I'd love to hear more of that story. Jack Lemmon is one of my favorites.

I haven't. I met Yvonne Craig once, and I saw the skeleton of the original King Kong model. That's about it for me.

But I love hearing the stories tossed around here and there in various threads, and thought maybe it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to such encounters.

I only knew him as Sheriff Roscoe, but I loved him on the Dukes show. RIP.

Somehow I missed this the first time around. Very entertaining story of your trip. You have a way with storytelling to keep it fun.

The other night I watched The April Fools, with Jack Lemmon and Catherine Deneuve. It has a fantastic short appearance by Myrna Loy and Charles Boyer in some very late career work. They were by far the best part of this chauvinistic, immoral-as-only-the-70s-can-be comedy. In fact, I would even say t...

I hate when reviewers know nothing about the subject matter they're reviewing. It's clear from reading that while he may have had some valid points, he was not familiar with Disney's version of Cinderella. The mice were not "a nod to the corporate mascot", much less "no doubt" on...

Probably not too much though, since he was having an affair with MM at the time.

It boggled my mind when I learned Timothy Dalton was as old as he is. He was considered for the Bond replacement that Roger Moore ended up getting, besides eventually landing the role in the 80s. I never dreamed he could have been old enough for that. He was also in Mae West's last film.

I always thought Hepburn should have done an Earhart biopic. She was spot on, in looks.

I've been on a Doris Day kick the last couple of days and watched Move Over Darling and then It Happened to Jane on successive nights. I always love those things. I often wonder what Move Over Darling would have been like if Marilyn had lived to finish it as Something's Got to Give. I know it would ...

I consider pre-1990 no longer "recent", but then I think about Jurassic Park being over 20 years ago and think I should bump it up to 2000.

I have watched now: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002). The last movie in the trilogy is on the DVR but it is doubtful that I shall watch it. I have long avoided the movies because I love the novels so very much and I knew that...

Predestination is nothing like Minority Report, believe me. Without completely spoiling it, I can't say any more.

No, I don't think very many people will find Chappie to be of interest. Better to watch one of the director's earlier films, District 9, which is excellent.

It's on my list of movies to get to. I will probably watch with my 16 year old son, who plays in a jazz ensemble.

Predestination - Ethan Hawke in a really offbeat time travel movie that is definitely not for everyone. I thought it was a little too weird. :lol: Wild - Reese Witherspoon stars as a woman who takes time off from her life to get away from it all and hike the pacific trail and discover herself along ...
