  1. All right, Dargo, I bit and went to imdb to see if such a film actually existed. Still trying to get the hook out of my mouth ... No results found for "The Bowery Boys Meet Millard Fillmore's Ghost"
  2. Most would interpret this as a chance to laugh at Oliver Stone, I guess, although I seem to remember Stone himself made the point, "If you notice, I was right in the film."
  3. Edward Herrman made a whole side career out of playing FDR, also originating the role in the stage production and playing him in Eleanor & Franklin: the White House Years.
  4. And this from the Internet: Fiberglass fabrics use a much finer yarn than Polyester fabrics are made of wider their polyester counterpart, resulting in more diameter yarns, resulting in fewer yarns per square inch.
  5. This from Wikipedia: Polyester is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in their main chain.
  6. Interesting. I haven't read anything about his anti-Brit invasion stance. Sounds a bit Sinatra and his whole sour grapes about Elvis and the other early rock & rollers.
  7. I assume the intent was to show the breadth of his career.
  8. That's because we're so much more a litigious society than those days. Networks feel obligated to make such disclaimers in hopes they won't they won't get sued the next time a kid gets injured.
  9. I have 1-2-3 in my iTunes collection. It's definitely an earworm.
  10. Wow, was that Jeanne Crain pic removed by censors?
  11. It was a caricature, but I liked Donald Moffatt as LBJ in The Right Stuff. Also, Woody Harrelson was good in a more sympathetic, serious portrayal in Rob Reiner's LBJ.
  12. His Oscar-winning performance in The Untouchables, he also played an Irishman.
  13. Ha ha, I'm not much for the sports-style competition of which movie is "better" than another, especially in movies that are so radically different. But personally, I have a soft spot in my heart for The Muppet Movie, and if I had the DVDs of both sitting in front of me right now, I would probably choose it.
  14. I don't think there's any blood in Shane, but I think there's a scene where Jack Palance shoots a guy, and he flies back about a foot, one of the first indications in a Western of the impact of gun violence on an individual.
  15. Funny to see Quincy Jones accepting an Oscar for the Beatles. Not along ago, I believe he called Paul McCartney "the worst bass player of all time". Although he did work with Paul on the recording of "The Girl is Mine".
  16. I only watched one night of the Bond month. It must have been baseball season. It was a Roger Moore night. I watched The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. I don't recall hawking of the DVDs on that night.
  17. I have used that feature before, though not directly. I'd been on websites devoted to individual movies that provided an imdb link to such comparisons. I remember one for Picnic at Hanging Rock, for example. I'd forgotten about it, though. Thanks for the reminder!
  18. They were committed to showing a rerun of a Brad Bird essential, and they apparently couldn't deviate from that just because it was Halloween. So, they picked his selection that was closest to a horror film and then created an admittedly tenuous theme of nuclear nightmares. I was also a bit surprised, but they showed plenty of horror movies all month, as they always do in October.
  19. Right. Didn't mean to imply otherwise, but I see how it could be interpreted that way. Maybe I should have said "You never know what's going to be available on TCM".
  20. I'm glad I caught those films when they were available. You just never know with TCM. I swear there was a run where TCM didn't show My Fair Lady for like six years during the '10s after it used to seem to be on practically every weekend for about 10 years. I don't guess I'll ever know the story behind that, although it seems to have returned with some regularity in the last couple of years. And of course something happened with Angels with Dirty Faces, which used to a staple but hasn't aired for more than a decade, I think.
  21. Yup. Just found the soundtrack listing for Jaws 2. Thanks again!
