  1. Jerry Springer Then.. Today... Seems this was prophecy. Now they could make a great phenakistoscope disc...
  2. Not so much as great but in the movie "Annie" (1982).... Grace Farrell has to be the most naive person ever! Grace.... I never realized how many dishonest people there are in New York. Note: I only turned to TCM to see if the movie is presented in widescreen. Already have the 2.35:1 format on Laserdisc.
  3. I think you are referring to Self Winding Clocks. The one I worked on, the mechanism was patented in 1898. (it was engraved on it) It used a large dry cell battery to wind the clock, ticking is quite notable. It ran slightly fast so it can be synchronized once a day by telephone cable. Businesses had to pay a subscription service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_Winding_Clock_Company The model I worked on. Had to adjust the pendulum ever so slightly to get real time accuracy because remote sync was no longer available. Also provided a low voltage power supply. Fond memory of these batteries from my elementary school years but were the standard carbon variety.
  4. The scene at the B&O bridge, there were no 50 foot Hydra cushion boxcars either. At night the modern skyline sticks out like a sore thumb.
  5. Yeller like some other dogs must had kept people up in the middle of the night yelling!
  6. "Pillow Talk" (1959), no one talked to a pillow nor did any pillows communicate to each other.. Pillow above must be his dream date come true.
  7. Just a little blunder, in the movie "Black Fury" (1935) during the hospital scene. An ELECTRIC wall clock doesn't tick...tick...tick...tick..
  8. "Black Fury" (1935) never heard of this coal miners movie before, LOVED IT! Had a happy ending. Nice to see drama about a coal miners worries & woes that didn't revolved around global warming.
  9. Recorded it, will watch it later.
  10. A studio is named after one of the animation toys founded by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas.
  11. Re: Youtube narrator.....Witchcraft.
  12. Forerunner of Zoetrope which lead to motion pictures. Google is celebrating it's inventor, Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau 218th Birthday.
  13. Referring to the 2 M's. Jay Leno use to point out be careful where one stands when taking photos or the placement of such.
  14. Set Them Free – It’s National No Bra Day! reasons why you should celebrate http://livefmghana.com/2016/10/13/set-free-national-no-bra-day-reasons-celebrate/ Cancer will be the last thing on any guy's mind.
  15. Newsmax https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/stand-up-trump-donald-trump/2018/11/01/id/888922/ They claim you will bust a gut laughing.
  16. Have a feeling this thread will eventually wind up there.
  17. Brendan Gleeson looks like an Obi-Wan Kenobi in some Star Wars story. This is how Tom Hanks would look if he put on those 50 pounds.
