I always love TCM's "promos" and I always have to stop what I'm doing to watch this current (retro) holiday one airing. It's so cool to see "baby" Billy Barty and I LOVE the song too. (I keep hoping I'll find it on one of my Christmas compilation CDs with "re-mixes" of ...

Season's Greetings, Everyone!! I've missed you all. Thanks for the "MIA" query, Sandy. :D My "little shop of horrors" was sold-cutting off my "high speed digital" internet connection. I remained at the shop with the new owner to help her get established. She turned out ...

Thanks, Nando! "Freaks" is one of my faves too.
Johnny Eck was also a very handsome man and interesting "celebrity."
He climbed to the top of the Washington Monument on his hands...among other things.

"CROOKJACK" sounds like fun, klondike. My brother and sister-in-law and neice and nephew (both in college now) do not "celebrate" traditional holidays. They invent their own! I remember calling them last year on the day after Christmas. I asked my brother about their Christmas. H...

Mike, that reminds me of an episode of "King Of The Hill" with Sally Field voicing an anti-Halloween character "persuading the youth" of (fictional) Arlen, TX to spend Halloween in her "Judgement-type House" . ("Hilloween" 1997.) Dale Gribble had a great line ...

Well, I guess I won't be posting that "snuff movie" I had lined up...
How 'bout "The Cobweb Hotel" instead?

I love "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?" I've always admired Mike Nichols for tackling "provocative" books/plays that seem difficult to adapt for the screen. He rarely disappoints and "...Virginia Woolf?" was his directorial debut and his best. Edward Albee is another f...

A TERRIFIC Jacques Tourneur line-up on TCM tonight! "Curse Of The Demon" http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa232/dirtboy_bucket/cat-people-c.jpg http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa232/dirtboy_bucket/9f913e5d.jpg And "The Leopard Man" TCM may have many "repeats," but,...

MissG, I totally agree with you about Huston's "beatific lack of judgement toward any of the characters." That was a trait he exhibited in all his movies. One of the reasons why he's one of my favorite directors. I'm a big Tennesse Williams fan-especially his "crazy and pervy" ch...

A big AMEN to that, Jon!

When Halloween Is Keane...Margaret, that is... http://www.keane-eyes.com/ I don't know why I have this recent obsession with "eyes?" Maybe it's because "they are the windows to the soul." :twisted: I watched "White Zombie" last night. Lots of great close ups and extrem...

That's funny that you mention Mia looking like Sinatra, Judith. She's somewhat of a "chameleon." She looked like Woody Allen when they were together...and Ryan O'Neal during "Peyton Place." Freaky! As for this (Vidal Sassoon) "haircut-"Did it come before or after receiv...
