Damn, did not know that. Never heard of that website but they appear to have done some homework. I think their "rate" is the industry standard, but it's a rate based on a much larger pool of money than almost any other show in history. She had to have gotten to a quarter billion somehow, her family trust doesn't kick off near that amount. Alexander and Kramer are both worth ~$50MM each with more on the way given the new-ish streaming upgraded deal. Julia also benefits from a large chunk of "New Christine" syndication which continues to this day, as well as a sizable deal with HBO for VEEP rights.
As usual with licensing, a small percentage of a large pool is better than a large percentage of a small pool. I can see now whey Larry and Jerry are always reluctant to talk about it. Curious what some of the recurring characters and writers made off of it. I know that Alec Berg made a fucking killing on it and rolled a great deal of that money into "Curb" where he'll live off of DVD/streaming sales until his great-greandchildren are gone.
Anyway, hard to believe when watching "Christmas Vacation", that Chevy Chase would end up in relative obscurity and Russ and the next door neighbor would be by far the two longest-lasting talents from the movie, by far. Unless you count Ruby Sue's portrayal as the same girl who was the daughter in those fucked up scenes in "Fatal Attraction" I think they still send her $5000/year from VHS sales for her therapy.
Let’s not forget Juliette Lewis. I went 3/4ths of my life not realizing Geoffrey Lewis was her Dad.
Her brother has some pretty cool home movie/80s montage videos out there that show I bit of their childhood growing up. Think they are on TT.
Also - my CSB addition to this thread - was extremely surprised when I went to see Muse back in 2006-2007 and Juliette and the Licks opened up. “Damn she looks very familiar….”. -
Yep. I do find it amusing that the two richest people in that movie are the kid and the woman neighbor.
Google says Galecki is at 100 mil and JLD is headed for a billion (250 mil on the books but she is set to inherit a lot more). Not too shabby. -
Saw some good ones recently - and a lot of bad ones.
Thomas Crown Affair (probably for fifth time) - Extremely well done. Great dialogue. Rene Russo is cool.
O Brother Where Art Thou - Very damn funny. Seen it any number of times too. Still LOLed. A lot like Fargo - not the least bit formulaic. Wasn't Fargo made by the same team?
This is the End. Seth Rogan, All Star Cast. Funny as shit.
True Romance. Christian Slater, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, Gary Oldman, and Elvis - If you haven't seen this, you're missing it. The consumate Romance/Action/Thriller.
Hats off to you sir. Not a huge fan of “This is this end” but the other three are top notch - and yes, Coen Brothers. You should celebrate their entire catalogue.-

Jojo Rabbit gets better every time I watch it. Making its way in to my all time favorites list.

Threads. Damn. No punches pulled.
Watched this not too long ago myself and it’s as rough as advertised. -
Ummm if you haven’t taken the opportunity to watch those highlights. Good lord.

Never seen it, 10 year old nephew wants to watch it. Anything crazy?
Oh yeah, there are some crazy parts for sure. That’s a good question though. I think the question would be what is their horror movie experience? My 10 year daughter loved it but we are a horror movie family.
Definitely a solid step up from Gremlins or anything like that.-

Krampus. lol.


Krampus every year for the last 4-5 years. It’s playing in the theater here locally this year. Looking forward to that with the fam. -
Too many people to quote on this so far but regarding the pool and the bonus...
Clark already put down a 7k deposit on the pool - he says it in the movie. And he says he doesn't have enough in checking to cover that.
Bonuses back in the 80s were a huge chunk of changed that was an expected although not guaranteed part of a salary; from what I've read or heard from older family members, anywhere from 20-30% of the salary. Eliminating it would have been a big deal.
I love these movie conversations. We were doing the same with Home Alone yesterday. How much it would cost to fly the extended family to Paris and how pissed the uncle must have been that the vacation was ruined. Round trip ticket to Paris in the late 80s for 15ish people? 50k? -
I’ve sent that Weekend Update to so many people this morning.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that hard at SNL. Probably Stefon years ago.-

The writing is so f'n good. Sipowicz. I damn near spit my drink out.
I liked the first episode - but the campfire scene was corny as hell. Sitting around singing Elton John? Just strange and out of place.
Kinda like the skinny kid kicking his ass in season 1.-

Someone post the Coming to America scene where Eddie Murphy talks about the Giants of New York taking on the Packers of Green Bay.
It was most exhilarating. -
I almost died of frostbite there on 1995 when SFA played them and got destroyed 70-14. Got off the plane and it was 4 with a 30 mph wind. The game kickoff temp was like 6. We had no chance to compete in that weather. Great environment and fun city - went back in 2009 when it was a balmy 27.
Respect. I feel like I was getting updates from Sports Shack or Getaway at the time. -
By God this is my 'best money you will ever spend' line as well. I fucking hate helping so much that I will seriously consider paying for two hours for movers. The day isn't lost. You don't have to take stupid instructions from so called friends for where they want their shit. And you can keep your God damn pizza and cheap beer because you wanted to save while moving into your $500k house.
Movers and good pair of jeans are worth it.
I said tailored suit, but didn’t think about jeans. I buy AG jeans and keep them for years and damn it seems worth it to me.
A good haircut is another thing.-

You don't have to pre-clean before the maid!?
Oh absolutely. Drives my kids crazy. “Why do we have to clean our rooms for the maids?”
-
A good car wash/detail. It’s never perfect, they always miss some corner, but dammit my car drives better after someone else washes it. I haven’t washed a car in a while and I plan to keep it that way.
I would extend this to maid service. Love coming home after maids have been there. Humblebrag?-

As someone that has attempted to save money and move myself a few times through the years, I can say with certainty that hiring movers is the most satisfying money you can spend (keeping this SFW).
A few other instances that could make the list:
- Divorce lawyer (basing this on the fact I did NOT hire an attorney and wish I had).
- Lawn guy (I know this is a touchy subject for some and their man-card).
- Fishing guide
- Tailored suit
- Dream car
- Media room
Others?

but Norm was a police officer too! He voluntarily stepped aside when Margie got pregnant because they decided only one of them should be on the force and he - correctly - determined that Margie was the better officer.
I'm not trying to pick a fight. Your point is well made and understood. I just love Fargo (the film) and am having a little fun defending one of my favorite minor characters.
Love to find the Fargo (film) people. Not the “it’s a great movie” people, the “top 5-10 all time” people.
Norm Son Of A Gunderson is great.-

I have mixed feelings. Texas could have a shot this year. Under the new system, OU would too.
After a few years of undefeated and 1-loss teams getting upset by 2-3 loss teams everyone will be bitching about how great it was before the 12 team format.-

Ran across this one on Amazon Prime. Pretty solid flick with that hot chick from Dexter and Chuck.

There is a horror movie thread somewhere. -
Between “who has the best win” vs “who has the worst loss” it should always be the former - the goal should be to get a team in based on what they are capable of at their best.

Did you have a stroke while typing this?
Louisville is not good and they’re going to get tied face down to a bedpost ass-fucked by FSU and we’re going to miss the fucking playoffs. In the year year that we could beat any team in the country on a good day. It’s bullshit because FSU doesn’t belong there.
Lock all these threads and sticky this to the top.-

This just isn’t a year of upsets - it’s infuriating that it happens to be the year that we have a team that is probably a top 3 team talent wise. The shit ain’t happening. We have gotten zero help and today was just continuous kicks to the balls.
The loss to a mid OU team was colossal and we will be saying “what if” for years to come.
(Unless FSU loses then maybe?) lulz

Driving behind a bunch of people on mini bikes sounds like enough to make anybody rage.
