I felt a bit sorry for Tommy also. You'd be surly too if you had to live in the same house as his mother. He was under a lot of pressure with Mama Bitchnmoan plus a new baby. So I cut him a bit of a break. Karen Steele. Va va voom. She was quite a looker. I've seen her in other roles. Very attractiv...

Hell no, we won't show. Hey Hey TCM how many Vietnam films did you show in May? I've always thought they were trying to present an All-American, Yankee Doodle Dandy type of programming. The Vietnam War doesn't really fit into that vibe. I like to watch TBYOOL to see Dana making that ham & cheese...

I always felt sorry for Marty. Every time he wanted to talk to Tommy about
buying the butcher shop someone or something interrupted their conversation.

"Aw, the Giants are gonna be in the cellar! In the cellar!" "Hey Lou, turn on the Dodger game" And this was just two years before both the Giants and the Dodgers left for California. Yeah. I guess they'll just have to wait seven years for the Mets. The Yankees may have taken two...

Marty, that girl she Italian? She don't look Italian.

Look these two squirrels are nurses. Money in the bank man.

Hey Ritchie, the Yankees took two today.

The Filth and the Fury

Next: A fascist regime

I remember Groucho's joke about S & D saying that he didn't like pictures
where the man's t**s are bigger than the woman's. I mostly stay away from
Biblical/sword and sandal flicks, even as camp.

Happens all the time. The bad guys are sadists or have a bizarre sense of
humor and come up with some elaborate way to kill people instead of just
shooting them in the head. Simplify, simplify.

TAATPV, pretty entertaining and a cool title too. I also became confused about the plot details, though the overall idea was not too hard to follow. The guy out for revenge against the people who killed someone he was associated with, even though it was just other criminals. He was likely more in it...

Perhaps this would be the appropriate thread: viewforum.php?f=18
It discusses Noir and Crime.

I will take it under advisement.

Heller gives me somewhat of a pain, I don’t know why. Thought Catch 22 was brilliant, but turned off by Something Happened, and I just don’t like the looks of the guy. Doesn’t mean anything of course. There was a girl yesterday, I was walking to the liquor store, and she came up behind me and start...

It's because there is a character named Brooklyn (actually Brook Lynn) on General Hospital. Soap operas have driven the popularity of many names.

Maybe they have, but I don't know if that's the reason Brooklyn is
a relatively popular name.

I always thought Eddie wrote his own intros/outros. His are longer than the other hosts' and provide more info on the source of the film and on the screenplay. I watch noirs on YT, some good, some average. I just watched Try and Get Me! starring Frank Lovejoy and Lloyd Bridges. Lloyd plays one of th...
