In my experience the process for getting a ticket into the Louvre and going is way more French/arduous than Euro Disney.

Sadly this article leaves out the Smokey and the Bandit TV movies from the 90s, where Smokey is dropped and it’s just Bandit and he drives a Dodge Stealth fighting bootleggers and carnies. Also one entry has the best title of all time:

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it
black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

Remembering Carole Lombard, born Jane Alice Peters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on today's date in 1908. If you could recommend one movie to someone who's not yet a fan, which would you pick? Today, I'd go with Twentieth Century (1934).

After intense analysis, I think the miniature reindeer in a fur coat Jean Arthur is trying to murder may just be a stuffed animal.

French poster for the Marx Brothers classic DUCK SOUP (1933)

Posters like this one which make you want to see the movie but also make you hungry for soup are a lost art
Poster features a painting of the Marx Brothers serving soup in a restaurant to well-to-do customers.
