A light bulb just now went on: this scene was clearly based -- or perhaps outright stolen -- from the baptism scene in The Godfather.

I also didn't know until a year or so ago that The Who's "Magic Bus" is about a drug dealer.

I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

While watching the Phantom Menace, I compared the Attack on Naboo to the Burning of the Reichstag (ie staging an incident to start a power grab). My wife replied with "what are you talking about?"
