Gene Hackman is great in everything!

A lot of good little noirs that will never see the light of day at TCM can be found on YouTube.

Oh, I read The Expendable Man and Eddie is right -- it would indeed be impossible to film.

THE PRIZE (1963) Tongue-in-cheek, glossy, schlocky combo of NORTH BY NORTHWEST and GRAND HOTEL (listen to Leo G. Carroll's closing line). Can someone please explain Elke Sommer to me? Has she ever been good in anything? And is this or TORN CURTAIN Paul Newman's worst performance? Newman's about as b...

I couldn't believe it -- my CALL ME BWANA desire was fulfilled yesterday by a random ScreenPix drive-by. I of course was whooping and hollering for joy, that is until the movie got under way, lol. Now I suppose you could describe CALL ME BWANA (1963), more than any other "mature" Hope vehi...

Intro to OLIVER! -- Bill Sikes is described as "cantankerous" Oh how amusingly "hip" and "clever"! But I am calm, I am cool, I am breathing slowly in and out, lol. https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.Lo5Ywiliy03WWYX9N9sJTQAAAA?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain If you don't mind having...

I can't either, Holden, lol

I'll take your word for it that Eddie writes his own Noir Alley stuff but frankly I don't take him as seriously as I used to.

Oh how amusingly "hip" and "clever"!

But I am calm, I am cool, I am breathing slowly in and out, lol.

I heard Eddie say in the intro to DARK PASSAGE that Bogart and Bacall were married in 1947 when the year was actually 1945. I hope this does not sound like nitpicking. It really annoys me that many of these hosts naively rely on the TCM research department to get their facts correct. It's just slopp...

Wonderful to hear, Holden, thank you.

Congrats in advance for your tenth anniversary. NYC is especially beautiful in October. I know you'll have another lovely experience.

I kind of like the puppets in LILI but have never truly understood Leslie Caron's appeal (along of course with Mel).

A Music Box Godzilla marathon? I'd fly into The Windy City just for that!

Of course, MOMMIE DEAREST ("Don't f*ck with me, fellas! This isn't my first rodeo!") and THE BIRDCAGE ("Fosse! Fosse! Fosse!") aren't exactly chopped liver...

House Hunters and House Hunters International marathon.

Every episode: "I can picture us having coffee on the patio"

Even if they don't have one.

And I'm not even any sort of rock-ribbed pull-yourselves-up-from-the-bootstraps type of person but that screenplay really pissed me off!

Edward G. Robinson is wonderful in everything, even a Norwegian farmer in OUR VINES HAVE TENDER GRAPES. Apologies to Margaret O'Brien fans but I only tolerate her in every movie she's ever been in just to enjoy the other actors I do like. I always felt "Tootie" needed psychiatric help. (th...
