Of Capricorn mothers and kingrat's "THE CONVERSATION" eavesdrop, Bronxgirl48... I recently read an analysis of Jane Fonda's character in 'klute' which referenced Linda Goodman's SUN SIGNS . Instead of assigning Scorpio to the Bree Daniels character as we once agreed, Bronxgirl48, Fonda's b...

Speaking of the 1970s: consider the difference between Blow-Up (1966) and The Conversation (1974), which borrows liberally from the plot of Blow-Up , only with sound instead of photography. When Antonioni seems like the fun guy in the room, you know something is seriously out of whack. Swinging Lon...

Yes, this is a pet peeve of mine, but TCM ignores the Vietnam war on Memorial Day (3-4 days) and other relevant holidays. Never understood why as there are well over 100 movies about the war in Vietnam. Platoon is on Friday, May 24, but that is the only Vietnam War movie on as far as I can tell. Ac...

The Rialto is now an Urban Outfitters, but the building is still there. The theater itself wasn't that large compared to other L.A. downtown theaters, but it was said to have the longest marquee on Broadway. I thought about wording it differently as, yes, Hibi, the building itself is still there.

Krakatoa is actually WEST of Java, but that's Hollywood! So then, what you're tellin' me here Hibi is that BESIDES that old axiom that says "Never get your History from Hollywood movies", we should ALSO add the subject of Geography to that here TOO then, huh?! (...thanks, I'll keep this i...

Ken Burns' BASEBALL tapped a rockumentary for its soundtrack:

Anyone here ever catch this movie's sequel..."Krakatoa: And It Hurts Like Hell" ? It's the story of Murray Schwartz M.D., Beverly Hills' Podiatrist to the Stars. (...didn't think so...it was a box office bomb, ya know) I missed that one, Dargo, but it reminded me of the one about a gun-to...

Yes, Hibi, the proverbial Hollywood license knows no bounds...

Another example that comes to mind for me: blond and tall John Schneider cast as shorter and darker Michael Landon in MICHAEL LANDON The Father I Knew!?

The late eruption of KRAKATOA EAST OF JAVA in the United States is said to have occurred at the C I N E R A M A dome 55 years ago on this day... Quentin Tarantino later recreated the theater's facade for his ONCE UPON A TIME IN... HOLLYWOOD : https://thenewbev.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Krakatoa...

Though IMDb offers May 19, 1924, as the New York City premiere of "BROADWAY AFTER DARK" , I'm confident that the movie was already playing at GRAUMAN'S RIALTO theater, which was located on S. Broadway in Los Angeles, one-hundred years ago: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZjRiOTVjZW...
