It’s grocery stores, too. I learned about Rushkoff’s “atmospherics” in Comm studies in college

I always thought Richard Dreyfus, who was in his mid 40s when he filmed Mr. Holland’s Opus, where he played a character from 30 to 60, looked 30 in real life and had to put on old makeup for the later parts of the film.
Turned out he put on a wig and younger makeup for the earlier parts of the film and had relatively minimal makeup playing a 60 year old.

I was teasing a friend once about his cute new girlfriend, and I told him she was so ugly I was going to stick her face in dough and make gorilla cookies, which is my favorite Aunt Esther insult. He thought it was so funny to this day her nick-name is Gorilla Cookies!

There’s something so morbidly funny to me that he died of a heart attack and people thought he was doing shtick when it happened.

I'm going to double-check on my way in tomorrow, but I'm fairly certain those were brief overlaps of location transitions.

“ A quarter of a minute” really makes you feel the weight of how long those seconds felt.

I just watched this show through for the first time and its reputation as one of the best sitcoms ever made is well deserved. If only I could find the spinoffs streaming somewhere…

He actually died from a heart attack reacting that famous line in front of people. They didn’t realize he was having a real heart attack.
