It's the kind of stuff they could even use with some of the WHV DVD releases, assuming there are no legal/copyright impediments.

Among recent documentaries/filmed concerts, Martin Scorsese's *No Direction Home* and *Shine a Light* have got to be some of the best there is. *Shine a Light* is, of course, new to DVD and *No Direction Home* has been out for years now, so I took some time to watch both this week. Though they are of course very different films, they both offer a great retrospective to some of the great changes in music that began some 40 years ago and are still influential today. Sometime in the near future I'll also be checking out *The Last Waltz* and *Woodstock* since I haven't seen them in ages.

If anyone can make me a copy that I can buy from them (or we can trade movies), please contact me at matthew.sherwin@yahoo.com. Thank you, Matt Sherwin So did you record it earlier today?

I did at one point take the WB tour. As for Paramount... let's just say I may have toured it on my own when nobody was watching. That's all I'll say.

*A.I. Artificial Intelligence* Next: Goldie Hawn

I agree with everything that filmlover said. Sadly, many of those who interact with him in other parts of the forums don't realize how intentionally annoying he is, because they haven't been following his behaviour in this DVD forum for the last few months.

*To Be or Not To Be* Next: Ronald Reagan.

> {quote:title=casablancalover wrote:}{quote} > Paramount Studios has a number of ghosts, most of them delightfully benign. Music filters through near the Melrose entrance, not far from Rudolph Valentino's offices. People claim to hear it after the studio shutdown, well after midnight. There are other's who notice the nattily-dressed man who walks around the sound stages on the old Desilu side, near the Gower Entrance, sometimes at dusk. Folks around there surmise it is Bugsy Seigel, who is buried across the wall at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary. Some have even claimed they've watched him walk through the wall! If you find the right tour guide, you can get great stories. I wonder why the Paramount tour isn't as well known as Universal Studios tours.

Amazon has announced that it will be selling a Blu-Ray version of *Beat the Devil*, however it isn't being distributed by a major studio, so it looks to be a public-domain release. Obviously the movie has been in PD hell for a few years now, so it's anyone's guess how bad the BR version might look. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0019SYV0W

> {quote:title=Web wrote:}{quote} > Filmlover, nothing would indicate that cellophanekid read your message and still posted. He might have but I think he simply doesn't read other posts unless by chance. He cuts, comes here, hits paste and then leaves. filmlover and others in this forum have been patiently asking hemorroidkid to please not post mindlessly for many months now. there is no reason to think that he isn't just doing it to annoy others.

This sounds like it could be interesting. What about angels watching over mortals, as in Wim Wenders' *Wings of Desire* ?

I've only visited one, personally. But looking at this L.A. Times Photogallery makes me wish I'd been to more of them: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-hauntedhollywood-pg,0,6509334.photogallery My favorite is the ghost of the Pantages Theater (which regrettably I didn't get to hear on my latest visit). I also wish Universal Studios would let visitors stop by Stage 28, which reportedly houses the spirit of Lon Chaney.

> {quote:title=CineMaven wrote:}{quote} > This is a wonderful idea for a thread Miss Goddess, if I hadn't said so before. And successful too...so many responses. One can tell when people want to engage in a topic by the number of responses. Posting ten, twelve, twenty threads does not make one popular. Seeing so many threads created by one, two or three individuals, (duplicate threads if you will) only to be unanswered definitely says a lot. With MOVIE RAMBLES we need not create a million threads for every little cinematic thought that comes to our little pointed head, when this thread can cover any little cinematic thought that comes into our little pointed head. > Well said! > But there he is in "The Great Sinner" playing a gambling addict. He must be sick; gambling must be a disease. I wasn't convinced before, but I am. Why? Becuz of Ava. To have Ava Gardner with her arms around your neck, her face close saying she's yours to take...and you still want to go gambling...dude, this must be a sickness. > True, that. B-)
