Could be Canadians, ay!

What the hell kind of a name is 'Hurd', anyway? Goofy European parents.

Really? Anyone else here have spammers seeking out some of their posts and "liking" them?

Which sites are being advertised by this particular spam? Have you run it through a translator. I have - there's no sense to any of it whatsoever. There are no sites being drawn toward. There is no message. That anyone would pay a boiler room dweller anything to flood these forums with meaningless faux-Korean is a pretty strange way to spend money. I think it's personal. Someone is messing with these forums for their own reasons.

There are a number of reasons. One of them is that there have been instances where a "member" that is planting the spam has visited some of my posts, in different threads, individually, and "liked" them. That is not bot behavior.

I believe you're wrong about this case being bot caused. I believe it's personal this time.

It's relative. 1999 is pretty recent to people who mostly watch movies from 1948.

He got an A in -----disturbing, though.

Thanks, moderator1. Excellent job cleaning up all that spam for us just now. It's always disheartening to see a new attack begin.

What in the world are you saying?

You should quote contrarian remarks when you reply to them. Some of us can't see them and are not aware of what provoked your response.

Your intense interest in "vulgarity" (your word) is.......laudable? Maybe peculiar is a better word.

Not exactly a quick study, are you?

I'm sure he was being very sincere and responsible at the time.

Says you. I'm sure there are many people who thought he was a fine fellow with a valuable mind. Different times, different circumstances, different conventions, are easy to pass judgement upon in today's "enlightened" environment. Which is why people do it so much - it's easy.

Doesn't make him wrong about the American public. Flawed people can be right about some things. And a good thing too, considering everyone is flawed to some degree at some time or other.

It's the golden age of Hollywood because even with all that constrained, same-old, overly-theatrical, Conservative weak tea, the theaters did great business and the industry made tons of money. TV wouldn't begin to really be a threat until the late 50's - and, not coincidentally, that's when push-back against a lot of the code's influence really began to make itself felt. By the late 60's the boomers were spending most of the entertainment dollars the industry saw, and we were pretty damned sick of all the censorship and demanded to see realness. The "golden age of hollywood" was definitely not the golden age of good movies. That wouldn't begin until the Supreme Court tore away the power of the production code.

My cousin drove a limousine in Toronto. He told me that John Candy was the nicest client he'd ever met.

Click on full screen to get the most out of this video. Maybe my favorite EJ song and perfect for a Halloween posting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWccOufzr4s

From 'Walk Among Us', here's punk band The Misfits and 'Night of the Living Dead'.

Come on, have a heart, Bogie. Some members are so grateful there's still a few who will acknowledge their existence that you can hardly blame them for not wanting any conversation they get to end.

Wouldn't be Halloween without a little 'Bloodletting'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLABwwmKdyc

If you cautioned that the clip the link leads to has "language" - why on earth would mod1 remove the link? Are links going to be judged and censured now?

Good point.
