Choosing to focus, on hearing the news of Rob Reiner's passing, to remember this moment where he was so overcome with joy and laughter that he - the director of the movie - was one of many people banished from the set in order to finish filming.
TIL nearly all of the "Miracle Max" scene from Princess Bride was improvised by Billy Crystal, and it took three ten hour days to shoot, because they couldn't get through his improv without everyone (cast and crew) laughing so hard it ruined the audio.
Mandy Patinkin bruised a rib holding it in.

real Leo Ryan behavior here from Senator Van Hollen and that is legitimately the highest praise i can give a member of Congress
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I'm gonna need all the blue states to stop focusing on whether or not Canada still likes YOU because YOU are a good one and start fucking recognizing this *entire* country is going off a cliff.
No Canada does not like any of us! AS THEY SHOULD NOT! leave them alone, we got our own shit to focus on!

Among other things, how is this going to go when ICE starts disappearing Canadians coming here on vacation for “Elbows up” posts?
Gavin Newsom, Gov of California: "We're launching an international campaign to welcome and encourage Canadians to visit the Golden State."
My advice: Do not travel to the US. Period. Not Red state, not Blue state. Let them see we're serious about protecting Canada from Trump's 50-state Amerika.
