Re: I Just Watched...
My introduction to daytime soaps was the ABC soaps. The woman that my sister & I stayed with after school recorded all of the ABC soaps. The one my sister and I liked the best was ALL MY CHILDREN. We didn't really care for GENERAL HOSPITAL. Our aunt (my mother's sister) later introduced us to D...

Re: I Just Watched...
Yes, Alma is back as a Spanish name, pronounced "Ahlma." The name from the past was "you can call me Al-ma." What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one. Geraldine Page's character in SUMMER AND SMOKE was named Alma. There's even a line where Alma says that her n...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I did, Holden! Much racier of course. And I agree about Oliver. But there is nobody to equal Lotte Lenya as the predatory Countess/pimp. Man, that is a performance! I agree with you about Lotte Lenya in that role in THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE. In the version with Helen Mirren and Oliver Martine...

Re: I Just Watched...
Besides Roman also Bo or Hope Brady? I was done watching Days by the end of the '80s, I watched Days from the very beginning, also Another World Please, God tell me she’s not named “Calliope”… It wasn't Calliope. But my cousin was named after one of the Bradys. My cousin was born in 1988 by the way...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
To be honest, THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE is one of the most depressing movies you'll ever see, and Warren Beatty's attempt at an Italian accent is atrocious. (much worse than George Hamilton's from LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA). On the plus side, Vivien Leigh's chic Eternal City apartment is to die for....

Re: I Just Watched...
It's because there is a character named Brooklyn (actually Brook Lynn) on General Hospital. Soap operas have driven the popularity of many names. One of my cousins was named after a character from DAYS OF OUR LIVES OMG, PLEASE TELL ME YOUR COUSIN IS NAMED “STEFANO.” No, she's not named after a memb...

Howcum Brooklyn is a fairly popular name but Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island aren't? It's because there is a character named Brooklyn (actually Brook Lynn) on General Hospital. Soap operas have driven the popularity of many names. One of my cousins was named after a character from DAYS ...

Re: I Just Watched...
THANK you KINGRAT and CINEMAINTERNATIONAL for your 1978 RUNDOWNS . Really though, in the years 1927-1999 , I would say there are obviously some INCREDIBLE YEARS like 1939 AND 40 AND 1962, some amazingly innovative years like 1971 or 1968 and some years with no great but lots of good films (1995 or ...

Re: I Just Watched...
1.Alma is Spanish for “soul.” 2. I want for”Duane” to crack the MOST POPULAR BABY NAMES TOP TEN so bad. I'm also cheering for "Duane" or "Dwayne." As you know, in the South this can be pronounced "DEE-wayne," no matter how it's spelled. He probably has a brother Darius...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
I was pleasantly surprised the first version of Show Boat made it, it is so much better than the 1951 version. Agree strongly even though I liked seeing it in color. -------- Personally, I'd yank The Wizard of Oz (1939), Cabaret (1972), Mary Poppins (1964), and definitely Moulin Rouge (2001). I kno...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
Why are there no British musicals? Because I can think of several. LostHorizons explained the reason. RE: My comment that THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT should have been on the list. THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT should be on the list Afi stands for American film institute. Young Girls of Rochefort is...

Re: OBITUARIES
Dabney Coleman, such a good actor and funny guy. I've always enjoyed his performances so much. His bad guy performances are the ones I've enjoyed best. 9 to 5, Tootsie, tv show Buffalo Bill, etc. Great career. Thanks for all the many hours of great entertainment. RIP Dabney Coleman The sweetie and ...
