Awhile ago I posted that All My Children and One Life To Live are being cancelled. This week they're showing the last five episodes of AMC. Today is the last day. I've haven't watched it in a while but I'm watching the last five episodes. Some things are familiar, (Erica Kane of course) others aren't. Basically it seems liked a long series of goodbyes with a few cameos thrown in, (Lee Merrweather who looks really old, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Eva Larue, long time fan Carol Burnett, etc) I know this is off the topic of classic movies, but nobody nailed me for the last post so maybe I'll get lucky again. I feel kind of bad for the people who stuck with it for all these years.

Does anybody know their personal record of movies watched in one day? I think mine is seven? I figured out that the maximum amount one can watch is 28. That's if you define a film a 50 minutes and can find 28 50 minute films. I don't plan on doing that.

The Grapes Of Wrath.

This movie is defintly not TCM material, but I saw a cable movie called Ladies Of The House. In it Florence Henderson, (The Brady Bunch) was married to Lance Henrikson, (Millenium, Alien, Near Dark.) Pam Grier, (Jackie Brown, Coffy) was also in it.

"By the way, don't be surprised if animal right activists hate this movie as much as the vets, who care more for the deer" According to Wikipedia, (maybe it was another website) the deer shot in the first half of the movie was felled by a tranquilizer dart. Maybe they should go after the producers of Batman. A tiger was electrocuted in the first Catwoman episode. The problem is their dead.

After seeing the movie a few times I'm still not sure if the movie is pro or anti war. At the end of the day it's just about a group of people and a shattering expierence. The plot hole is purely mathmatical. Nick is engaged in an activity with 12% result of death for a long period of time. The more he plays the worse his odds. I'm not very good at math but Las Vegas works the same way. A succesful gambler has to know when to walk away.

Favorite movies of the 90's: Boogie Nights Dazed And Confused Close 2ND Short Cuts Favorite Movies of the Aughts (or Roughly the last 10 and a half years) Wrist Cutters Wendy And Lucy (I know the last last two are kind of obscure but are worth seeing.)

Does anyone remember seeing *The Deer Hunter* on TCM? I just saw it on Indeplex. My local pharmacist was surprised that I could watch it more than once. Even though it's a great movie it has one plot hole. How does a person survive more than two months being a professional Russian Roulette player? I know it's a movie not a math problem.

Currently I'm watching Jacqueline Susann's Once Is Not Enough on Flix. It stars a young and beautiful Deborah Raffin. While looking her up on Wikipedia it mentioned her mother is the actress Trudy Marshall. Has anyone out there heard of her or seen her in a movie?

I saw a copy of *Jew Suss* in a copy of the Chicago based Facets Catalog, www.facets.org. This was about ten years ago so I don't know if it'still there.

I always thought The Warriors made New York look more surreal and kind of mythic, (it was based on a Greek play, I should know which one I have an English degree.)

Jock Mahoney was Sally Field's stepfather. He also played a mining engineer on the very late Batman episode "I'll Be A Mummy's Uncle."

*Born To Win*. (sorry for previous post, something goofed with my computer.)

Born

Some films are like car accidents. You can't help but look no mater what.

Has anyone out there watched Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take 1? I'm about 50 minutes into it and I don't get it. I'm all for experimental cinema, but all this seems to be is people in a park making anti gay slurs and talking out of their buts. I kind of like films with a plot, not non stop rambling.

Mill Creek has kind of a cool Video Logo. It's a reel of film coming out of an old water mill. You can see it by going to You Tube and Typing In "Mill Creek Video Logo."

I bought one of their 4 DVD Public Domain animation sets for five dollars. I'm happy with it but I'm not a videophile, (my 13 inch TV will tell you that.)

I kind of liked Gilligan's Island. Remember the one where they almost got off the island.

I've seen Phinneas And Ferb. Phinneas is kind of disturbing to look at. His head is basically a triangle.

Sorry folks, According to the Comcast guide The Disney Channel is not going to The Aristocats at that time. It has not been rescheduled. I've got to learn to take that guide with grain of salt.

For those looking for old, (relatively) Disney films The Aristocats will The Disney Channel at 4 AM Eastern Time Friday Morning. I've never seen it. It's rare that that channel is going that deep into the Disney catalog.

I saw it too and liked it. I came into it know barely anything about it which was kind of neat. I thought Adrian Brody was supposed to be Salvatore Dali.

I saw Patty Duke on a poster in a Social Security Office, (she turns 65 this year) next to George Sulu Takei. Even though she was wearing a Blue Original Star Trek shirt, I'm pretty sure she wasn't on that show. Even stranger I got through my business in less than 15 minutes, (go early.)

The Hallmark Movie Channel occasionaly show a live action Disney movie. I saw The Happiest Millionaire there a couple of years ago, (however they have comercials.)
