OH yeah there are and always have been. Now, MY personal little "favorites" of these kind'a folks have always been those who after some natural catastrophe has befallen the state of California, they'll opine the idea that that's the result of "God's retribution upon those godless peo...

Yeah, I like that show. I looked it up today and Paula has been on 27 seasons. Time to go!

Wow. I knew she had been on a long time but I never thought it was that long.
Yeah it might be time to bow out gracefully and give someone else a chance.

I don't know if they are great, but "Gomer" Pyle blowing himself away in Full Metal Jacket was fairly gruesome. Fortunately he had the where- withal to kill that loud mouth scumbag drill instructor first. Leo. G. Carroll slowly pointing the gun on himself and pulling the trigger in Spellbo...

LOL. Especially in the bay area. I don't remember if Aggie even admitted to killing the guy. She just kept yelling you have no proof etc. That had to be a huge window wide open for her to tumble out of too! PAULA NEWS! Her show wasn't on last night! They are running In Pursuit again. Might be the b...

I've never seen THE STRANGERS IN 7A. Trying to wrap my head around Andy Griffith and Ida Lupino as a couple. Thanks guys for all your ONE IS A LONELY NUMBER input. It did look like a tv movie of the era -- I forgot to state that. As for Spike Lee during the FACE IN A CROWD intro, he oddly repeated ...

Yeah, a plastic surgery bargain. Even factoring in inflation! Aggie probably waited till he turned around and bopped him on the head with his trumpet (or whatever it was) to stun him then shot him when he was down. Sounds like her style. No, no explanation was given how Agnes accomplished that. Esp...

Well Andy got out of trouble in Strangers 7A. The bank robbers who took over an apartment in his building were killed or captured. It seems Ida forgave Andy for picking up the young lady. It didn't mean that much as Andy never got past first base. All's well that ends well. There was one funny scene...

Yea, the supporting actors make the film. Note this was the best role for Clifton Young as the blackmailer. Warner signed him but he didn't get much work (he does have an uncredited role as a bum at the start of Treasures of the Sierra Madre). What a smarmy character! Also note worried actor is the...

Next: A murderer who gets away with it.

Too hard to spell. Should've stuck with Smith. Yeah, Agnes didn't exactly sound desperate.

Smith isn't bad unless some wise guy cop grows suspicious. Lee is nice and simple.

Yeah, she sounded the way she sounded throughout the movie--snippy and sarcastic.

I saw OIALN when it was on TCM a year or so ago. It had a bit of a look of a TV movie, not that that's a major problem. Very emblematic of the early 1970s. Didn't white knight Markham turn out to be married? So maybe Janet Leigh had a point, at least to some degree. I'm watching The Strangers in 7A ...

I, too, think it was an accident. She still had options left.

She was just too full of herself to commit suicide in my opinion.

The only problem with the name Linnell is you've got to figure out
how many n's and l's are going to be in it and stick to that number.

I like Dark Passage even though there are some implausibilities in the movie. Nicely done with a good cast of supporting actors--the cabby who doesn't know where to go for a good time but does know where to go for quickie plastic surgery, the rundown doctor who apparently knows his business. I would...

Yes, a less articulate Lonesome Rhodes with the physical presence of Jabba The Hut.

I wouldn't trust either one of them, but a fictional character is harmless.
