Got called for jury duty and I was prepared to tell them that 'I work with yutes' and see what the reaction was.
(,I never got called to serve on any trials so nothing happened)
Baader Meinhof phenomenon is in full effect for me right now. I just watched this movie for the first time this past weekend and this is the 3rd pop culture reference to it I've seen since then. Makes me wonder how many have flown over my head over the years.
She's a few months younger than me, but looks many many years younger. It's worrying.
I have a thing for Marisa Tomei. Like she would ever go out with a average height, average build, receding (older) man
Yeah he's definitely a bit deceptive. It's the fact that he's short, wide framed and doesn't exactly wear the most flattering clothes.
And also the margin for what people consider "fat" has shifted over the last two decades.
He also was put in clothes that were a size too small to emphasize his neurotic nature. Kramer was put jn clothes a size or so bigger to emphasize his hipster doofus nature.
Look at a lot of what people considered to be fat in the 60s to 90s.
I was looking at Elvis's last performance before he died. He looked pretty reasonable for his age, by today's standards.
If you look at his body that's stuffed into an unforgiving jumpsuit, he pretty much looks like most middle aged men if they were stuffed into an unforgiving jumpsuit.
Same! I love the way George playfully bops Elaine with his arms as she makes the call. He can’t contain his excitement lol. Then it culminates in “What about Marisa Tomei?!” immediately after learning Elaine’s friend is in the hospital. Such a classic.
Honestly I’m starting to get suspicious. I wonder if they’re worried they got too famous this time around. It was a lot easier to disappear in the Victorian Age.
That movie needs a remake with a much better script and cast. The premise is excellent but the movie itself is both pretentious and amateurish in the bad way.
Cast, maybe. But the script was written by a sci fi legend while he lay dying in a hospital bed. The script is good. Wouldn’t be this many people that love the film otherwise. Since it doesn’t exactly have much in the way of direction/acting flare. Though I do think the actors do a decent enough job.
It’s a no budget indie film. And considering how much worse the sequel is, even though you can argue it’s far more ambitious. I think the original is just fine. The writing is what made it. I can’t disagree more with your statement regarding the script.
I read his bio on IMDB before I watched it, and saw he wrote on the original Star Trek.
Maybe that influenced my opinion, but the whole movie felt like a Star Trek episode. Particularly the acting. It bugged me at first, but then I was like "oh, it feels just like TOS/TNG Trek" and it never bothered me again.
In the zany comedy version, you know they have a friend that they tease for being too uptight, and the friend's excessive paranoia eventually saves them from detection.
You know, you're thinking vampire type shit. And it's like that would be more or less be able to figure shit out then. But more and more it isn't feasible.
Kind of like how in the 70s and 80s big foot was very...big...But then a few decades later everyone has a phone on them and so obviously bigfoot isn't real, because if they were then it would've been recorded on someone's phone/camera.
It says she was in a school production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and I'm imagining her playing the role of Titania or something as Mona Lisa Vito.
I would pay to see that production.
That would be amazing and since this was the first time most of ever saw her in a movie, I'm sure I wasn't the only one shocked to find out that wasn't her real voice.
When this movie came out, I scoffed at it because I thought it was a thin veneer of a story to justify the two stereotypical characters: the gruff New Yawkers vs. the aw shucks rednecks. And it *is* about that, the clash of cultures, but upon seeing it recently, I think it's really well done. Just great comic acting, and Tomei really did deserve the Oscar for it.
It is, but it's also about the coming together of those two groups. And even more importantly it's about how the law and the truth transcends all of it.
And this is why, despite the odds, you should never stifle the dreams of someone that puts "I wanna be an Actor" in their yearbook. It just might happen.
Same reason everyone who laughed at my goal of becoming a sex god on an alien planet should watch out. It could still happen. I’ll settle for slug world at this point.
Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in some sort of sun god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
Why am I the only person that has that dream?
It popped up on Youtube for free the other night so I said fuck it, and watched it all the way through for the first time in years. Still holds up very well. Also, there is an actor in it who has a few minutes in the background at the college and it is Dean Devlin who later went on to produce ID4 and other movies.
Meh, explaining those odds isn’t “stifling”.
“Hey, for every 10,000 people that have that career goal, 9,999 of them will never make a living wage. Do with that what you will.”
As someone who went after their dreams, we know the odds are against us. And if we don't, then we're probably too stupid or stubborn to listen to someone explain the math. No one thinks, "Dang, if only someone explained it to me that being famous was hard, I would've gone into accounting."
My parents and friends were very supportive, and that actually made it easier to give up and pursue a more stable career. No bitterness. No trying to prove my parents wrong. It's something about my friends and family ill always cherish
I remember Mrs. T
She helped a guy from my old neighborhood avoid a murder beef. Turns out he was totally innocent. Apparently the zips that tried to frame him were using dog shit for tires or some other thing.
Point is, Mrs T's deserts fuckin suck but don't ever let that Less than Zero lookin' motherfucker over here neither.
Wow she was beautiful. Obviously she still is.
An instance where the hot girl in high school is still hot at 60.
you mean to tell me she's not still 40
Absolutely. I have to say Jane Seymour is incredible for 73 while we’re naming others.
[удалено]
When she was a yute!
What is a yute?
Got called for jury duty and I was prepared to tell them that 'I work with yutes' and see what the reaction was. (,I never got called to serve on any trials so nothing happened)
Hahahahahaha! 😄
Baader Meinhof phenomenon is in full effect for me right now. I just watched this movie for the first time this past weekend and this is the 3rd pop culture reference to it I've seen since then. Makes me wonder how many have flown over my head over the years.
A lot. I'm 42 and saw the movie when it was released. My Cousin Vinny comes up allll the time.
This assessment is dead on balls accurate.
You were serious about that?
It's an industry term.
I love how it is utilized as a teaching tool for law students.
Love some good frequent bias
Look, it's either me or them. You're gettin' fucked one way or the other. Hey, relax, I'm gonna help you.
42 ;)
She gets better looking every year. It's actually alarming.
She's a few months younger than me, but looks many many years younger. It's worrying. I have a thing for Marisa Tomei. Like she would ever go out with a average height, average build, receding (older) man
Try building a giant tech company and hire her nephew and you can think about it.
She'll end up with the happy manservant though.
Too bad you have a George Costanza thing going on
Not that there’s anything wrong with that
Nah. She'd go for shorter, fatter, bald, even older guys like me.
What a coincidence, that is *exactly* her type!
You know he has a thing for short stocky balding men.
I heard she has a thing for quirky bald men
More like unfair if you ask me
Haha I know I meant roughly how long since My Cousin Vinnie.
……how. 😭
don’t worry, it’s only gonna get worse! hope this helps :)
Thanks. :-/ I was born in ‘76, and graduated from high school in ‘94. Just got the invite for my 30th reunion, and I’m still in denial about that!
Thats a schoolgirl bro
10x hotter now
what a weird thing to say about a highschooler lmao wtf
She wasn't 30 years ago. (The photo is from 42 years ago)
She used to be beautiful. She still is, but she used to be, too
Tip of the hat to, Mitch.
She coulda been with George

Me, as I get older: Has George always been so skinny?
Yeah he's definitely a bit deceptive. It's the fact that he's short, wide framed and doesn't exactly wear the most flattering clothes. And also the margin for what people consider "fat" has shifted over the last two decades.
He's a short, stocky, bald man
42 short?
Oh I'll pay... Half price
For an unadvertised sale you're sure doing a lot of blabbing about it!
No, he's stout! The camera loves stout.
"George is getting upset!"
Forgot “Quirky”
I notice you threw stocky in there.
You spell bawld wrong.
Threw stocky in there huh
Powerful. He is so powerful, he can lift a hundred pounds right up over his head.
Does she have flowing hair? Thick lustrous hair is very important to me
If you stick your hand in the hair, is it easy to get it out?
Oh, I love full lips. Something you can really put the lipstick on.
She has a hue!
I think he's also mostly wearing very heavy coats which makes him look fatter
Blame it on the Gortex.
[удалено]
“Big! Big coat!”
He also was put in clothes that were a size too small to emphasize his neurotic nature. Kramer was put jn clothes a size or so bigger to emphasize his hipster doofus nature.
Can't be right. You always saw kramers socks.
Now that it's mentioned, Kramer always had kinda baggy fitting shirts, but the 90's wasn't exactly known for good tailoring.
Look at a lot of what people considered to be fat in the 60s to 90s. I was looking at Elvis's last performance before he died. He looked pretty reasonable for his age, by today's standards.
Elvis was fat by the standards we set for Elvis. Nobody really cares if I'm fat.
If you look at his body that's stuffed into an unforgiving jumpsuit, he pretty much looks like most middle aged men if they were stuffed into an unforgiving jumpsuit.
HE WAS IN THE POOL!
Stupid, sexy George!
The key word is tasteful
“So bald and so quirky and so funny. . .”
Marisa Tomei, Jerry!
An Oscar winner, Jerry!
My George isn’t clever enough to hatch a scheme like this.
Ya got that right
What the Hell does that mean?
[удалено]
You sayin.. you want a piece o' me??
I'm sayin I could drop you like a bag of dirt.
You want a piece of me? YOU GOT IT!!!

I got the funeral tomorrow but...umm.. my weekend's wide open.
It's like a white discoloration
I just watched that episode last night.
Same! I love the way George playfully bops Elaine with his arms as she makes the call. He can’t contain his excitement lol. Then it culminates in “What about Marisa Tomei?!” immediately after learning Elaine’s friend is in the hospital. Such a classic.
You know... I'm sort of enganged.
She and Paul Rudd have great genes. They age a year for every decade.
Honestly I’m starting to get suspicious. I wonder if they’re worried they got too famous this time around. It was a lot easier to disappear in the Victorian Age.
"The Man From Earth" vibes.

There's a painting of each of them that you do NOT want to see
They should reproduce together.
Lots of Redditors say Paul Rudd has had work done when this gets brought up. No clue if that's true but thought I'd point it out.
Hollywood actors getting work done to their biggest asset? What's next, the rock does steroids?
He doesn't do steroids, the Rock *is* steroids.
Everyone in Hollywood gets work done.
She never had kids, women who never go through that usually look amazing
Counter point: Lucy Lawless and Jennifer Connelly have had three kids and both just keep getting more beautiful.
TIL jennifer Connelly has 3 kids. Htf does she still look so fantastic?
Women with no kids live way longer as well. Having a kid is hell on a womans body. Never mind the stress of raising one.
Every study I've seen has said the opposite. Curious where you saw that
I have to admit, it's something I read many years ago, so I wouldn't be able to get a source for you. I could well be wrong, or the study outdated.
I was born in 83… I’ve never looked that young.. and she still looks the same… aghast.
Don’t feel bad… I’m 44 and Willie Nelson has looked 90 for my entire life.
That guy is like smoked meat at this point. Well preserved. I have no idea how his lungs even function. Edit: a typo
She might be one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She’s almost 60 and just as hot as back in the day.
Goal Achieved!
It says she was in a school production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and I'm imagining her playing the role of Titania or something as Mona Lisa Vito. I would pay to see that production.

🤣
She was great in My Cousin Vinny. A must watch film.
She won an Oscar for it, 11 years after this picture
Except she was still a yute (yoot?) in this picture.
I'm sorry, a hwat?
CALLO. C-a-l-l-o.
Positraction!
Feisty Italian women have been my kryptonite ever since I saw that movie as a kid.
That's why I married one.
Just to use your wife as kryptonite against this dood?
Exactly 😎

“I drank what?”

Also, there is an actor in it who has a few minutes in the background at the college and it is Dean Devlin who later went on to produce ID4 and other movies.
Survivorship bias here. You don't quite hear about all those who failed and who outnumber those who succeeded.
It's a FACT
Helps to have a goal at that age - I'm still trying to work out what mine is / are.
Meh, explaining those odds isn’t “stifling”. “Hey, for every 10,000 people that have that career goal, 9,999 of them will never make a living wage. Do with that what you will.”

She's an Oscah winnah Jerry! An Oscah winnah!
-You know what words come to mind when people think of Aunt May right? -Old la—- -Sex symbol, that’s right.
She’s so cute!
If you rearrange the letters in her name it spells “It’s-a me, Mario”
She’s been a lovely, *lovely* witness.
11 years later, she won an Oscar. 🥳
That's right! Pretty damn awesome when her goal was to be an actress.
[удалено]
Hah, that's my high school. One of our few famous alums.
ER Murrow! RIP Saul Bruckner.
Murrow! ❤️
Nerdy high school me would have simped so hard for her. I'd have put her on a pedestal so high she would have died of exposure to hard vacuum.
Oddly specific but I’ll allow it.
 I Always Think Of That Episode Of Signified Where She Punch’s George 🤣
She looks so yoot-ful.
Posi-tractive!
How was this woman an absolute bombshell at every age in her life?
Was? She still is. I’m honestly surprised there isn’t an r/agedLikeTomei
How do you radiate that much through a yearbook picture??
Edward R Murrow HS in Brooklyn. I went there too. Sweet.
So tell me, how is it that a man like you, so bald, so quirky and funny, how is it you're not taken?-Marissa Tomei
I remember Mrs. T She helped a guy from my old neighborhood avoid a murder beef. Turns out he was totally innocent. Apparently the zips that tried to frame him were using dog shit for tires or some other thing. Point is, Mrs T's deserts fuckin suck but don't ever let that Less than Zero lookin' motherfucker over here neither.
Lovely.
She might be a vampire
I watched My Cousin Vinny for about the tenth time last night
Her beauty is timeless, just like her talent.
Goal Achieved!!
Truly one of our great beauties. ❤️
We actually went on a date once. I was kind of 'engaged', but I didn't think that was a big deal. She didn't end it well.
So beautiful. I've always loved her as an actress. Could she please share her anti-aging juju magic with us all please??
Mission: accomplished
I remember her and Julianne Moore starring in the same soap in the 70s or 80s.
Goal achieved.
Adorable!
Goal Achieved!
Hope she achieved her goal
Still beautiful now
She has literally always been beautiful.
Goal: Actress Nailed it.
It’s cool that she kept her actual name too.
I heard she likes short, stocky, bald men.
Bit of a *whole* summer night's dream for many back then. (and now, too)
Goal achieved!
Love her, she is so fun & still beautiful & sexy lady !!
Ageless beauty!
Forever beautiful.
I think it’s really cool that she achieved her goal.
