okay, Arkadin, I did kind of like this very unusual film. Gave me alot to think about, but have to ask your opinion on the ending. Read many theories over at imdb, including the one on censorship, but it still seemed a cop-out, or some kind of artistic affectation.
Anyone else who saw it?

I noticed they don't have the staffers comments for Jan. Do you know if this has been discontinued, or just on hiatus?

Thanks for mentioning these podcasts, moira. I only noticed the monthly one the past 2 months, and found it very entertaining & informative. You get to meet some of the staffers and learn a little about them and their scheduling hi-lights. It's kind of like 'Bob's Picks', just from the employees...

"Great O'Malley" was pretty good. Bogart seemed uncomfortable in the sympathatic father role and liked seeing O'Brian ruthless (at least in the beginning) for a change. Sybil Jason was a pretty talented child star, but like with Temple, a little of her can go a long way. Thanks for mention...

Wow! Had a heckuva time trying to login in for some reason. Finally had to get a magic new PW via e-mail. ANYWAY, just wanted to thank Mike & moira for mentiong "Viy" and supplying that link. Pretty cool flick. Would have been great for Halloween. This is just the type of info I love g...

thanks for the heads-up, will set recorder

Well, it IS easier to post pix there. I put one in my profile, one movie poster, a Warren William & a David Carradine. Okay...so now what? Although according to a certain poster there, I guess some of us senile old geezers should feel honored that the twitter-kids over there are deigning to drag...

Hey! Welcome back SSO. Missed you guys.

Directors theme okay, but why eliminate Underground, Silents and Imports for a whole month?
Bummer!

Always one of my favorite character actors in his own right. Loved his portrayal in "Bound for Glory". So sorry to think that he felt such an ending was his only option. So sad. RIP, Mr. Carradine and condolences to his family.

All I know is that ever sine their CFU has opened, I haven't been able to post successfully more than once in a weeks time. I've complained a number of times thru e-mails and phone messages (can't PM Web/ad since my 'loggin' won't work) but haven't gotten any response. Do any of you folks know what'...

Just to mention a TY for mentioning this film. I finally got a chance to view my recording, and enjoyed it very much. A far more interesting story than "Grand Hotel", though less known but with a far more dramatic and relavant script. Hope they'll air it more often so more people can appre...

Okay smarties, here's one for you. I found a referance to a "controversial" silent film by D.W.Griffith (pre "Birth of a Nation") called THE ESCAPE from 1914, supposedly concerning eugenics, which sounded intriguing, but was considered 'lost'. What I found here doesn't say much: ...

Caught this by chance, missing the beginning, and was really surprised how much I liked it. Reminded me of much of the Godfather saga, but with more humor. Does anyone know if Coppola might have used any of this for inspiration?

This is my 1st post. Been kind of intimidated by all the knowlegeable posters, but what the heck! Anyone catch Gilbert & Sullivans' THE MIKADO last nite? Always been a fan of theirs, but didn't know any of their plays had been filmed (except maybe PIRATES...). Was sorry to hear the filming of ot...
