Happy birthday, Ed! Have an MST3K day, filled with public-domain Karaokie songs, Daktari stools, canned wassail, a special visit by Yakov Smirnoff (paid with Mike's credit card, of course...without Mike knowing, shhhh!), junk drawers made especially for junk, and a porcertina, a pig-shaped...

Welles passed away right at the dawn of colorization...1985. But he did specify that Citizen Kane and his other B&W films be left alone, and to never fall into the hands of "Ted Turner and his d***** Crayolas." Around this time, a lot of Hollywood legends were fortunately still around, and...

There's no way something like The Dick Van Dyke Show or All In the Family would survive today. Both of these series had low ratings during their first seasons, and were on the brink of cancellation. They gained a following in the summer, when reruns were shown. Networks today don't seem to...

Actually, I'm referring more to TV broadcasts of movies...I know AMC, TBS and other channels utilize this practice. Oftentimes, the opening credits have to be presented in widescreen, otherwise you'd lose names and/or business going on behind the credits.

I myself have never been distracted by the "black bars." And I have a 27-inch screen. What does distract me is when a pre-credit sequence and/or title sequence is in widescreen, and then I'm jarred when the picture becomes fullscreen, usually after the director's credit.

BRRRRRRRRR...it sure is cold in my neck of the woods! The snow is still hard packed on the ground, but at least the roads are clear.

Exactly. Ghostbusters, particularly the elevator scene is a mess in P&S. On the DVD commentary, Ramis or Aykroyd specifies this scene as a nightmare in full frame. One of them says something to the effect, "oh, I was in that scene after all." This is another great example of full screen vs...

Heh, heh...great song there, Claudia!:) Loved the artwork too!;)

Awwwww...that's very sweet, Claudia!:) :D

*splashes water onto Claudia* WAKEE WAKEE!

Very nice, Claudia!:) :D

Hmmm...it might make a good horror movie...a haunted screenplay!:eek: I heard about this on one of those E! series...maybe Mysteries & Scandals?

LOL, Boober would definitely agree. I saw a copy of the screenplay on ebay one time. The funny thing is, the project isn't dead yet. There are still filmmakers and actors who want to do the thing.

Popular, larger-than-life comedians who died too young maybe? OR... "The Curse of Atuk," which supposedly claimed the lives of many funny men, including John Candy. Atuk is a screenplay for a proposed comedy about an Eskimo who winds up in New York City, and finds it challenging to adapt...

I hear ya. Sometimes after the initial high of Yay! No school! the novelty wears off, and you're like...so...uh...what should I do today? As for my neck of the woods, it's sunny. The snow on the ground is pretty hard. You can walk on it almost without breaking it. Temps are below 30, but...

Wonderful to hear they're all doing better, Marty! I wish you and your family the best of health and happiness!:)

Again, very nice vid, Beth! Sorry I couldn't hear it!:)

I'm sorry for your loss, Patricia.

Claudia...I'm on the edge of my seat here!;)

Excellent outline! I'm a big fan of Andy, and he would have made a perfect guest on TMS!:)
