I haven't seen it, but my library has the Criterion disc - so I went to IMDb to see what it says about the movie. I'm not much of a fan of studio era, but the title intrigued me. So, maybe it's a good title. From what I read, it refers to choosing which horse on a merry-go-round to ride. It signifies arbitrary decisions, the explanation of being difficult to explain, if not impossible. Anyway, sounds more interesting than most 40's movies and I'm gonna give it a look.

Well, you sure as hell aren't making any sense when you say you don't know what 'Pulp Fiction' is trying to do but many schlocky horror movies do it better. I think it's just another piece of empty rhetoric that you thought you could pass off as witty. Probably sounded clever to you - but because there's no actual thought behind it, you can't explain what it's supposed to mean. Should've left the "schlocky horror movies do it better" part of the sentence out - it exposes the statement for the drivel it is.

If you don't know what "it was trying to do", how do you know anything else does it better? Name some of the "many" schlocky horror films that do better what Pulp Fiction was trying to do.

The only problem I have with 'Pulp Fiction' as entertainment is that the Samuel L. Jackson character talks too damn much. It gets bloody annoying after awhile. If I had to hang around with a guy like that, at some point I'd just shoot him in the temple. No warning. Just "enough - I can't listen to you for one more second" - spoken not in words, but by the bullet going into his brain.

As a Canadian, I am green with envy. 100 movies from the 70's and 80's?? Me want!!

Both are good songwriters, though Donovan was a more prolific hit maker. I have 2 cd's from each of them.

When a recurring sketch (Carol Burnett Show) is THAT popular, it's not surprising that they'd make it into its own series. Same thing happened with The Simpsons.

Thanks, Holden. We really appreciate this schedule. Much easier on the eyes.

Time to bump the schedule up so you don't have to scroll down too far.

‹(•¿•)› A little more modern this year. Good stuff.

Way to come through with the schedule, Holden. We really appreciate it.

Woulda been better if he'd run for 43rd. That one was the worst ever.

Very interesting schedule.

George C. Scott has a couple of little-seen gems in 'Rage' (1971) and 'The Last Run' (1972) scheduled. Those are quite welcome. Wish they'd given 'The Savage Is Loose' (1974) or 'Islands in the Stream' (1977) but maybe next time.

Holden has been very patient in bringing us this schedule. Way to go, Holden!

Marilyn Monroe, Claire Bloom, Elizabeth Montgomery

If they have to foist a whole day of Shelley Winters on us, why couldn't they have given us some of her more fun stuff - like 'Wild in the Streets' (1968) or 'Bloody Mama' (1970). Those, I'd watch.

OMG!! Alan Arkin day is fantastic! Little Murders!! Little Murders, everybody! We were posting about that one not so long ago. Please God, let Canadians have this one.

His shirt isn't the only thing he's losing that starts with shi and ends with t.

What a glorious opportunity to fill your library with early Marx Brothers movies. Even Cocoanuts!! Early 30's Marx's are the best Marx's.

I'm disappointed that Fred Astaire day didn't include 'Ghost Story' (1981). Really liked that one.

Too late.

Remember, you're asking a woman. A great many women love movies that make them cry - they actually recommend movies to one another based on that criteria. They clearly think that it's fun. Or at least, massively entertaining - which is a kind of fun. If I say to a guy, "you should see this movie - it's guaranteed to make you cry", he'll look at me pretty strangely.
