If you died for your country, I don't think you'll care how you're treated after that.

I'm curious what the original experiment was and whether or not it was cooler than what you actually got.

Reply to comment by Solidsnakeerection in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
Tim Burton's Batman was still a huge movie on people's mind. The directors wanted a dark-and-gritty Mario movie while the studio wanted a family-friendly movie.

Reply to comment by V6Ga in TIL the first media report about the shift from lighters to the cellphone was a U2 concert in Chicago in 2005. by PlasterBaby
Well young'un back in my day when we went to concerts and we're connecting with some deep shit in a ballad tune, we'd all hold up our cigarette lighters in unison. We all had cigarette lighters on us because we also were all smoking cigarettes back then, and we liked it!
Nowadays you young'uns are too soft to smoke a pack a day, so you never carry lighters with you. Instead you hold up your phone screen and to get a similar albeit lamer effect.
