It's noirish! We don't do it all the time. Just when some news hits.

I won't be watching! :D I'm not sure when it starts, I didn't catch that part. Probably next month. I doubt I will be either. The original series was okay, but a little of Kenda goes a long way. I guess he figures he might as well make hay while the sun shines. I watched a few of his shows, but his...

also, I hate to speculate, but FANTASTIC AS SHE IS, I get the sense the role came very naturally to LANSBURY and she had A BLAST doing it- the 1970s were kind of the beginning of the whole "you need to suffer and be miserable and lose or gain 60 pounds in order to get a nomination" trend ...

Yes, I had a great-aunt named Gertrude, an aunt named Ethel. My parents were introduced by a woman named Edna. When I was looking up Max Showalter, his parents were Ira and Elma Showalter. We have to remember that Gertrude and Ethel were the Taylor and Madison of their day. Or that Taylor and Madis...

"What if twenty or thirty million women started rationing lipstick?" "But I can't return my 127 tubes of rouge! The Health Department won't let me!" "But do we want to keep hoarding?" "Let's pool our resources -- that's democracy!" Uh-oh, lol. I remember Ging...

Edna is another name that should stay in the past. (And I had an aunt named that as well!) As should Eunice and Bertha and Ethel and Alma and Velma (although we once had a neighbor, now passed on, named Velma and she was a wonderful neighbor) AGREED!! Alma and Velma aren't quite as bad as the other...

there's a fun one

Marlene makes it worth watching, but Mel Ferrer is the film's weak link.

Even if you had remembered you would not have been able to see it. There was a glitch in the video on TCM that evening so it was replaced with another showing of Carnival Story . TCM has put Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid on WatchTCM as a make-good, but as I recall you do not have the service. :( HAHA! ...

SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!!!!!! JOE KENDA IS BACK!!!!!!! MYMYMYMYMY! I saw a commercial for it the other day. Hasn't he run out of cases by now???. I guess there's hope for Paula yet! :( (Unsure if he's rehashing old cases or its like his last one, commenting on others). I'M BACK!!! And they say smoking c...

Rosalie is remembered on QVC as the infamous foul-mouthed caller who could be heard over the phone yelling "Get the f*ck away, I'm talking to Leah Williams!!" Unflappable host Leah just laughed and told us "Some people are so passionate about what we're selling" LMREO!!!!!!!!!

I looked up Rosalie and it seems to have had a resurgence lately due to a character in the Twilight series (and no, I'm not making this up!) So, that's nice. There was a Cole Porter 20s musical with that title that was later made into a film with Eleanor Powell in the 30s. Wow I had not known this (...

What I think of as "old lady names"--names that no woman under 60 had when I was growing up--are back in fashion. Hannah, Emma, Sophie, Eliza, Amelia--a friend has high school students with these names. I know people who have named their little girls Mabel and Millie. Rosalie is much wort...

it should be though! it's a lovely name.

Yes, I like it too. A fancier version of Rose or Rosy.
