I agree. I appreciate Variety’s boldness here but there’s no way the Zapruder film should be at number 1
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I know I told this story on the other site, but I worked for an indy league baseball team in Lynn, MA during the summer of 1997. Midway through the season, we signed Oil Can to a contract.

As a kid I had no idea the origin of the nickname "Oil Can" but I was also pretty oblivious
It also took me until super late in my mom's life to realize we used to drive home from out-of-town family get-togethers super early Monday morning rather than Sunday night because she drank the previous day
