That Movie You Love, Part Four
Oh yeah... the midget bar fight scene in "Jackass 3D" had me gasping for air at the movie theater. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl4ButVeOUQ— May 25, 2017 8:20 p.m.
That Movie You Love, Part Four

Dig a hole: Hugh O’Brian
Really useless trivia: Hugh O'Brian was the ONLY Hollywood celebrity to attend the 2003 funeral of "Mr. Chicago" - Irv Kupcinet. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2016/s…— September 9, 2016 7:47 p.m.
Growing up Elvis
Other intriguing bits of trivia about "It Happened At The World's Fair": = Vicky Tiu, the child actress who plays "Sue Lin" grew up to marry Ben Cayetano (Democratic Party), the fifth governor of the State of Hawaii in 1997. Tiu later said that, while Elvis Presley was a joy to work with, she hated working with director Norman Taurog. For a scene where Sue-Lin cries, Taurog got real tears from Vicky by telling her that her beloved grandmother had just died. = Elvis' script from the movie is included in his exhibit at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The script is opened to the page where Kurt Russell's character kicks Elvis in the shins. = Dolores Fuller wrote the song "Beyond The Bend" that opened the film (see video below). She was the one-time girlfriend of Ed Wood Jr. - memorably portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker in the only good Tim Burton movie "Ed Wood". = Col. Tom Parker wanted Elvis to look more slick for this film. So he sent Elvis to Jerry Lewis' favorite tailor, Sy Devore. The wardrobe, consisting of ten suits, four sports jackets, 30 shirts, 15 pairs of slacks, two cashmere coats, and 55 ties, cost about $10,000. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP4exUDIeow— July 28, 2016 11:07 a.m.
Comic book classics on screen
With the exception of "That's Amore", this number could have been the best song Dean ever sang during his time with Jerry. I can hear Scott now "You mean you've never heard of "The Parachute Jump"?" Shirley MacLaine was never lovelier or funnier than this sequence with Dean, then Jerry. And the genius of Frank Tashlin was never more evident by securing laughs without Jerry uttering a word. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEE4WBWN2gU— July 28, 2016 10:49 a.m.
