Must be nice to see it on today’s nice big screens with high definition. In my day, we had to watch movies on 22 inches of curved glass, usually sitting at a funny angle, TEN FEET AWAY with our parents constantly telling us to get up and bring the dog in, get up and get me a Pepsi, get up and answer the phone!

You kids with your noticeable noose. HOW DARE YOU?

Yeah, the noose is almost invisible if you’ve never heard about it before. Such a great moment. I’d watched the movie a dozen times on various TVs, but it took a trip to a real theater for a midnight screening for me to see that the Dr. Copper has a very slender, gold nose ring in his face for the whole movie.
