Dressed Dogs and Internet Precursors
FREDDY:
Dudes, there's a dog with sunglasses, a hat and a pipe. People must have gone hysterical back then, there was no internet to show you these things! This made me wonder how many dressed dogs there have been in the history of cinema.

The Best Romantic Scene
FREDDY:
Down here goes a picture of the best romantic scene I've ever seen on film. That violin cracked me up. Steve Martin was great in the 70's. I love his stand up, he was completely mad on stage. (watch clip down there).

Opti-Grab and Absurdity
FREDDY:
This has to be my favorite moment in the film: "If I had yelled cut on time, those actors would be alive today.". The whole absurdity taking place here is just BRILLIANT.
