Your Bag of Nothing for Monday, April 21, 2025

  • A few quick thoughts about A Few Good Men.


    The film is directed by Rob Reiner. Do you remember Aunt Ginny?


    Kaffe: “I was expecting someone older.”
    Aunt Ginny: “Me too..”


    That’s his daughter-in-law, Maud Winchester. She is married to his son, Lucas.



    J.A. Preston, the judge in the film, does an exceptional job in the role, and I think everyone who has watched the film would totally agree without hesitation. He’s still alive at 92, and his last film credit was in 2006.





    Colonel Jessup sure showed his true colors, when, during his diatribe, he calls out Lt. Weinberg for no good reason.


    Ah heck, here’s the full clip.
  • I had The Godfather Part II on in the background on Saturday.


    Here’s an idea: how about a new TV series of Michael Coleone’s time in the Marine Corps?

  • I’m serious when I say this. I don’t think there’s been a more hurtful thing a woman has said or could ever say to a man in all of cinema than when Kay Coleone told Michael she didn’t have a miscarriage but had an abortion. My jaw literally dropped the first time I saw that scene.


  • My kids and I have this inside joke about them eating fresh pretzels and sipping on ICEEs at my funeral. So, when I came across this clip from The Family Guy, I just had to send it to them.
  • Last week, on Last Week with Jon Oliver, the host shared something I didn’t know about Eerie, Pennsylvania:





    Intrigued. I had to look up more about that story.



    You know what’s a funny coincidence? The president and CEO of VisitErie, Erie County’s tourism promotion agency, is named John Oliver, just like the television host. Their first name is just spelled differently. And of course, VisitErie is doing what it can to capitalize on the attention.
