It is entirely irrelevant whether the speech was written for her, or by her. It is also irrelevant whether she portrayed a "stereotype" or not. She won. Over other white actresses. "Nuff said.

I'm 50 years old and remember this from TV 4 decades ago. IMHO, this is THE version of the song - better than Disney & Brandy's version much later. It was a made-for-television production; and the reproduction here is poor (although a much better version has been blocked by YouTube). But overall,...

@aaron13133 Via isn't "owned" by CN it's a separate Crown Corporation. It's on CN tracks because CP doesn't want passenger trains on their tracks anymore, save the Rocky Mountaineer, which pays a huge chuck of change to the CPR for the rights.

@Valayku In the beginning, when they're both kids, Ellie makes Carl promise to do things and to "cross his heart" to show he means it. In the end, she has written in her book "Thanks for the adventure! Go have a new one". He's crossing his heart to promise her that he will.

Dug is in the crib at 0:50 with Alpha!

From a military standpoint, Syria and its air force must be neutralized first because it lies between Israel and Iran and is directly beneath the flight path. Of the Arab League air forces, Egypt's, Libya's and Iraq's are all out of commission. American forces are now positioned between any possi...

@mvv8383 It's and English folksong "Early One Morning".

Whatever happened to "hanging pirates from the highest yardarm"? If the Royal Navy were to revert to that, piracy would plummet overnight.

@veebeeOz It is the ending of the film "The Great Dictator". Charlie Chaplin portrays a Hitler-like European dictator who is seeking world domination. It is a silent movie, right up until the ending here, when Chaplin breaks the fourth wall, and for the first time in his career, speaks directly t...

Wow! Great film! Seeing Stratford with the railway shops in their final glory was fantastic. So much of that history is now gone. Thank you for posting this wonderful window on the past!

The prologue is voiced by the late, great Sir Lawrence Olivier.

Typically WestJet. But IMHO they are opening the door to one hell of a lawsuit in the event of an actual emergency. With the amount of international travel today, they should consider that they may have passengers for whom English is not a first or even second language. The emergency instructions...

@findingpokey At $20 a bag you'd better believe it!

@zazw3 That's what the destination tags with airport codes are for!

Obviously Amber Riley has channelled Aretha Franklin's version of "Bridge". Nice though it is, it is quite a way from Roberta Flack's version, which is almost a hymn.

What I love about this song is that it is, by and large, melancholic, and is performed in a minor key. Then, right at the end, Nina sings the word "change" with a determination in her voice and a major chord to finish, as if to say "change is not always a bad thing".

If you banked the curves slightly and kept the camera angle lower so you couldn't see the fence or house you'd swear it was the real thing!

I love the BA tank car! That takes me back!

@chrishunt646 Because the musical theme is based on this chant.

And to think that the Roman Catholic Church abandoned this music for those "Glory and Praise" guitar hymns! Ugh!

@DukeofUSA It is the flag from the movie.

@FlamingLavaOwl Thought Criminal! Room 101 for you!

@24nov67 Thought criminal! You shall be taken to Room 101!

Of course time travel is possible. We're all moving into the future at exactly 60 minutes per hour!

@davidrodgersNJ The ship was named after the President and CEO of the company that owned the ship. His grandfather had been a lake boat captain.

@vyturunen91 It was done in English because the director was trying to illustrate that Mozart had written the opera in the language of the common people, not in Italian. Since the dialogue of the film is in English, the clips from The Magic Flute as well as The Abduction from the Seraglio were su...

DD's version is lovely, and the original, but I am more partial to Julie London's treatment. DD's voice is youthful, optomistic, determined; Julie's is more wistful, resigned, and you almost hear the resignation in it that the lyric more properly rendered would be "IF I fall in love..." Still, b...

Attention Diana Krall , Michael Buble and Susan Boyle: This is why you should never, ever touch the signature song of another singer. It only invites comparison - in a negative way!

Whoops! The cop lifted up the water pipe without wearing gloves! Now his fingerprints are all over it and any lawyer worth his fee would argue it was planted!

Ya wanna go FASTAH?!

The CNE called it the "Alpine Way". There was a Bavarian beer garden at the west end! Note the "Conklin" carnies!

@ohthreetom Because in 1912 the British Merchant Marine still used the "tiller" commands for helm control. With a tiller, if you push the handle to starboard the vessel turns to port and vice versa.
