How Often Does Talia Shire Come Up in Conversation?

For me, quite often, and I can't tell how you how amusing I find it.  If you don't know who Talia Shire is, she was in two of the greatest movies ever made: Rocky (Adrian) and The Godfather (Connie).  I am not arguing that she is some kind of brilliant actress who deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award, but she is a solid actress who has been in two awesome movies, and I rarely hear her name mentioned in film conversations.

This first very short comic depicts a conversation that never actually took place at Jose Pistola's in Philly. It was only afterwards that I realized that Talia Shire was what connected the movie conversation we had, which centered on Rocky and The Godfather.

And it happened again.  This time, Talia's name was spoken aloud (at The Good Dog in Philly), and it felt good having her recognized for her place in cinematic history.

I think in some ways, Talia Shire is my litmus test for discussing movies.  If you can give Talia the props she deserves, you're okay with me.
