    Why? ! WHY? !

    *raises hand* I'm one of 'em!;) Siskel & Ebert did a piece on fullscreen vs. widescreen. It was (and still is) my favorite example of the difference in formats. Unfortunately I don't have it on tape, but I remember their experiment. S&E showed a scene from the Cary Grant/Doris Day...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Merry Christmas, movie house! Sorry...I was just picturing you as Jimmy Stewart at the end of It's a Wonderful Life, running through the snow, lol!:D Anyway, it snowed overnight...on top of the snow that's been on the ground for a good part of the week. Right now, there are still some...

    You Tube Christmas Greeting

    Another TV Land Outrage!

    I agree that Popeye (1980) is a very underrated film. Although it contains director Robert Altman's trademarks (such as overlapping dialogue and an ensemble cast), the film was a box office failure that broke Altman's nearly ten-year cycle of critically-acclaimed films, including M*A*S*H, his...

    Favorite Rankin-Bass Christmas Special

    The Stingiest Man In Town, a 1978 musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol. It features the vocal talents of Walter Matthau, Tom Bosley, Theodore Bikel, Robert Morse, Dennis Day and Paul Frees. What's interesting about this one is that it was based on a live-action 1956 TV special of the same...

    Todays Music

    All I know is, if I was alive in the 1960s, I would be constantly broke, buying albums left and right! I could see myself waiting for new releases by the Beatles, the Stones, the Byrds, Cream, Dylan, the Doors, etc. Not to mention 45s (some artists, such as the Kinks and the Beatles would...

    Todays Music

    Well, I'll listen to anything once. But the bulk of my music taste stretches from the mid-1950s to the early-1990s. Say from Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent and Elvis to Nirvana. Rockabilly, Rock & Roll, Surf, Folk, Psychedelic, Acid, Country (the greats, including Merle Haggard, George...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Again, though, I live on the shoreline, so it's a little warmer. We usually don't get as much snow as some other parts of the state. But, just to play it safe, all schools are closed.

    How's the weather where you are?

    Well, we're supposed to have our first real snowfall of the year today. The schools are all closed, but it's pretty dry out there right now.

    Shakespeare!

    LOL! I WISH such a production actually existed! No, this is just a fan-made script, in which the author imagined how "Hamlet" would play with comedians from the 1930s and 1940s. As far as I know, Groucho Marx never attempted Hamlet!:p Although, he did appear in a televised (and I think...

    Yeah! And Groucho as Hamlet is a hoot!

    Shakespeare!

    One of my favorite Hamlet parodies is A Night In Elsinore, in which classic Hollywood comedians enact the play: http://www.shakespeare-parodies.com/hamlet.html Groucho Marx is Hamlet Chico Marx is Horatio Harpo Marx is The Ghost Margaret Dumont is Gertrude Oliver Hardy is Rosencrantz...
