It's a hard choice.
It came down to Silver Screen Oasis, Hollywood Babble On, and everybody's favorite, Shangri-La-De-Da.
I've tried to picture the logos for them at the top and all look good in my mind, but I decided against my own because why waste a vote since it won't win? I also thought long and hard about Hollywood Babble On because it is a very clever use of words, but I hate to think we are babbling. However, Silver Screen Oasis had me imagining a beautiful place of the glory days of Hollywood movies, a desert paradise for knowledgeable fans of movies to laze around and discuss things. Sort of a place you would see in a Rudy Valentino or even a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby Road picture.
So, my vote goes to Silver Screen Oasis.

The Plastic Age. Of course.

I'm not sure if this will influence voting or not, but the text of the novel that The Plastic Age is based on is available as a free download here. I read a couple of chapters of it, and man, is it a stinker.

It might be interpreted as electioneering, but so far you're right. It stinks. No wonder it is in the public domain. And I think my next screen name should be Hezekiah!

I remember the first time I heard "Midnight at the Oasis" on my car radio, in the Summer of '73, I thought sure it was the new Holiday Inn ad.JulieMarch4th wrote:Silver Screen Oasis is great! As long as it's not Midnight at the Silver Screen Oasis

And a month later, I bought the LP.
What can I say? Steve Miller had evaporated, Tull & Fleetwood were on hiatus, and the Eagles were still just a rumor.

Thanks, Moira.
I've been looking around, getting the lay of the land. It took me a little while to get an avatar set up since it's something I'd never done before. Just following the directions at the profile page and in my own picture editing program (to get a picture down to an acceptable size) and voila... a masterpiece. As I said in one of my other posts, I'll change it to something appropriate for a classic movie forum as soon as I can find one that I like.
I also like the fact that non-movie discussions have a home forum of their own. This was one of my pet peeves over at TCM. Of course, some of that was the fault of some posters letting themselves be carried away with their politics or their fascination with trash news.
Kudos to all responsible for this site.
