and also, did the ending to THEY WON'T FORGET bother you as much as it did me? or rather, should i say, does the fact that the film doesn't so much "end" as it "stops completely" bother you as much as it did me?
Leo Frank would like a word with you. (They Won't Forget is based on the case of him and Mary Phagan.)

Is anybody else thinking of the former poster Cinemascope? Or have I got the wrong handle?

It's so easy for someone who's not an authoritative management voice at TCM to trash TCM and declare that the issue is its problem.

A song like I Saw Her Standing There uses the same chord progression but with the addition of a C (over the 'Oh,,,,when I saw her standing there' part).

There hasn't been any original music since Josquin des Prez, anyway.

I'm trying to select a movie for tonight. There's a lots of good inspiration here.
I watched The Delta Force (1986) this weekend. Fun but utterly undemanding. Poor Lee Marvin looks like death warmed over, and fat-era Shelley Winters gets to overact in her limited scenes. 8/10.

A lot of pop artists' ouevres are being turned into musicals.
Jersey Boys (The Four Seasons)
Movin' Out (Billy Joel)
Beautiful (Carole King)
The Bodyguard (Whitney Houston)all come to mind in addition to the above mentioned Mamma Mia. There are probably others I don't know of since I don't follow Broadway closely (I only learned about The Bodyguard musical recently, and it premiered in 2012). Sounds highly original to me.

I'm not much into modern horror genre, as most seem to be formulaic, so I'll probably give it a pass.
Fab Five Freddy hardest hit.

Actually, when I think about it, I like to take comfort in convincing myself I haven't SEEN the worst nude scene ever yet.

She's also in the surprisingly good The Killer That Stalked New York.

You hate "MOTW"?
The first time I commented on it here, I said it was the movie that answered the question of what sort of movie you'd get if Woody Allen played the part of a 12-year-old girl.
Some people actually didn't like that comment.

The best part of My Fair Lady is when they rhyme "rather be" with "bother me".

I'd like to see Schtonk! get a DVD/Blu-ray release in the US. The German department at my college showed it 25 years ago when I was a student there, but I've never seen it show up anyplace since.
It's a comedy about the Hitler Diaries hoax, if anybody remembers that.

The scene in Night Nurse I always get a kick of out is when Stanwyck tells her boyfriend about the maid suggesting a milk bath for the kid. Next thing you know, the gangsters are knocking over a dairy.

Nitpick: it's "La" Parisienne, unless by using "Un" you were trying to make Bardot male.

Cries and Whispers.
Although, if you're sick of latter-day films having teal and orange color schemes, this is the movie for you.

At least this time around, we have Pentagon generals talking about tackling the president if he launches the missiles, hallelujah.
Drone-bombing innocent children to death, however, is just A-OK.

For baffling nude scenes, how about Prospero's Books?

And Rolling Stone will report on this unironically despite having fabricated the Jackie Coakley story out of whole cloth and having to pay a seven-figure settlement for it.
