fedora and a red-and-green sweater.

I'm trying to come up with a reference in the movie less subtle than that as a joke, but I'm having trouble.

Scream was great because it knew how ridiculous it and it's genre are and just reveled in it. It lovingly took the piss out of itself and gleefully dumped on its own origins in the most loving way imaginable.
