If I have it right, he would pay $30 a month for the gift cards. Invision Community is $99 a month. While accurate, it is still likely based off how easily he drops that money for the raffles that he likely has enough disposable income to set up an Invision board if he really wanted to. I'm sure th...

I've discovered some of your great posts here from years ago!

I'm glad you're back.

I believe both of them are here as well, but hopefully will leave the politics on the other board. No "hopefully" about it, as far as I'm concerned. I intend to report off-topic political posts to SSO administrators and will be all over mischief-making provocateurs and gadflies like white...

Buddy the Gee-Man (1935) Looney Tunes cartoon from before the characters we all remember. This one has Buddy, a character who apparently appeared in two dozen one-reelers, with this being the final one. It's a fairly poor effort with Buddy being asked to investigate the conditions at Sing Song pris...

To be honest here, I always felt kind'a sorry for the guy. Bright, but who has questionable, at best, people skills. (...you know, kind'a like say "A Low-Rent Sheldon Cooper") Awww, Dargo! Don't compare the beloved Sheldon to Mr. Lung Disease. I doubt he could work those T-shirts the way ...

What about the Director's Poll? Directors' Greatest Films of All Time (Top 20) 1. "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Stanley Kubrick 1968) 2. "Citizen Kane" (Orson Welles, 1941) 3. "The Godfather" (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) 4 . "Tokyo Story" (Yasujiro Ozu, 1953) 4 (t...

Ivy (1947) Joan Fontaine plays the titular character, Ivy Lexton, who aspires to have the finest things in life. At the beginning of the film, she sees a fortune teller (played by Una O'Connor) who predicts that Ivy will come into a fortune and also have a new man in her life. Then the fortune tell...

The deleted scenes from THE WAY WE WERE that provide a more plausible reason for Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand's characters (Hubbell and Katie) are included video below, beginning at the 4:48 point. One of these is a scene where Katie is driving through the UCLA campus and sees a female studen...

I was told that guy is a major suck up to either one or all of the mods and they basically act like his censors, deleting anything critical of him. I was told they have been deleting posts for him for years if not even more than a decade at this point. I was told all this by Lawrence a long time ag...

Won't try to type the title of this 1965 RUSS MEYER Messterpiece (it's always blocked). It's the Queen of BAD MOVIES !!! :D THe TV series RIVERDALE regularly makes references to classic cinema, both within in the episodes and in episode titles. THe title of sixth episode of Season 1 was "Faste...

My favorite Joan Bennett movie is THE RECKLESS MOMENT. I first saw it on TCM. I don't think TCM airs it very frequently now. Joan Bennett plays a mother being blackmailed over letters her daughter had written to her (the daughter's) dead lover. Joan Bennett's character mistakenly believes that her ...

Hopefully, RMeingast from the TCM message boards knows this movie is airing.

He mentioned that he shows up at the SSO from time to time.

Perhaps one of you Nicholas Ray mavens knows: did Philip Yordan actually write the screenplay for JOHNNY GUITAR? In his autobiography Edward Dmytryk noted that Yordan was sometimes a conduit for work from blacklisted writers. Was that true for this film? Supposedly most of the screenplay for JOHNNY...

I view this film as more of a rom-com set in the west, than a "true" western. Pre-WWII Jimmy Stewart was a good fit for this role, but I still favor his more gritty screen persona after he returned from WWII. I agree, james. Calling DESTRY RIDES AGAIN a Western is similar to calling DIE H...
