Hey, Youtube is finally able to show some of the WKRP episodes with the original music again! There were problems resulting in the fact that the classic rock tunes the imaginary radio station played were copyrighted. For awhile these were pulled and I don't think they are on the seasonal DVD sets. T...

I know I sound like a shrew but I think most of the stuff they play on TCM Underground fits into this category. Plan 9 and Pussycat and all that stuff is the worst. You know I think most horror is garbage and TCM seems to find the worst to televise. Anne What Horror have you seen? I can understand ...

My favorite quote from The Invisible Man is: "We'll start with a few murders..." Claude Raines does an incredible job in this. He only has his voice and body movement (and most of his moves had to be carefully plotted out by Whale). He can't use facial expressions at all so we are left ess...

I have to agree with Moira. I would be glued to my television every Saturday evening to hear Robert O and Marty Scorcese host The Essentials . Ditto on that. I rarely watch The Essentials because I usually have the films and most of the time the commentators tell me nothing new. There was a thread ...

The Big Shot (1942)

Comes on Wednesday. Billed as a poor man's High Sierra. I've wanted to see this one for awhile. Can anyone comment on the film?

That's a tough one. I love The Far Country for Walter Brennan's performance. His comments on coffee are timeless and I use one of them almost every morning. Winchester 73 clearly has one of the best casts and everyone plays their roles well, especially Shelley Winters. Incredible film. The Naked Spu...

Some Came Running (1958)

A great movie. Comes on this Tuesday. Sinatra and MacLaine give incredible performances here although I think everyone would agree Dean Martin steals this whole film. Goddard pays homage to Martin in his film "Contempt" (1963) when Michel Piccoli wears his hat in the bathtub. When BB asks ...

I hate all those news channels. Local channels are good for weather and that's about it. I take a couple of different papers.

Gloria stole my heart many years ago when I first saw her in a movie. And I've always loved her since. I know she made at least two westerns. One with Chuck Connors and the other one I can't remember now who co-starred with her. I've been trying to locate a copy of the other one ( ROUGHSHOD ) but h...

Hi Gagman66 glad you made it!

Moira, Gish did express reserve to Griffith about playing so young a character, but I forget the why's and wherefore's. Perhaps someone else knows?
