Fear not. Boats are driven from the right side, kinda like cars in London, thus the driver is not shown in that picture

I thought the driver of the boat got up and fell overboard?
The person skiing looks to be trying to get up to the boat
to get back in to take control but lost her balance. But, what
ever, we weren't there to help. Its all for laughs.

The last known photo taken of Laurel and Hardy.

95K views · 4.4K reactions | Oliver Hardy passed away on August 7, 1957. Stan Laurel followed on February 23, 1965. By the end, they weren’t just film comedians — they were the blueprint for the comedy duo itself. Their timing, physical elegance, and gentle absurdity shaped generations of performers who studied their silents the way musicians study Bach. For so many of us, it began the same way: sitting beside a parent, watching these two masters turn the simplest moments into something unforgettable. Decades later, the laughs still land, the character work still dazzles, and the warmth between them feels as real as ever. Some partnerships fade. Laurel & Hardy became timeless. #LaurelAndHardy #StanLaurel #OliverHardy #ClassicComedy #ComedyLegends #SilentFilm #FilmHistory #GoldenAgeHollywood #VintageFilm #TimelessComedy #ClassicMovies #comedy #SNL | Love Gilda

A classic All in The Family scene w/Archie and Meathead going at it.

262K views · 8.5K reactions | Like many of you, I was stunned to learn of the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. In his memory, I'd like to share a great clip from the All In The Family episode "Flashback - Mike Meets Archie" (season 2, episode 5, original airdate October 16, 1971). Upon hearing the news of his passing, how many of us said "Meathead died?" This is the scene where Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor), in flashback, calls Michael Stivic "Meathead" for the first time. And as you might imagine, Michael doesn't like it. "Now I see what your idea of a free country is. You're free to say anything you want, but if anyone disagrees with you they're either thrown into jail or called a meathead!" Archie: "That's right, 'cause this is America, land that I love." Michael: "Well, I love it too, Mr. Bunker! It's because I do that I protest when I think things are wrong!" Archie: "Then stand beside her. And guide her. Through the night, with the light from above." At this point, Archie's essentially doing a spoken-word version of God Bless America. Michael tries to get his point across, but Archie isn't having any of it. "From the mountains. To the prairies. To the oceans, white with foam. God bless America, you dumb--" and his next word is a slur insulting Michael's Polish ancestry. Michael's reaction to the slur, as magnificently performed by Rob Reiner, steals the scene. | Gary Dunaier

I saw Oppenheimer on the big screen in a double header with Zone of Interest (same multiplex) a couple of years ago. Wifey has us hooked up to see Wuthering Heights in a theater soon.

Wait a minute....there's a Wuthering Heights movie? You gotta be kidding. That was one of two books assigned to me in high school that I refused to finish. That $hit was terrible. Second one was Mark Twain's 'A Yankee in King Arthur's Court '. They really made a movie out of that Victorian dribble?
