  -Best marionette joke in the history of cinema. 

  -Oops…fell in love with Liv Tyler throwing darts. 

  -Holy shit, is this scene going from a group of women folk singers to the Oneders evocative of Dylan going electric at Newport??

  -Halloween costume idea: unhinged talent show announcer from That Thing You Do. 

  -The titular…
