If it is successful, maybe others will soon follow suit and the competition can bring the price down a bit. No, although they do make a "Kosher for Passover" version of their main cola drink once a year. The one I referred to is their main rival, which just came out with a version of their main drink called "throwback", which is essentially a cola drink with sugar instead of HFCS.

Macao

Robert Benchley was in The Stork Club (1945) with Barry Fitzgerald

Carroll, Nancy (Theme of tonight's schedule)

Manolo Fabregas was in The Candy Man (1969) with George Sanders (I got to meet Fabregas once and he was an incredibly nice man, a true gentleman - so what if only two of his film credits are U.S. productions?)

Charade (chicken or liverwurst?) nw: pastrami

Have a cola on me, hamradio.

Shirley MacLaine was in Two Mules for Sister Sara with Manolo Fabregas

William Demarest. Bette Davis or Betty Page?

Well I could use a good old-fashioned snack myself right about now.

In addition to Fred's suggestions, I'd recommend the original Scarface with Paul Muni, Little Caesar with Edward G. Robinson, and The Public Enemy with James Cagney, all from the early 30s.

George Cukor The Blue Bird or The Blue Dahlia ?

Annie Get Your Gun Stanley Donen or Vincente Minnelli?

Jane Russell was in Macao with Robert Mitchum :x

For some strange reason, playing mentally-challenged characters always seems to give actors an edge with the Academy.

Joan Fontaine was in Jane Eyre with Agnes Moorehead

Sometimes, I'd like to think that nostalgia for the past, at least for some of us, is not limited to the classic movies and actors and directors of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Maybe for some of us it also extends to the snacks we may sometimes enjoy with our movies. The reason I bring it up is because I have recently learned that a major soda manufacturer is bringing back something it hadn't used _for decades_ in this country: sugar. Yup, sugar, as opposed to the nefarious-sounding contraption known as High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) that has been used since the early 80s to sweeten almost all commercial drinks. (Apparently, most other countries around the world still use sugar). I remember with fondness the days when cola drinks were actually sweetened with sugar. And now, the good old days are here again (if you know where to look). There is just no comparison, in terms of both taste and aftertaste: sugar beats HFCS any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Most people I know find the aftertaste of HFCS to be rather... yucky. (Needless to say, whether it's sugar or HFCS, moderation is still a very good idea) So, for what it's worth, I'm glad this major bottler has brought back the sugar. Now I'll just go and get the popcorn.

There's a cool article on the new "Trek" in this Sunday's New York Times (includes very minor spoilers): http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/movies/26itzk.html

The Godfather, Part II nw: trepidation

The Killing

Very different women. next: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

That is the right movie, visualfeast, congrats.

Sorry, it's not Foreign Intrigue Kid.
