the fact he may carve out time to attend two basketball games merely weeks after saying he didn’t have time to attend his own son’s wedding is objectively hilarious 😂
Fun fact: Donald O’Connor - a chronic smoker - had to perform this whole routine twice because of a problem with the camera. After the second take he was hospitalised for three days. Make ‘Em Laugh indeed
@coopercooperco Parts of this movie get stuck in my head like a song, and it has so much to offer on a rewatch. Love augie burning his hand on the grill and the general’s speech “that was life”

learning for the first time rob reiner and his wife met while he was filming WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and meeting her made him change the ending so that harry and sally were together in the end
My old head Red Hook roommate knew a local beekeeper who kept their hives near the maraschino cherry factory by Valentino park. One year their bees and honey started turning bright red, tasting weird and no one could figure out why. Eventually they realized the bees were getting into syrup waste that oozed into the street from the cherry factory, so they tested the honey which came back full of Red #40, the same dye used in maraschino cherries
They filed an environmental complaint which kicked off more scrutiny of the factory, and when investigators searched the place they discovered a huge illegal weed grow beneath it. The owner (known as the “Cherry King”) shot himself when nypd confronted him during the raid. There’s still red goo that oozes out from under the roll-up gates
