  • Silver appears on-screen at the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit as Raoul J. Raoul, the director of the animated short Something’s Cookin. Raoul loses his temper at toon Roger Rabbit for seeing tweety birds when a refrigerator crashes on his head, and not stars as the script specified. This was a prank Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis pulled on then-Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, as Eisner and Silver had despised each other since their days at Paramount Pictures in the early 1980s, especially with the issues they faced making 48 Hrs. Silver trimmed his beard off, paid his expenses, and asked to not have his name in initial cast lists. Reportedly, when production wrapped, because Silver was unrecognizable, Eisner questioned who played Raoul and was told it was Silver, at which point, Eisner shrugged and praised his performance.

    Honestly sounds like he was a pretty good sport about having that reputation.






  • Candace Owens isn’t a politician. She’s a useful idiot that says controversial stuff and makes conservatives feel good about themselves because surely if a black lady says stuff they agree with, then that’s almost the same as having black friends and therefore they can’t be racist.

    These sort of people crack me up, because every one of them hates e-bikes because they’re ”cheating". Like, dudes, we’re not racing. There are a lot of hills by my house and I would literally never ride a bike if I didn’t have some help going up them.

    I don’t see how having a motor to help you out and spending a few grand on a carbon fiber frame are much different. It’s all just making it easier for you.
