That's me too. It's just so hard to work up the energy.

My decision to stop seeing movies in theaters has nothing to do with the movies that play there. It has to do with preferring to watch in the comfort of my own home. This didn't use to be possible in ancient times. Home entertainment has made theater-going unnecessary - unless one absolutely HAS to see movies right away. Generally speaking, it's mostly "kids" who think it's imperative to keep up with what's happening in movies - for social purposes as much as entertainment. So, I'm fine with letting the kids have the theaters. It's not like no other movies get made with the home market in mind. There's plenty. And, on average, they're better movies.

Lava Lamps are way cool. Love those things.

This isn't the first time it's been suggested that you and I should maybe take our act out on the road, Dargs. Remember? More sensitive men might begin to feel like maybe they're not wanted around here.

They really are an interesting bunch, aren't they. Here's an "official" video of their song 'Kingfisher'. Pretty cool.

Gettin' slower by the day, my friend.

It wasn't a copyright issue. It was an issue of a site being forbidden to copy from because it's known to have a great deal of "unsuitable" content.

Jeesh. We can't even joke around with you.

At a penny a push she should soon have enough to buy an autographed Warren William photo!

I was once unable to embed a photo in my post. Turns out photos from certain sites are not allowed. While there were lots of photos from that site that would be unsuitable for embedding here, the one I was trying to embed was not a "bad" one. Other than that one instance, no problems.

All I can remember is Ted being all excited about seeing a moo-moo (cow) outside. Only read it once in 1971 and that's the one thing that stuck.

Much to my disappointment, we didn't get 'To the Devil A Daughter' up here in Canada. We got yet another showing of 'Demon Seed' with Julie Christie. It's not that I don't like 'Demon Seed', mind you - the voice of Robert Vaughn as Proteus MAKES that movie, it's just that I haven't ever seen the Devil Daughter one.

I think in her case it's more about the kick she gets from reminding people that she has them (or others) on ignore. I think she may be under the illusion that someone - anyone - cares what she sees or doesn't see.

For some reason, primos has promoted the use of the "ignore" feature dozens, if not hundreds, of times. She's proclaimed its wonderfulness repeatedly.

Yes. It began with Sha Na Na, who appeared at Woodstock.

Paxton Quigley's Had the Course - Chad & Jeremy (from 3 in the Attic)

My daughter always liked the witch. However, she hated her Kansas counterpart, the mean Miss Gulch, passionately.

A reasonable assumption - it was his first, and biggest, hit. I liked when he did it on SCTV and started turning into Ed Grimley as he was singing it. Funny!

Strasberg was the con man who coined the term 'The Method' and a simple-minded media ran with it. Stella was an adherent of the Stanislavskian Method and was the person who had instructed Brando in its exercises and principles. Brando said 'The Method' that the media was constantly chattering about was just some bush!t term that Strasberg was using to sell himself as some visionary teacher. He went on to say that he never learned a thing from Strasberg and that Strasberg "would take credit for the moon and stars if he could". Or something like that. Strasberg owned the school (the Actors Studio in New York) and I guess he felt because the studio was his, he deserved the credit for Brando's dynamic, yet naturalistic, style which electrified audiences and influenced other actors forever after.

That's something I'd not been aware of - until I just now read it here. Are you speaking about some who "studied" at Lee Strasberg's? Can you name anyone in particular who espoused that sentiment?

I had zero use for punk rock back then. I think, though, that it's interesting that in today's America, it seems to have become more pertinent and appropriate a reaction. 1977 almost seems like paradise now.

Lyrics from 'Right Before Your Eyes' by America: so I pretend away that I'm Rudolph Valentino pull up in my limousine oh won't you come in out of the rain things'll never be the same and then just like Greta Garbo you stare like there's no tomorrow

Yep. Not even-tempered like Marion. 70's punk is more entertaining now than it was back then, dont'cha think?

Okay. But I'll cheer up to MDC.

Ughh. I always liked that Holly song. Until today. Thanks a bunch, Nipkow.
