OOh I like the Sam Cooke video there. I just added that to my favourites

regarding movie going experience: I generally go to 3-5 movies a year (sometimes more sometimes less) I've only had one really bad experience and it wasn't all through the movie. I went to Spider-Man 3 and for the first third of the movie a baby was crying. I don't know why a family would bring a li...

Hmmm Well I think Reeves can pull it off but it'll probably be a SFX laden film with Klaatu "demonstrating" his power.

Oh well we'll see how the movie turns out when it comes out.

I like listening to soul music from the '60s and '70s. In fact I scour youtube for vids to keep for my personal viewing and listening pleasure. /quote] Have you checked "Dewey's Record Party"? He, and others, will have done a lot of work for you. Nope, I'm very particular about my choice of music a...

I finally saw the movie myself as well. I'm a big fan of the Simpsons and the style of humor on that show.

Heya cinemalover!

Great to see you here and a lot easier on the eyes for me. I'll be reading your movie escapades with a lot more relish over here.

Let's see, I'm a pretty simple guy. I collect comic books. In fact I have about 5 titles on my pull list and while it can sometimes be an expensive hobby I enjoy reading the comics and keeping them in my comics bin. I am into history, especially the Third Reich and World War II area. In fact one yea...

Btw, a special "welcome & hiya!" to SPTO , who's recently joined us. I knew we'd get a bit more life on our little site when the Fall rolled around! Thanks! It's good to browse and dabble in discussion with people who will talk about the movies rather then the scandalous. (tho I admit one of my las...

testing....

Ah well I love the original version of Goodbye Mr. Chips. The musical just doesn't have the emotional punch of the original. I find myself getting tearing eyed at the end of the original film. After one viewing of the original it instantly became one of my favourite films of all time.
