The Pink Panther “Does your dog bite?” gag was already 80 years old when Peter Sellers did it.
It’s an old vaudeville joke from the late 1800s, and it lands because the “Zimmer” line disarms you first. Plus Graham Stark was Sellers’ best friend; the timing was years in the making
Darth Vader feels less like a character and more like a force that takes over the screen the second he appears. Few villains in cinema history have ever had that level of presence without even needing to raise their voice.

@WokeMitt They hate liberals, or the idea of liberals, more than they love America. The right has also been masterful at weaponizing labels like socialist and communist - ask 10 people to define socialism and you’ll get 10 different answers. It’s just a cudgel.
@WokeMitt I just wonder if Comey is ever kept up at night with regrets about interfering in the 2016 election or if he really thinks he didn’t do anything wrong
