Re: PBS
Will Thomas's tenuously emerging "humanness" extend to keeping him from blowing the whistle on Bates? I only wonder because Anna was so nice to him in that one scene.

Re: Me-TV
I didn't think Me-TV ever broadcast in HD since virtually none of their source material would stand up to it. In fact, the newer my TV the worse the shows look, lol.

Re: John Payne Alert
Ha! Few people can take a punch as good as Payne. His fight scenes are different from most, more realistic or just plain painful somehow.
Love his films like The Crooked Way. He's like Dick Powell, transitioned smoothly from musical comedies to tough guy films noir.

Re: John Ford
Jackie I hope you'll join the conversation if you're up for it. I have a running list of constant comparisons in my head. I don't know how relevant they are but it makes for a fun brain tease.

Re: John Ford
Thank you for this, T. I'm just trying to reel in my jaw that's dragging on the floor. That is so beautifully laid out...a perfect "menu" if you will to prompt what I hope will be some interesting discussion. And I'd like to brazenly ask the author's permission to post this either on my si...

Re: John Ford
i definitely believe directors---the real creators, not just the jobbers---put themselves in their films. I believe everything you want to know about Ford the man is in his films. People have been very quick to make the connections between Hitch and his films or even Howard Hawks, but it's rather a...

Re: John Ford
If he had ever bothered to explain why Tom Doniphon kept going for thirty years when his life was destroyed around, we may have understood (A little) why Ford did. oh my goodness...that just sends me to yet ANOTHER level for The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, a movie we never seem to hit bottom on a...

Re: John Ford
ah, tinker, you should write a book. that's precisely how i feel when watching his movies. i'm part of the journey the characters are on, i can feel, taste, smell and really fully immerse myself in the emotions they feel as they react to life. this isn't the result of "realism" (as underst...

Re: Musings on The Misfits
