"Long mired in film"

Lemmy in for #965.

In Shirley Clarke’s documentary Portrait of Jason, the troubled Jason Holliday’s real name turns out to be Aaron Payne.

The Dark Backward stars Judd Nelson as a very bad stand-up comic who grows a third arm!

If you want info about Sharknado see MguyX’s masterful review in another thread in this Fourum.

"Four ever European"

In Ayer no termina nunca (Yesterday Never Ends), a man (J in the credits, played by Javier Cámara -- who took a photo of me at the San Sebastián Film Festival recently!) comes back to Spain and reunites with his ex-wife (listed as C).

Quai D'Orsay is very like a French The Thick of It/In the Loop. There is a lot of hot air, and a running joke is the minister stomping around and slamming doors.

James Hunt and Niki Lauda were both quite obnoxious in their own ways.

True (and tru-ish) tales

N.B.
The unlikely carer in "Untouchable" is called Sy.
Captain Rich Phillips was kidnapped by Somali pirates.
Brad Pitt stars in the baseball movie "Moneyball".
"Hollywoodland" is the story of the first screen Superman George Reeves. Diane Lane co-stars as Toni Mannix.
Charles Durning plays the captain of the ill fated zeppelin in "The Hindenburg".

Good spot but Dante already has a pretty nice version of that idea.

Yes, sort of, but the concept is muddied by his title referencing another film. My way, if I may say so, is a more elegant double reading.

What film? Is there one called Changing Lanes? I've never heard of it, but the phrase itself is extremely common, certainly one of the main collocations of lane, so I think it's a perfect piece of wordplay. Anyway, if you're happy with yours, fair enough. This site has long gone far beyond using an idea only once.
