Would it have been cheating to make the loop teardrop-shaped like most coasters are nowadays? He'd spend more time running up or down and less upside-down. It would be more like Donald O'Connor in Make 'em Laugh. Or maybe that would be an even harder shape to run around. Not sure.

The director was Randal Kleiser. His brother, visual effects supervisor Jeff Kleiser, is one of the founding figures of the computer animation industry.

The performance should end when there are no bow strings left.

I say go the other way and annex all the contiguous states to California.

I like that knife with the plane of the tang perpendicular to that of the blade.

And their father is Darth Vader.

I've seen commercial shoots where a producer will go through it frame by frame and say, "What's that? There. That frame. Take that frame out. [Insert Supermodel Name Here] doesn't make that face." Well, apparently she does. :D

By odd coincidence I was just looking at the wikipedia page for jesters, trying to learn the history of that classic 3 sectioned drooping hat. No luck there, but I did learn about this California group called The Fools Guild that looked like fun. They have a party coming up soon. http://www.foolsguild.org/ Not quite the same thing as a circus clown, but reminded me.

Before Randall did this when we wanted to know the frequency we used to have to ask Kenneth.

In 1989 I was given a cassette tape containing the song 'Breakaway' by Big Pig, and was asked to design the main titles to that film, as were several other people working together with me at a Manhattan design firm. My concept consisted largely of a slow pan across an evolving historical tableaux depicting different times and places, but tied together by overlapping neon accents, and accompanied by the music. It was the 80s, and I was probably influenced by the Museum of Neon Art 'Mona Lisa' now that I think about it. I made the storyboards with heavy black card stock (which took colored pencil for the 'neon glows' nicely), as well as an airbrush and some photocopies of Art History imagery. This was pre-Photoshop. I was told my design was picked, but my recollection is it turned out pretty different when it was finally produced.

That's my Bill & Ted memory.

There were some lines like that with old cars full of graffiti, but the F train in '85 was pretty clean and had those orange molded plastic individual seats even back then, as I recall.

That is genius.

I had to delete my comment because it was too similar to a joke Miss Cellania made in the post itself.
