I watched this video from Vegas Film Critic about Native Son with Jacqueline and Eddie after posting. It is much longer than the intro, so they can go into more detail. They even talk about how it was difficult to do this intro because they felt that there were elements of the movie that needed to be explained for people to understand what they were watching.3 points

I never saw that detail-THANKS for pointing that out. That bungalow must have been great for a working Mother like Hamilton-and I bet it looked more livable, enviting when she was there. I do hate when people decorate their homes with all the ambiance of a hotel room. Replaced all the wood floors, trim & cabinets with cheapie MDF/particleboard looks like plastic. 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms? Dontcha love seeing a toilet from the kitchen? I'd rather have pantry storage than a 3rd toilet. My pantry was converted to a small bathroom off the kitchen and it only comes in handy to dump the wet vacuum out, not for people dumping, haha.2 points

Not quite true--Paramount did retain a select few of its pre-1950 talkies, and most of its silent films. (I would love to see those silent films restored and paired with accompaniment, but I know better than to hold my breath. At least they have licensed some of them to Kino or other labels.)2 points

For me, in an action film, I think it depends on if the character is written to be the same age as the actor or actress. Sticking to the Tom Cruise example, I believe that he can physically do the things he does in movies. What works less for me is how so many of his characters are ageless blank slates. The movies wouldn't be any different if the character was 30. I find someone like Liam Neeson more believable, and the main reason is that his characters seem like they had a life before the movie started.2 points

I love Marsha Mason, especially in the Neil Simon comedies in which she appeared. She was neurotically adorable in THE GOODBYE GIRL and I loved her in ONLY WHEN I LAUGH. I liked her as part of the ensemble cast of THE CHEAP DETECTIVE, too. On TV, she was very funny as Martin Crane's girlfriend on "Frazier" and as Patricia Heaton's hip mother on "The Middle."1 point

That's what I was listening to and the "bonus" selections were wisely left off of that perfect record.1 point
