In Blinkende Lygter (Flickering Lights) (2000) dir: Anders Thomas Jensen, there is a running joke about the Danish TV series Matador which occupied 24 episodes of greatly varying lengths from 1978 to 1984 and is by far the most popular Danish TV program ever. We only see two shorts clips of it onscreen, but many scenes show some or all of the four main characters watching it or arguing about it. Finally, the gang leader, who had watched it twelve times (or so he says) throws the television set out of the window. Curiously, the TV series is referred to as "Rich Man, Poor Man" in the movie. Apparently Swedish TV butchered it by re-cutting the 24 episodes into 36 of identical lengths. What have you got to say for yourself, teleadmin? Have you seen it?

The Matador episodes that is 50 minutes, that sounds more like they've been edited to suit certain time slots to be easier to sell on the international market by the Danes themselves.

Guess everyone already knows the inmates in the movie The Shawshank Redemption loved watching Gila (1946). If I may go a bit off-topic: I am fascinated with the fictitious movie Bartholomew the Strangler that was referenced in Sabotage (1936). I hope someone actually makes a movie named Bartholomew the Strangler. The title sounds so interesting. I used this gif on the gif game on film general - my clue was "It's NOT The Shawshank Redemption". Rita Hayworth was completely gorgeous and sexy. I just got "The Lady from Shanghai" dvd at a retail bin and will be fixing to watch it in the next week. I bet I will like it.

In "Dressed to Kill", Nancy Allen's character has "The Phil Donahue Show" going on in the background! He was such a schmuck, though. I never did like PD, so condescending and superior.

The last time I was at the dentist office, I had to wait forever and there was Phil Donahue's autobiography on the waiting room table, so I read it. Whatever, Phil. I just find him dull.

Nice. I'm glad you gave his book a spin in the dental surgery.

I don't hate him or anything. He's just like a liberal Mr. Potato Head.

If you watch the earliest Donahue (with the atheist) he was totally different. He was shy and mild-mannered. Either it went to his head or he was told to act up more for the crowds.
It seemed that when Oprah came along he was given the heave ho in a way, despite remaining on the air. I remember he had Morton Downey Jr on his show and had to appear on his! He did not look comfortable.
One show had him getting makeup for the Planet of the Apes applied to him. Never seen the episode but has me curious.

Okay, so I am looking at the picture of Phil and Oprah and I see so much body language going on there. Oprah is trying to intimidate (no big surprise) and Phil is letting her do it. First, Oprah is all settled comfy in her seat, not budging an inch, and Phil is the one sitting up and reaching over to her. Oprah is making direct eye contact, no backing down for her, she's aiming for the kill, whereas Phil's eye contact averts. Also, there is something in his smile that is hesitant, as if he maybe he doesn't really like her, or is uncomfortable for some reason. Fourth, look at the hand clasp. Phil is clearly UNDER HER THUMB! I am not necessarily a fan of Phil Donahue, but I do dislike Oprah. Oh, she's just a whole bunch of new kinds of phony. Don't like her.

Oprah was hit and miss for me. Tooooo much hype and not to mention that twit and all his staged s<>t, Jerry Springer. He exploited African Americans and some of their behavior. Dick Cavett, Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers, where are you when we need you? DC had THE best guest spot line ups ever! Raquel Welch, Janis Joplin AND Gloria Swanson... Wowza! Jerry Springer. Oh, dear. "Jerry Springer, you ain't nothing but a stupid kid from Cincinatti! Just a shit stain on the panties of life!"

You'd be ideal for jury service.

In Daisy Kenyon (1949), Henry Fonda is in a diner across from a theatre showing both Mr. Lucky (1943) and The Woman in the Window (1944).

In Diner (1982), they see A Summer Place (1959), which involves Mickey Rourke doing a certain popcorn trick. There's also scenes from or mentions of Little Women (1949), The Seventh Seal (1957) and Sweet Smell of Success (1957). One character's only lines are quotes from Sweet Smell of Success!

In the Soviet TV series Seventeen Moments of Spring [Семнадцать мгновений весны](1973) dir: Tatyana Lioznova, the hero, a Russian agent posing as an SS officer, likes to meet his informants in a certain Berlin cinema. We see him watching The Woman of my Dreams [Die Frau meiner Träume] (1944) starring Marika Rökk and directed by her husband Georg Jacoby. It was a massive hit, but our hero is sick of watching it over and over during his meetings. He says he hates the movie. Which is ironic, because in real life Rökk and Jacoby were part of the Soviet spy network which passed on the Nazi battle plans before the decisive battle of Kursk.
