Gene Wilder only agreed to play Willy Wonka if he could make his first entrance with a limp that suddenly turned into a somersault. His reasoning was brilliant: the audience would never know when Wonka was telling the truth. Perfect casting.

@future42org Oh look, it turns out running the Transit Riders Union with a bunch of SEIU suck ups and yes men isn’t the same as running a city. Same as McGinn, amateur hour loser from Cascade Bike Club. Way to go Seattle electorate, you braindead boobs fall for this crap every time.
On this date in 1985 we were introduced to an adventurous group of kids, as "The Goonies" was released in theatres.

June 5, 1986
The iconic “Twist and Shout” parade scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was set on June 5th and filmed during Chicago’s real Von Steuben Day parade. Director John Hughes cleverly integrated the scene into the actual annual German-American parade, using real participants and spectators. Matthew Broderick performed on a float while thousands joined in singing and dancing. The sequence remains one of the most joyful and memorable moments in 1980s cinema.

Quiet dignity. Final Vulcan salute. Pure sacrifice. Leonard Nimoy nailed it. This scene changed Star Trek forever.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to catch Ferris Bueller skipping school when you have to leave straight from the office to go play third base for the White Sox that night?
