Wow. What mode are you recording in?

Yes, it is. Why in hell would anybody add an "a" there?

I'd love to keep her down with me for a while.

Rip Torn in 'The Cincinnati Kid' (1965). With so many stars in that one - McQueen, Edward G., Ann-Margret, Karl Malden, Tuesday Weld and such - it's easy to forget Torn's excellent performance as the heavy in the story. But, I never did - and have been a fan ever since.

I keep reading about what a great performance Power gives. But for me, it's Walker who makes the film truly worth watching. She's perfection. Too bad the movie flopped at the box office - it should have made her a star (kind of like 'Cuckoo's Nest' did for Louise Fletcher).

'One Way Pendulum' at 4:15 pm on Monday sounds worth checking out. Supposed to be "very un-pc" according to the one comment at IMDb.

What would you all like to see? I would love to see 'Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman'. Love that movie.

Republicans probably.

Things are very complicated now with cable. Embedded record-blocking signals, window-boxing, film ratios - whatever. I'm a person on a budget. If we were still back in the days when one could try getting the bells and whistles from cable for a month and cancel without incurring all kinds of hook-up costs and equipment fees and contract-break penalties, I'd maybe be willing to give HD a trial run. But they now want customers to lock into long-term contracts before one even knows if one will be satisfied with the service - and the monthly fee takes a sharp turn upward at 6 months. So, I've avoided the aggravation. Record from dvd's - and SP cable when the dvd's are not readily available to me. Simple, affordable - and good enough.

Like most movies from the studio era, it copped out.

Stockard wasn't in that. 'Trilogy of Terror' (1975) is most famous for its third segment, wherein Karen Black engages in a fight for life against a miniature devil doll.

I think the "happy" ending weakens it. But it's good up 'til then.

Wanna bet? When I went full-on hippie with the hair, I spent the next 15 years "beating them off with a stick", as the saying goes - and I'm talking about chicks sometimes much younger than myself. And good-looking ones too! The only reason that stopped is because I got tired of the scene in my late 50's. Even now, every woman my age goes out of their way to be extra agreeable to me. And trust me, I know the difference - I wasn't always so popular. But - and again, this is important - you have to have good hair. I don't see a whole lot of men over 40 who do.

Totally. I hate spoilers, first off - and I also hate being told a movie is either great or crappy by someone else if I haven't seen it. All that does is feed into preconceptions. The less I've heard, the better. So, I watch lots of movies and I trust in the universe that I'll be shown everything I'm intended to see.

What makes you think that? Homosexual people have all the parts needed for reproduction. However, the reproduction of people does not explain the increase in homosexuality - it cannot be planned that a new baby will be of the homosexual persuasion, any more than a "straight" baby can be planned. The apparent increase in the numbers probably has more to do with the comfort of "coming out", compared to earlier times. Plus, it's very much in style - especially where it concerns females and bi's.

Only women are lesbians. So saying an old man wearing earrings looks like an old lesbian is saying he looks like an old woman wearing earrings. Unless she's saying that old lesbians who wear earrings don't look like women, in which case - huh? My hair is long - rarely put in a pony tail, usually just clumped at the back. When I'm feeling hippie-ish I'll sometimes let it flow free down my back and shoulders. Chicks dig it - always have. But - and this is important - I have a head full of thick, wavy, dirty-blonde hair (now going white with remnants of the golden) - front, top, and back. No baldness whatsoever. So it always looks awesome. If you ever watched 'Oz', you may recall the long-haired brother of Ryan - he was a brain-damaged boxer. My hair is very similar to that. If I had any bald spots, I'd probably buzz it.

Changed it. Hate when that happens.

Well, I'm with you. I think skipping is good exercise - and fun too. Although last time I tried it, my shoe stuck and I fell flat on my face. I hate being in my sixties. Wish I was still 37.

We're gettin' there. What's the homosexual community up to now - 20, 25 percent of the population?

I still don't understand why Lorna thinks old women with earrings are lesbians.

I think I saw Tor skipping down the street once. Didn't say anything to him, though.

Didn't mean that to the rest of us. I blame the media of the late 60's onward for that capitulation.

The misappropriation of that word still bothers me. Before the late 60's, it was very common to hear it in songs - a great word for rhyming. Then we lost it when it was changed to mean men doing men. I still refuse to use it in a sexual way. When I use it, it means festive, carefree, happy - like it's supposed to. For the other, I use the word "homosexual".

I very rarely purchase a dvd. But I NEVER download a virtual copy. If it's not a physical disc of a movie in my collection, it's not in my collection. I do a lot of recording of movies - from TCM, and from discs that I rent, borrow, and even the few I've bought. There are some limitations to be accepted - the soundtrack is monaural, the picture is generally SP quality - sometimes better. Not talking BluRay or anything, but it's all totally acceptable to me. The discs I copy from give me a better visual than the TCM showings, so I try to record only the hardest to find movies from TCM. There's plenty of them, though - I'm busy all the time.

I've read 4 or 5 books about Brando. But I have read his.
