I love cell animation, too, particularly the Warners. My favorite short is One Froggy Evening (hence my “name”), but other Warner Brother favorites include: Feed the Kitty (Chuck Jones pairing the adorable “pussyfoot” with the wonderfully named dog, “Marc Anthony”); the “pronoun trouble” Daffy insis...

New to the Dance Party, hope this works! A couple from Robyn Hitchcock (I don’t know how to edit a youtube video). First, the beautiful (and mellow), I Often Dream of Trains, which is followed by the (rather less mellow) The Man With The LIghtbulb Head (He turns himself on in the dark!) Enjoy... [yo...

Wow, I completely forgot about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ! Probably the second movie I saw in the theater (drive-in, actually). I remember the kidnapping giving me a number of sleepless nights, but wanted the soundtrack album anyway. I got that, plus the car! Slightly bigger than a Matchbox, as i reca...

We stole this premise at the public radio station I worked for, using local “celebrities” as the guests. It was a great deal of fun, and as I aired the program, my own list would change every week. So, for this week I’d include (and being a rock ‘n roller at heart, I’m not even considering classical...

I agree with charliechaplinfan that, although there are “mysteries” surrounding Marilyn’s death, it’s most likely an accidental suicide. More the loss for us, I think, because Marilyn, as a great actress, was just getting started. (Her performance in The Misfists proves that.) I like to think that a...

Nancy, Your pictures look all too familiar. Here, the storm was so slow moving, my wife and I literally watched the TV radar for hours, just battening down the hatches, waiting for it to get here already, and then leave. Before it knocked out our power, the TV news showed an apartment building, wher...

So, Friday night, here in Indiana, we had amazingly severe weather, including a tornado that touched down not three miles from my house. We found out the hard way that the new roof we’d had put on last June looks better then it functions, as we had a deluge in our dinning room, with rain pouring in ...

Chaplin wrote the music as one of the main themes for Modern Times and Joe Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added lyrics in 1954. Nat King Cole had a huge hit with it (It sounds a bit overproduced now, but Nat really nails it). I like Madeleine Peyroux’s take, but it’s slightly more upbeat (with the ukes...

I find it interesting that this thread has changed from whether Griffith himself was racist to whether The Birth of a Nation is a racist film. It seems there’s an issue with semantics going on here. Looking up racism/racist in the Meriam-Webster Online Dictionary, the definition reads: http://www.me...

ChiO, West is a fine album. Many of the songs are about Lucinda’s mother who had recently died, but the album isn’t somber. My favorite is still Car Wheels (do you have the Deluxe Edition? The second disc is live and it ROCKS...) So far Ah Um is the only Mingus I have. I’m more into Davis and Coltra...
