  1. Looks more like a Danny Bonaduce doll. (check your PM)
  2. Wouldn't be the first time movies shared the same title. Got to be a real bummer for everyone involved with the "Judy" movie when the "Child's Play" reboot did 4 times better at the box office.
  3. Should retitled it "Under The Rainbow" before releasing to video.
  4. Here's a site that sells rare, hard to find movies, shorts, etc. https://www.oldies.com/collection-view/Alpha-Video-DVDs.html
  5. Update...HE LIVES! Victor Newman Yeah like everything else that's fake, news, documentaries, now death.
  6. Spammers got bored at the computer, either found a date or OD'ed. Both works for me.
  7. Sci fi seems to facing facts about finding ET - there are none. Early movies like Star Trek and Star Wars - life galore. Then in the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" we are only a handful or planets in the cosmos that can support life. Now with the "Ad Astra" ending...(From wiki) The data retrieved from the base suggests humans are the only intelligent life in the universe.
  8. Why it pays to have a region free player or one that can be "hacked". Was able to download the region change software for my JVC DR-MV150 recorder to change it's Region 1 to 0. Can now play any foreign DVD. This is a region free player https://www.amazon.com/Sony-BDP-S3500-100-240-European-Adapter/dp/B017MQ3IHG
  9. I buy high quality VHS machines, not cheap junk. Take care of them but the video head does eventually wears out. My tapes goes back to the mid 1980's and still plays great, only minor deterioration. A few did bind in the machine but the key is not to panic. Removed the cover and carefully untangle it, remove the tape and survey the damage. If it's bad, cut the damage section and splice. Will only see a minute of drop out. Best to buy dedicated units not incorporated into the television itself. My last VHS only machine (no DVD) was the JVC S9800U Super VHS with TBC. It' a high end model with digital video correction, REAL frame by frame advance - pause / still (do not see any interference). In 2001 it was $550.00 from Crutchfield. It featured stereo audio level meters. (Left in the display)
  10. If you notice the borders of the lobby card, it simply has darken with age. Tint is normal. By the way the film is in B&W. I didn't know Guy Kibbee could star in competing studio films that were made the same year. Captain January is also 1936 - 20th Century Fox and Captain's Kid - Warner Brothers.
  11. I remember the guy with a Laserdisc looking under Jessica's skirt to see if she's wearing underwear. He needs to find a date BAD!
  12. Try looking for VHS versions! Warned about tossing out those machines. Here are 3 on the list! Stop being so trendy with DVD! May be able to dub over some . https://www.amazon.com/Little-Darlings-VHS-Tatum-ONeal/dp/630021396X There are combo units on the market. Recorders (what's left) are a bit expensive. Grab one while you still can!
  13. "The Captain's Kid" (1936) is unavailable. TCM has shown it and "The Story of Temple Drake" which I have on DVD-R.
  14. So happens the Science Fair transistor radio has a leather carrying case.
  15. If you are referring to those plastic cabinet replicas, it has the same cheap circuit with a ferrite rod antenna There were CD's during the 1930's?
  16. I received as a gift an Admiral AM/FM/Cassette in 1969. Still can't find a photo of it. Must had been one rare bird. One of the most beautiful radio's Zenith ever made, D7000 Transoceanic. Was too expensive for me at the time.
  17. Just hit Edit on your OP, you can fix the typo in the thread title well as the post. People has been changing their titles causing confusion sometimes. Roger Rabbit has not been forgotten.
  18. Noticed the total transistor complement is 9 by which the FM section will use 1/4 of them. I built an AM (alone) which uses 8 transistors. Best little portable I ever had!
  19. Those older floor radios had such great reception is because of the large AM loop antenna glued to the radio back cover. The large surface area gathered more of the signal. Even table top units had a much better antenna than the crappy rod antennas one see's in more modern radios. Does your radio have a Magic Eye tuning indicator? Even by today's standards, that is the neatest, coolest thing! I have 4 test equipment which uses them.
  20. Another cop in a Humphrey Bogart film is James Aloysius O'Malley in "The Great O'Malley" (1937). Oh he was hard nose - to the most ridiculous petty offenses (the awning is to low ) He was so busy enforcing such petty crimes he was oblivious to the larger one's. Loud muffler was more important than armed robbery.
