I just learned on ABC Nightly News that ABC is cancelling All My Children and One Life To Live. What does this have to do with movies? A lot of actors start out in Soap Operas. Some actors that came out of those two soaps are Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kim Delany, Lauren Holly, and Ryan Phillipe. Some actors who came out of soaps in general are Roy Schieder, Tommy Lee Jones, Ann Heche, Robin Wright Penn, Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin.

In the mid 90's Sidney Lumet Directed a film called *Critical Care* about end of life treatment. It was a comedy in the vein of Network, but it also had a vibe that was creepier than your average horror movie. This movie showed up on Comedy Central, (too new for TCM) but was barely released.

Unlike many great directors he ended with a great movie, *Before The Devil Knows Your Dead.*

I sold steaks to his mother. I was working a temp job for Omaha Steaks and the woman on on the phone said her last name was Maltin to complete the order information. I said "Oh like the film critic." She replied, "yes that's my son. He likes your steaks too." I'm pretty sure she was honest. I looked online on some food message boards and Omaha Steaks did not get the best reviews.

I think Debbie Reynolds had her own casino for awhile, but it went the way of the Liberache Musuem. This was before the economic downturn.

What I like about THIS is that unlike TCM nobody has any expectations of it. Most people see it as a supliment and nothing more.

Does anyone remember seeing Abbot& Costello films on their local TV stations years ago? Our local station in Detroit, (WXYZ Channel 7) crammed them into an hour slot.

Last year TCM showed *The Noose Hangs High.* THIS is showing a few A&C films in April.

What channel was it on? I didn't see it. These are the John Cassavettes movies I've seen: Shadows A Child Is Waiting, (which was taken out of his hands in the editing room by Producer Stanley Kramer) A Woman Under The Influence Opening Night Gloria Love Streams Big Trouble, (which he has a director credit, but was basically pick up and save work as a favor to his friend Peter Falk. It's not considered part of his cannon and wasn't mentioned in the movie.) A Woman Under The Influence, Opening Night, and Love Streams are very intense films.

I just finished watching *A Constant Forge: The Life And Art Of John Cassavettes*. It was informative but at 200 minutes could have been shorter by a least a hour. After awhile the point was made. It also doesn't help that I was waiting for a futon to be delivered at the time.

Got it. Jack Soo - Flower Drum Song Abe Vigoda - The Godfather Hal Linden - A New Life Ron Glass - Serenity

What do these four films have in commmon? Flower Drum Song (1961) The Godfather (1972) A New Life (1988)t Serenity (2005) Hint: the answer is related to another question I posted earlier.

There's been a couple of threads about THIS. It seems to have gotten mixed reviews.

The main Character wears an eyepatch?

Sandy Duncan

I just saw the documentary *Yoo Hoo Mrs Goldberg*. It was about the radio, TV, (and one movie) character Molly Goldberg and the woman who created her. My question is does anyone remember the Radio or TV show or seen the movie. It's not repeated add infenitum like I Love Lucy and I've never seen any of it. Maybe it's to dated or the kinescopes are missing.

Liz Taylor has died. The just had a ABC special report.

Elizabeth Taylor has died. They just had a ABC special report.

Well if it's the remake both star Keanu Reeves.

Got it. I'll hold off for awhile.

Okay, so I don't know the answer to Phroso question, but I'll throw my two cents in. What do these four films have in Common? A King In New York (1957) Gypsy Girl (1966) The Dead (1987) The Godfather 3 (1990)

Each was based on a foreign film or play?

Harry Morgan was in the Oxbow Incident Loretta Swit was in SOB David Ogden Stires was in Creator, (Peter O'Toole calls him an a**hole) Alan Alda was in Crimes And Misdameanors I could mentioned Cool Hand Luke, (Wayne Rogers), The Graduate, (Mike Farrel has a very small part), Cannonball Run 2, (Jamie Farr), or Kotch, (Larry Linville has a small part.)

Got it.

Okay, all four films contain actors who were on the same TV show.
