    h6. "Kazan and Schulberg saw the danger of television in 1957 (?In television,? says a Roger Ailes-like character in the film, ?we have the greatest instrument of mass persuasion in the history of the world?). Fifty-two years later, there?s a new generation of men armed with the phony authenticity of Larry ?Lonesome? Rhodes."

    not a network-like character

    Oh I thought he was targeting Jon Stewart in all this.

    > I enjoyed *A Matter of Life and Death*. certainly not among their very best but beautiful and moving with a, I agree, very touching performance by Ms. Jones (one of my favorites). I finally got around to seeing *A Matter of Life and Death* recently and, wow, what a great movie. speaking of Red Shoes, I am delighted that the Belcourt in Nashville is going to be screening it January 8-12. . . .

    I must say that *Colonel Blimp* was never my cup of tea trying to watch it at home. Until I saw it at a screening. The same can be said for *A Matter of Life and Death*

    Not outwardly

  5. The last film a friend transferred on DVD for me was Image Size: 625 x 480. I'm going to be at his house and I wanted to know what to look for in his set up. I know he uses DirectTV DVR and then burns on DVD in 2.5 hour mode. He might sometimes goes in the next mode, which he calls 4 hour mode. I can't tell if 625 is worst than 640 from a set top box on TV.

    Of course you hate him. He loves the troops and promotes them any time he can.

    It's all beneath him. I'm sure he grew up in Beverly Hills and believe me he looks down his noise at Osborne.

    > It might not be considered a relatively lesser film by Powell & Pressburger, but it is definitely well-filmed and very well acted, with Jennifer being especially touching here. The lovely romantic triangle was shot in glorious Technicolor, and apparently on authentic rural locations in the UK.

    Good film. Caught it at a theater about 3 years ago, seeing it for the first time.
