If you haven't seen Becket with Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole, yall are missing out. Absolutely fantastic movie.

Absolutely correct, an excellent movie. I saw Becket in high school in my British Lit class.

Instantly got FJ correct.

Instantly got FJ correct.

You should watch Peter O'Toole play an older Henry II in the Lion in Winter. Its an interesting follow-up plus has a young Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton.

We just watched it over this weekend. Didn't even recognize Hopkins all bearded up and so young! It was his film debut as Richard Lionheart.
The wife instagot him, "Look, it's that British guy who fed people their brains!" LOL

A very young-looking Tim Dalton played King Philip II of France, his wars with cousin Henry II and second cousins John, Geoffrey and Richard went on for decades, and the film seems to last almost as long, lol!

Kate Hepburn took the only Best Actress Oscar to ever be shared, for Eleanor of Aquitaine, tied with Barbara Streisand's Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. Best pic that year was Oliver! which was definitely more entertaining. Funny how watching these oldies makes me wonder, "Gosh, I remember we used to pay good money to go see these dreadful sleepers!" Snore... ROFL!

I know this is about a week late, but did anyone else find the Reservation category offensive?

How so? (Even more puzzling this would be asked as we only had one clue in the category revealed.)

*nod* What could possibly be offensive about asking what state a reservation is in?

[Bamaman]

They have clues related to Indian tribes all the time. This was nothing out of the ordinary. Granted, I'm not Mr. PC, but I did not see it as anything to be offended by.

Did you have reservations about it? (Sorry, someone had to say it).

[seaborgium]

I think it's in poor taste that four of the clues in that category are being forcibly relocated to another episode, if not eradicated altogether.

Me neither. "Reservation" is the usual, normal term and asking where they are is a pretty generic question. Someone somewhere might not like that there was a pun in the category title, but the writers do that all the time and I don't see why someone who knows the show would think of it as negative. Some of the biggest problems tribes face are the general public being oblivious to or ignorant of them, or harboring two-dimensional ideas about them, so a category like this might even be seen as a positive.
