  1. This is SO good, I agree and love ur thoughts
    old school ftw! so much agree with the better debate questions/commentary points!

  2. ben, your eminence in the movie world is not in question. but SEVEN SAMURAI [1954] was not in fact the first movie that assembles a team to do a task. that distinction goes to THE WIZARD OF OZ [1939].

    1. I dunno… Dorothy just kind of happened upon others with the same destination, who also happened to share her love of awkwardly skipping. A team assembled, but that wasn’t goal. Dunno if that’s a significant enough distinction, but I think we’ve all learned something here.

  3. Seven Samurai is one of the top five (eh, might as well say top seven) movies ever. Just man up and watch it Cenk.

  4. Wow, Ben. Nothing ethnic, nothing even american… I’m from Australia and I know that chicken dance lol. Love you two together, your friendship beams out true and ya both just awesome contrasting points of view with everything. That’s what friends are for! I wanna try it ‘Armenian style’ lol (not referencing anyone here, just in general… uhn-tis). And that last Holland ref. would have worked in right considering the way the media sold the debates ‘like a UFC match’. Sounds a bit too fan-boy for my liking but I be honest, I could listen to you two banter all day even when it’s about shit outside of my world. Nothing but love! =D

  5. I wish Ben could take a break from killing it on TCM and do some interviews. His Tarantino interview was one of the reasons I became a member in the first place!

  6. Amateur move Ben … betting against the Toronto Blue Jays when they are playing at home, smh. To borrow a line a from Joe Biden, “We own the finish line!”.

    I agree no excuse in not using your best closer but I guess he thought he was outsmarting us all.

    Go Jays Go
