Re: What Horror and Sc-Fi films have you seen lately?
The 1959 JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH brought back conflicted memories since still to this day I am traumatized by what happens to Gertrude the Duck. James Mason's Scottish accent comes and goes. Mainly goes, but who cares. He's the perfect tweedy, fussy, obsessive Victorian scientist/explorer...

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???
Just saw a new promo for Noir Alley (as if they didn't have enough of them) -- with Eddie Muller wearing some kind of 1940's camel hair coat, walking the streets of Frisco looking "tough". So silly and frankly tiresome already imo. Forgive my ignorance on these matters, but don't all these...

Re: I Just Watched...
Highlights of the 70s list. Pared down a bit from the other thread's lists that I make to include only the ultimate highlights. And yes, I know my taste can be strange..... 1970 Airport Catch-22 Darling Lili Donkey Skin I Never Sang for My Father Little Big Man Lovers and Other Strangers Patton Puz...

What did he expect Joan Collins to do -- tell Jack Hawkins how to whistle?

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I still love the ending though. So deliciously ironic. William Faulkner worked on the script! Well it's certainly full of sound and fury... But I wouldn't say signifying nothing. (Yes, I know that part is from Shakespeare not Faulkner.) The sweetie and I watched it on Watch TCM with an introduction...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Looking forward to Robert Taylor in QUO VADIS. I like him (and his Nebraska accent) in these kinds of roles, lol. They should have had SAMSON AND DELILAH on this Mediterrean ticket. Hedy Lamarr's best (i.e. most animated) performance of her entire wooden career. Mature had a bigger bust than Hedy d...

Robert Stack is giving a wonderfully awful performance in HOUSE OF BAMBOO.

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
Guys, I know I'm going to incur wrath here but....can I just say that I have never cottoned to FUNNY FACE? In fact, it has taken me more than a few times to actually get through the whole movie. And I am someone who loves Astaire, Audrey, and Stanley Donen! I've been trying to analyze why I'm not a ...

Agree about KISS ME KATE.
