Watching the shark on steroids, when Jaws has become lame behold an extinct megalodon. Sure not watching that stupid owl movie. Everything else are reruns as usual. Another Towering Inferno - don't think so.Like I said, lame.

The catastrophic flop of the Spider-Man musical, I thought for sure that was going to kill Broadway. The whole thing is a joke these days. I'm actually glad to see they're actually doing decent stuff like 'Oklahoma!' and 'Kiss Me Kate'. But this propensity of Broadway to serve merely as an extension of Disney and Marvel blockbusters is atrocious.
But I can accept Spiderman hanging from his white web (rope)

I suppose you didn't hear about "War Horse" during its acclaimed run on Broadway several years ago. It's all about using one's imagination.
I thought that was something like...
"Top Secret - The Musical" could work.

Is this some kind of JOKE? LMREO, you can see the cables holding it up!
Wonder does it sing? Some idiot stated she screamed. Yeah I would too but it be screaming laughter.

Not so much the whole movie but this scene in "Who's Minding The Store" (1963) I literally got a headache from laughing after seeing that lion. Was a teenager at the time (the element of surprise).

Since we're looking back, had these for quite some time. The original site where these came from were huge TIF images. Enjoy.

I've owned both the old CED video disc system and LaserDisc. None of my discs were anything but pan and scan. That was probably okay, since our TV was a 19 inch CRT.
CED never offered widescreen. Glad I only had a few disc - rented many. That was my introduction to STEREO in 1983. My cable stunk and the picture quality left me in awe back then.
No matter how much one kept care of the disc / player, contamination of the "depth modulated" grooves could not be avoided.

Trivia question to all:
What do Battleship Potemkin (1925), The Untouchables (1987), and Beauty and the Beast (1991) have in common?
Well if it's the 2017 "Beauty and the Beast" they're all airing the week of March 31 - April 6 ...
Here are the feature and TV films airing the week of March 31 - April 6, 2019

I've seen "Battleship Potemkin" a couple of times. Movie is fair to good. Great filmography of the Odessa steps scene.

Right now (10am to 11:45am, April 3), TCM is showing All The Brothers Were Valiant in the wrong aspect ratio. This 1953 movie is obviously meant to be 4:3, but TCM has it stretched out to fill a wide screen. The picture is distorted and essentially unwatchable. (Six-footer Robert Taylor looks like he’s about the size of Mickey Rooney.)
i know this was probably just a mistake — someone probably thought, wrongly, that this movie was in a widescreen format. We all make mistakes. (At least, I hope this was just a mistake and not an indication that TCM now thinks that every movie should be in widescreen format, which would be a disaster.)
But I wish TCM would be more careful. The picture is so distorted that they may as well have not shown the movie at all. Very disappointing.
All HD TV's has a picture size selection, select 4:3.

I had a handful of LaserDisc movies years ago. They were all Pan & Scan. My player went to LaserDisc heaven.
Ever since TV went HD and digital, way too many broadcasters have trouble getting the image to fit the screen.
I still have a Laserdisc player, Sony MDP-650 that replaced the Realistic MD-1000. Can play both sides without removing disc and play's CLV like CAV (still / pause / frame advance), considered a high end model.
Have several disc with 2.35 widescreen with Dolby Surround / Digital audio i.e. "Jurassic Park" and "Twister". First format to introduce widescreen.

We need Muppet movie remake...NOT!

Great one liner in "Batman vs Superman"' speaking to Superman before flying off.
Batman...Tell me, do you bleed? You will.

That was my point. Until, as posted here, the late 40s, women even at the point of labor remained svelte and lissome. And the most elaborate and circumlocutory euphemisms were used to describe the condition. Even the phrase 'going to have a baby' is rare. It's my impression that even under the sanction of marriage, the censors at the Hays office were still uncomfortable with this most intimate aspect of human biology.
One of the best is "a cake in the oven".
In an episode of "Law and Order SVU", Ice-T said "a devil cake in the oven".
