There is a very interesting train in: Spirited Away (2001). A train crash is in: The Ghost Train (1941). I believe it is reuse of scene from: The Ghost Train (1931).

I am bumping this to remind all that this movie airs tonight. I hope you enjoy it.

Do imaginary trains count? Clickety-Clack (1970) is known also as: Dodes'ka-den (1970).

This movie airs: Monday, September 14, 2015 at 2:45 A.M. which is actually Tuesday morning. I feel that this movie does not receive the recognition which it deserves. Neither Alan King nor Ali MacGraw are to my taste. I believe this is the sole movie in which I like either one and they are both quite wonderful in their roles. I feel this movie is exceptionally of its period. It seems to me a more reliable document of life in this social strata in late 1970s America than any documentary. It is a simple tale of a woman and her lover and his wife and her other lover. It has moments which are quite touching and other moments which are quite hilarious. One particular scene was so appropriate to character and plot that it drew me in so deeply that I shouted: "hit him again" to cheer her on. It airs at an odd time but it well worth recording. I hope that all enjoy it.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 Just Tell Me What You Want (1980)

I have completed an evening for each of the four Challenges and: Star of The Month. I have one other evening which is very tentative. My difficulty now is landing on concept for days. I like to have them to be part of an overall theme. I am sad to say that when I checked inventory: Great Ideas = 0 Good Ideas = 0 Fair Ideas = 0 Average Ideas = 0 Poor Ideas = 32 Really, really bad ideas = 3,618

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2015 Triple Cross (1966)

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 Murder on a Bridle Path (1936) Cat People (1942)

I believe he might prefer movies such as: Pumping Iron (1977) or: Getting Physical (1984) or other such movies concerning body builders.

I must wonder what is meant by movie career being "eclipsed" by television work. I am considering an actress with more than thirty movie credits and nomination for Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a movie career which existed for two decades. I believe that most people who would see a photograph of her now would instantly recognize her for a television role which existed for two years. Her television role made her an icon but her movie career prior to that brought in much more money and critical acclaim. I am considering also an actor who was primarily stunt man in movies. His speaking roles were few and he did not seek more. He became full-fledged actor in television series. I must wonder also if they qualify because I believe that nearly all who saw photograph of either would instantly recognize them for their roles but very few would know their name.

That is Yiddish. It means a person with integrity. A mensch is a person who will do the right thing even at great personal loss.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 07, 2015 Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) Thx 1138 (1971) The Tin Drum (1979)

I believe not but many noble matchsticks were sacrificed in the series of movies.

I have now identified the movies: the office in: The Saint in New York (1938) with: Louis Hayward is the same office as in: The Saint's Double Trouble (1940) with: George Sanders. The difference in that a curtain hangs in the first one where there is a bookshelf in the second. The supposed window behind the curtain is not shown. Both movies were made by RKO and so it may be interesting to keep this in mind when watching other RKO movies of that period to see how many times the set was used.

I do now recall that the set depicting the office in: The Saint's Double Trouble (1940) was used in a The Saint movie made more than a year earlier or later and appeared in a different movie of the same genre.

It is not as perceptive as other examples given but the credits for: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) contain the notice: "No Dragons Were Harmed in the Making of this Movie." I know I had watched the movie several times before seeing that.

The thing which "made me want to scream" about the ending of: Romantic Comedy (1983) was the length of time required for the obvious to happen. They should have at least had an affair in second reel. I am surprised that this movie is nearly invisible in polls. That may be because it is gentle comedy. Roger Ebert said of it: "Not a whole heck of a lot happens in "Romantic Comedy," but it happens so charmingly, and with such quick spirit and wit, that it's enough." It misses the standard formula in that they to an extent fall in love at first sight. Unfortunate situation is that they meet for the first time on the day that he is marrying a socially prominent woman. They bury their feelings in humor during their long working relationship: Phoebe: Do you think someone could fall in love that fast? Jason: Of course. It happened to me once. I was at the Tony awards two years ago, I saw this woman from the back. She was wearing a blue taffeta dress, and she had gleaming black hair, cascading over creamy white shoulders. I fell instantly in love. then she turned 'round and it was you.

I do not know if it is stated that Lee Marvin as: Kid Shelleen and: Tim Strawn were twins or brothers only in: Cat Ballou (1965).

I have learned of recent that: bunny boiler is accepted term for a person who is capable of calm evil as revenge. It derives from character played by: Glen Close in: Fatal Attraction (1987). Louis Hayward played good and corrupt twins in: The Man in the Iron Mask (1939)

I must recommend that you find and watch: 5 Fingers (1952). He portrays a faithful butler who discharges his duties with great finesse, alacrity and stoicism in the best tradition of British butlers. It is during WWII and his master is the British Ambassador to Turkey. The only possible claim to any moral ambiguity in this movie is that he manages to find snippets of time between his duties to photograph secret military documents in his master's safe and sell them to Germans.

I agree completely. I feel that verbing weirds language.

You must keep eating. Meat pies are excellent but any protein in consistent quantities will work. Maintaining water level is important and so you must remember that 80-Proof is your friend but 100-Proof may not be so nice.

I must wonder how long any one of us could keep up if we were to go clubbing with Nick and Nora Charles.

I love the atmosphere of: The Zodiac Club in: Bell Book and Candle (1958).
