I agree.

Colonel Kurtz.

Hitler ranted at his own genitals?? Oh, wait. Gotta stop using that small print, Dude.

I think your chances of getting more of the world dumbed down are a lot better than ours are at keeping it educated as much as it is. I expect you'll win eventually.

Hmm. Something tells me they won't jump at the opportunity.

I don't give a crap about people eating frogs anymore than I care about people eating fish. But eat a kitty and you're dead to me.

G D right. Those people eat kitties.

Wow, that was one small window, wasn't it.

Not completely. We ran it everyday for 2 weeks at the theater, and I saw that nip a couple of dozen times. I was in 18 year-old heaven. Ahh, love.

You can pm me and missw and Tom and Bogie and Meingast till you're blue in the face, which apparently is what you're going for, but we're just gonna keep responding the same way - "take off, ay".

I liked Keaton in 'Batman' as well. Didn't like him as much in 'Batman Returns' - but I blame the script for that.

He's brilliant if he did.

Yes. A daughter in the mix is truly wonderful.

You're perioding again.

My first reaction was thinking - well, I am trying to be less of one.

I don't know what it is, but these past few weeks have been marvellous. Lots of activity, lots of entertainment, lots of camaraderie. These boards are happening.

Would've been a two-fer with Shelley Winters too. 'Kitten with a Whip' is sorely missed. So's 'Stagecoach'. I think I'm gonna have to give up on ever seeing 'Drum', though. But, yeah - there's a couple of gems there. So many good ones I'd like to see. 'The Changeling' and 'Exorcist III' would've been marvellous.

Which is why your comments are so disrespected. They aren't based on anything fair, just the mood you've decided to cling to.

A movie about an aging prizefighter who runs afoul of a monstrous gangster and has to try to get away before the quirky yet vicious and remorseless henchmen can do very bad things to him certainly doesn't sound very interesting. No wonder you were bored. If a viewer is bored watching 'Pulp Fiction', that viewer is probably too tired, too preoccupied, or too dumb. When such a one goes about years later making negative comments that make no sense, I suspect it just might be the third one. But, considering some of your contributions, it couldn't be that. Maybe there's a personality trait influencing your unlearned statements about such a highly-rated film.

That's not what you said. You said you didn't know what 'Pulp Fiction' was trying to do but so many schlocky horror movies do it better. An utterly fatuous remark. Senseless.

I saw 'The Hard Part Begins' a couple times back in the 70's. Country singer playing the bar circuit, lots of small towns, and like that. First time I ever noticed Donnelly Rhodes and thought he was very good. When he got a gig later in the U.S. on the hit series 'Soap', I was one of the few people who knew who he was. I'd love to see these films again - starting with the seminal Canadian movie that re-started the industry up here, 'Goin' Down the Road' - a wonderful movie that I must've seen 5 times, but not since the 70's.

Sounds sweet. Better marry that one before someone else scoops her up.

Holy crap. For the first time I can ever recall up here in Canada, the TCM feed was window-boxed during the showing of a movie. 'Brainstorm' was shown with huge black margins on all 4 sides - the picture shrunk to half the size of my widescreen television. I mean, it was tiny, baby. I can't think that anyone in the world would prefer to watch a movie that way. I know I never would. Thankfully, it reverted back to a widescreen feed immediately after - with 'The Ice Pirates'.

Sounds like 'The Mark' (1961) starring Stuart Whitman.

I think you need to try giving honest opinions about movies you do remember, and give up trying to sound witty.
