  1. "Sex and the Single Girl" (1964) Watching right now.... never saw it before. Very stylish!
  2. Were I lived TSRTS always was a midnight show on a Saturday night. So if people were bored and not doing anything else everyone would just show up to see the movie. Across town a different kind of crowd would go see 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'. If we were driving past that crowd to see the Zep movie would we throw stuff at the freak sow dressed up in costumes going into see Rocky Horror. Here in SoCal and for many years, you could usually see TSRTS at two places every weekend if you wanted. The Fairfax Cinema on Beverly Blvd, in the Fairfax district near Hollywood (they advertised: "In Mega Quad Sound)" Or the United Artist Theater on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena California.
  3. LOL! We used to do that to the girls in the 5th grade. Do that now and you would be on the evening news with your photo next to Harvey Weinstein. I always like what Chris Rock said, "if my daddy hadn't sexually harassed my momma I wouldn't be here". He Red, remember this one: You turn your back to the girl and then looking back over your right shoulder take your left finger and point to your right shoulder with your right hand still down at your side and say, "Did I ever show you where the horse bit me?"--- as you point to your shoulder. And when she leans in close to look at your shoulder your right hand 'drifts' over to her southern naughty bits area...... and well you know the rest. Can't do that kind of 'birds and bees' stuff anymore.
  4. 1941 was pretty bad. But E.T. and Lincoln were equally bad too... oops, did I say that out loud?
  5. Carl Reiner was one the few remaining comic actors to have been in the greatest American comedy film of all time-- "It's, a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World" (1962). He only had a bit part in the film, but every other comedy great of his time was there.
  6. I think is may be on the Autism Spectrum a bit. And I'm not saying that to make fun, just gives me that impression is all.
  7. Never noticed this before. Tarrantino found a way to put himself in the film... well, actually the movie poster.
  8. That film (The Kings Speech) could be used to sedate people to have major surgery. "Remains of the Day" "The English Patient" "Chariots of Fire" "Seven Years in Tibet" All are a snooze fest
  9. Well, some serial killers are funny... some not all. I mean take like the one guy who would dress up as a clown. Clowns are kind of funny. aren't they? Well, unless people are scared of clowns, and then I guess they aren't funny-- so why not then be a serial killing clown? I'll have to think more on the subject.

    Bier

    What the hell happened ton Newcasltle Brown Ale? They changed not only the bottle but the recipe. Used to be one of my favorites, now it SUCKS ASS. This "new" Newcastle is worse than new Coke was.
  11. I saw the Kings Speech in the theater and fell asleep about 5 times. Now just mentioning the movie I feel like going to 'sleepy town".
  12. Two great actors. Did you ever see "Nevada Smith"? That was filmed in that area near Mt. Whitney. Great Steve McQueen film. I've been on a McQueen kick since seeing "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" last summer and they had an actor playing a bit part covering McQueen. I remember during the summer of Manson reading where McQueen didn't go anywhere with his Colt Python revolver under the seat.
  13. I finally checked out the Western Film History museum in Lone Pine California last summer after driving past the museum many times over many years. Actually spent the night at the Dow Villa motel, had lunch at the Frosty Chalet, and then hung out at the only saloon in town 'Jake's Saloon' where I met a German family on holiday and we had a great time and conversations on many topics. His favorite American western I thought a good pick, he liked Shane and also Red River. I was expecting him to say a Clint Eastwood film. When he asked my favorite German film I could only think of two: Das Boot and Stalingrad and he smiled. He said at least I knew of two as most Americans he met hadn't even seen those. We both also liked the WW2 submarine film 'The Enemy Below". We drank beer (Newcastle) until midnight and parted ways having learned much about each other's perspectives. Photo from yelp
  14. And also the stolen riff. Heart big fans of Jimmy Page.... well, they learned from the best
  15. Watched this yesterday. Streamed from TCM The Getaway (1972) with Steve McQueen the king of cool
  16. "The Man Who Would Be King" one of my favorites. Gunga Din filmed here in California in the area on the Eastern Sierra where the rock formations are known as 'the Alabama Hills' Parts of Tarantino's film 'Django Unchained shot there. The local film museum has lots of great stuff to see. Another really great Adventure film was "The Wind and the Lion" (1975)
