I had never heard of THE WOMAN ON PIER 13 until today. Not a bad noir.

Does anybody know what has happened to Doris Day music on this site?
https://www.radionomy.com/en/radio/ddmagic
I guess listening to Day music 24/7 for free was too good to be true!
Take a break from Doris and listen to some acid rock. My playlist is in the "Deadhead": thread in off-topics. Terry Melcher would have loved this playlist.

Gregory Peck played writer Ambrose Bierce in 1989's "OLD ****" with Jane Fonda.
EDIT: You've got to be friggin' kidding me. Otto Sensor doesn't like 'G-R-I-N-G-O' even though it's the movie's TITLE.
At least "friggin" got through.

Though I like American-made blue collar films, I've always really enjoyed the British take on such things, Speedracer.
A film I admire is "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" from the early 1960's by Karel Reisz and starring Albert Finney.
It is nice to see the British "angry young man" as they were then known, of the time period featured in films.
I might admire these films films a lot more if I could pick up all the dialogue with the heavy British accents.

Is this a high crime area?
No, but Center City Philly is a relatively small concentrated area. It is close to some of the bad neighborhoods, and is easily accessible by public transit.

I'm sure he looked like a suspicious character (LOL).....
At Whole Foods, two of their many security guards harassed me. Both of them disappeared very quickly. I did not say anything to the manager. Their style was all wrong, and I'm sure it was noticed..
-
LMREO. Threatened to take your biz elsewhere??
I'm sure I'm not the only one who had been harassed. But my incident took place, and within two weeks, there were no more security guards.

Is the film BACK TO THE FUTURE?
Well?

Since when do Trader Joe's have newsstands???
(...oh, wait...right next to the Two Buck Chuck wine selection, right?!)
I believe that my Trader Joe's is no longer using security guards.The final incident with me, which I reported to the manager, may have gone into the decision.

Lana Turner convinced John Garfield to help her kill her husband in The Postman Always Rings Twice.
Garfield was in FOUR DAUGHTERS with Priscilla Lane

The 1990's was the last really good era for rock and pop output. Much better than the 80's had been.
Since the millennium, music has become extremely hook-less overall.
I respectfully, OK, disrespectfully, disagree. "80s alternative was much better than '90s alternative.

There is a new Olivia de Havilland interview that will be in this month's issue of Vanity Fair. For those who don't want to purchase the magazine, here is the article:
http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/04/olivia-de-havilland-joan-fontaine-sibling-rivalry
There is a very bittersweet anecdote about a reunion between de Havilland and nine-time screen paramour, Errol Flynn, in 1957.
Then of course, there's the story of her famous rivalry with sister Joan Fontaine.
Another alternative to purchasing is reading the whole article at the newsstand. As long as there's no security guard.........

Hmm, "video not available." Will have a gander on YouTube. I do remember the big Oasis/Blur feud, or maybe it was a mock feud. Oasis had a good sound, but weren't the brothers often involved in dust-ups? Somehow I missed a lot of music from that era, and need to catch up.
I liked very little in '90s rock, except for U2's stuff and some isolated songs by such groups as Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Offspring........ British or otherwise.

Joan Crawford stole NORMA SHEARER's husband in The Women.
Shearer was in HER CARDBOARD LOVER with Robert Taylor

Well, who would be the most likely rock star to pass out on stage? It happened during the "psychedelic era"
OK. At the festival at Isle of Wight, the Airplane was doing "Plastic Fantastic Lover", when Jim Morrison appeared on stage, spinning like a top, and finally collapsed. When the Doors went into their set, Ray Manzarek had to do the lead vocals.
Open thread.

Fairly big fan, especially of his albums from the 1980s.
Prince was very prolific, putting out about one album
per year for the last 38 years. I sort of slacked off in
the early 1990s. I did buy Art Official Age from 2014.
It was good, but not up to the standards of 1999 or
Purple Rain. He put out two albums in 2015. There
has been a lot more Prince music available on YT
since his demise. Some has lasted and some has already
been yanked. I've got the CDs, so I'm okay.
Parliament and Funkadelic. Similar personnel, but
separate record releases. George Clinton was the
commander of both motherships.
I've had to go through 3 all_Prince spinning classes in the past week, and I reaffirmed that I am not a big fan.
-
You be one big Prince fan, Vautrin. I remember you used to often try to post his stuff here, only to be given the message that it was "not available". Ironically, it seems that since his death, a lot more of his music is now available to share. Too bad it seemed to take his death to make this happen.
You're just one big funk fan, aren't you? I remember, I didn't know that much about Parliament til you started posting them (him?) here. And I is glad you did.
Please join the discussions on the Deadhead thread in "Off-Topic" threads. They are right up your alley.

DGF, I think I heard this story in an interview within the last year, but I can't recall who is was.

My point about the weirdness of that day was that the only time I ever heard my friend say she thought she looked like Loren was followed, literally within minutes, by a complete stranger making the same statement about her.
And I've never heard anyone else since then make the comparison. By the way, whether or not my friend looks like Loren (I can now see a superficial resemblance around the eyes and cheekbones), she still gets constant compliments about her looks.
I doubt whether my acquaintance does.

Smarmy humor and negative comments pervades a lot of threads, but in this case, they were directed at TCM.
