Yeh, she was outstanding. That ‘poor little deer’ scene in that Brooklyn accent alone.
Yep, it’s really a lot of fun. A little hard on some parts of both southern culture and NY culture, but just enough to make it even funnier. Not just Pesci as a lawyer and all the lawyer jokes; making a judge out of Fred Gwynne so he could make all those facial expressions he’d perfected was a casting winner. So was Marisa Tomei. And the characters that played witnesses … to this day when I’m saying ‘I guess’ it always comes out with that drawl. Every scene in the film was comical first, and never let up. Masterpiece.
Other’n a couple others named? My Cousin Vinny.

Margaret Hamilton (witch) in a sci-fi Wizard of Oz remake. Oh hell, let’s throw Burt Lahr (lion) in there too.
Haven’t heard about the NASA design yet, but JAXA’s 2010 IKAROS used "Eighty blocks of LCD panels are embedded in the sail, whose reflectance can be adjusted for attitude contro ".
by signing your name to it, you’re swearing that it’s all true.
Lawyers too use qualifiers like ‘To the best of our knowledge’ and ‘in our studied opinion’ to indicate that opinions may differ. That’s why judges exist, and some of them are -so reasonable- that they will accept that people cannot be expected to decide whether a hospital’s decision to operate -immediately- is not good enough.
These US ‘insurance’ companies are in the business of making money from people’s health problems. In MOST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD that’s not how health-care works. We, the people of the US, let the system get rigged this way … we have to fix that. Permanently.
If you don’t know what you most enjoy after H.S., finding your motivation is a really great idea for many kids. if you give it a quarter and still aren’t inspired, outside work could help with that. College is expensive; but it’s worth it and -much- easier once you know why you’re there! You’re story is a perfect example, thanks for sharing.
I’d add this (from my experience): if you start out doing well, but your grades start slipping in the second year? Take a quarter (or a year) off to figure out why that’s happening. Maybe that major isn’t for you after all. Maybe things in your personal life need getting past so that you can can get your focus back. The college will still be there when you’re ready … unless what you need is … another college !!
Take the thorn out of the lion’s paw, and don’t charge him $10,000.
I was in the tunnel, not the steam pipes running through the tunnel.
The steam tunnel system under that big midwestern university. Once in, it led underneath most every building on the campus. There are many other mysteries hidden in the underground -everywhere-.
