to a heart that's true.

It was around 11 last night when I suddenly realized I'd forgotten about this movie being scheduled. I'd had every intention of recording it for my collection, but yesterday was a busy day and it slipped my mind. I'm quite disappointed about it. I remember an afternoon back around 1988 when I was watching this wonderful movie on pay-tv. My daughter was in the room playing with her toys - she was around 3 1/2 at the time. Every now and then I'd glance at her - and there'd she be taking a break from playing, watching this movie of all old people talking. I especially remember when Vincent Price was doing his most important monologue, I looked at her and she was absolutely transfixed by him and what he was saying. She was a very literary child. Still is.

My favorite as well. Can't get enough of 60's psychedelic.

Hopefully, nipper reads that. Which reminds me of an SCTV sketch where Lorne Greene is rehearsing for a music special and starts singing "the cabin boy, the cabin boy, the dirty little nipper...." and the producer interrupts, saying "Lorne - I told you, you can't sing those songs on television" and Lorne replies "oh for gawd sakes, there was hardly anything dirty in that one".

3 months is not that "many, many". 8 or 9 months - now that would be "many, many". Your thread should probably be titled "Why is TCM's film schedule set three months in advance?". Accuracy in language is a good thing.

'Funny Farm' (1988) A couple move from the city to a small rural community in Vermont and try to adjust to a new lifestyle of farm-dwelling and small-town sociability. Stars Chevy Chase. 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore' (1974) comes to mind as a movie about moving as well.

Symbolism in movies can be tough. Not unlike trying to "figure out" abstract art in its way. So, I sometimes "feel" movies and seem to enjoy that. Taking drugs can help. I remember when I saw 2001 in the theater back around 1970, the air in there was sweet with the odor of cannabis. I'm pretty sure there was a fair amount of clear liquid at work in the audience as well. Good times.

I have - and I have a DVD of it in my personal collection. I like everything about that movie.

Here's a Buffalo Springfield song (written by Stephen Stills) from 1966 - done by these Mojo Men in 1967 for their one and only hit. Sit Down, I Think I Love You

He was 87. https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/news/gregory-walcott--reluctant-star-of--plan-9-from-outer-space---dies-at-87-122515682.html

James Dean. Case closed.

Probably my fault. They're pretty sure I'd use it on someone.

Are you trying to speak about your l a d e n majora or your l a d e n minora?

Yeah, I thought he was referring to pointless "no-thought" junk like Julia Roberts movies - 'Mystic Pizza' or 'Pretty Woman'. You know, crap like that. Tim Robbims was clinging to life throughout the movie, but he had to die (it was his time) and the experiences in his mind were a result of his fighting the journey into the afterlife. This is what his "angel", played by Danny Aiello, is patiently trying to make him realize. While 'The Sixth Sense' may have been inspired in its ending by 'Jacob's Ladder', it's quite possible that 'Jacob's Ladder' was similarly inspired by 'Dead & Buried' (1981). Anyway, I'm off to watch a Julia Roberts movie so my brain can rest-in-peace for a while. Just hope my stomach can take it.

I haven't any objection to your take on the movie. You probably won't be interested, but if you wish to delve further into trying to understand the fascination, here's a DVD that may be of interest. I found it at the Guelph library, so maybe you can find it in a library close to you. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0839739/reference

Yeah, but Leno is noted for provoking disinterest from his guests with that boring interview style of his. What a dud. No wonder middle-America watched him every night.

Sure as hell hope that mod is gone. It's hard enough being entertaining to other members without having to worry about entertaining the gods.

Well, it's a pretty damned stupid movie as it is, so you've got a point. They maybe could've made it into something of a cult item instead of the waste of celluloid it is. Maybe I'm being too harsh - little kids probably find it to be pretty awesome.

They're scared of us.

Threads only get buried in the general discussions area if they are boring, or when they become so. There may be good discussion of film going on in the sub-forums, but people don't go to them nearly as much as they do the "current events and recent topics" areas. No matter how much you "advocate", you'll never succeed in changing this behavior. That's because it's normal.

They'd have to be fully nude for me to judge their "realism".

Back at ya, GayD! Sorry, I didn't see your greeting as I shut down right after making that last post to Nipkow and went to bed. But it's kinda morning for me now , so........ a morning wave to you as well!

You'd be complaining about it, wouldn't you?

First time I've ever seen a person deliberately ride back and forth in front of that many rifles aimed right at him from close range in defiance of their ability to hit him and get away with it - all the while in some mystic, crucifixion pose. And I know why I've never seen that before - because only someone who thinks he's very, very special would ever film such a ridiculous thing. Until Costner came along, nobody had that degree of temerity. Like I said - puke-worthy.

Who's TB?
