No other film ending has ever gone this hard. Every time this rolls up on-screen I immediately think, “Damn right I have.”

Did not know this about Old Bay
The origins of the company can be traced back to Wertheim, Germany, where Brunn started a wholesale spice and seasoning business selling to food industries, seeing an opportunity as spices were in especially short supply amidst hyperinflation in the aftermath of World War I. 9] Due to rising antisemitism as the Nazi Party rose to power, the company moved to Frankfurt, Germany; 1°1 however, on the night of November 9, 1938, a massive pogrom against Jews, known as Kristallnacht, led to Brunn being arrested by Nazi soldiers and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. " According to Brunn's son, Gustav's wife paid a large sum of money to a lawyer for him to be released; as they had already applied for and received American visas, they were able to escape with their two children to New York City and later Baltimore, Maryland, where Brunn had family.!'! There, having brought with him only a small spice grinder, 8! Brunn founded the Baltimore Spice Company and produced the "Delicious Brand Shrimp and Crab Seasoning", which was later renamed Old Bay. 12[13]

I'm asking because gender obviously will do interesting things to this story. Like as if in the movie they start making moves against the fathers when the kids are entering adolescence, what does it mean that one of the kids understands herself to be a girl? And has a supportive family?

Oh this could be so good, in keeping with Boys from Brazil, the adoptive parents have no clue to the larger plan?

Honestly, a straight-faced PG animated adventure for kids in this style would be great.

I absolutely loved having this long conversation with Tim Curry, whose memoir comes out Tuesday. He told terrific stories about, among others, Meat Loaf, Ivana Trump, John Huston, Truman Capote, and Miss Piggy. What a life! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The actor and singer discusses the origins of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” his relationship with David Bowie, and the joy of working with Miss Piggy.

I admit the small petty part of me that watched their run of flops that ended with them coming crawling back to the slop factory.
