I find her a welcome addition to: TCM. She is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about a range of movies. I feel this is most important criteria. I believe she embraces spirit of: TCM fan. I doubt that expense was factor in chosing her rather than an actor. Possibility of scheduling conflicts was most likely main factor. Actors are often in remote locations for weeks while making a movie and introductions must be filmed on regular schedule. I do not understand those who do not approve of her based on screen presence. Would you object to: S. Hawking presenting science issues because his facial expressions are not animated? Would you object to: Dr. R. Westheimer speaking of intimate matters because she is not hot babe? I hope that she finds a nice home at: TCM and is with us for many long years.

I believe it is superior in many ways to: Invadeurs From Marus which is: French movie concerning mercenaries from village in Upper Galilee.

I often think to include: USA movies when looking through list of titles because they were foreign movies when I first watched them. I am sure none would complain of lists of movies from: Great Britain.

From: TCM Programming article from first airing: "Luckily Return of the Magnificent Seven (1966), which is also known as Return of the Seven, could also boast the return of another vital element from the original ­ composer Elmer Bernstein, whose score for the classic western is built around one of the most famous and recognizable musical themes in movie history."

I believe that no one should ever apologize for knowing: Studio Ghibli well and loving them. I feel they are the most dynamic full-length animation studio of present day. I am sorry that I did not see: My Neighbor Totoro (1988) is your list. That is my favorite: Hayao Miyazaki movie. Castle in the Sky (1986) and: Whisper of the Heart (1995) tie for second place as: my favorite: Studio Ghibli movie.

Return of the Seven (1966) is the title of first theatrical release in: USA. Return of the Magnificent Seven (1966) is the official English title for: Worldwide/International release in English. A Volta dos Sete Homens (1966) is the title of: Portuguese-dubbed first theatrical release in: Brazil. A Volta dos Sete Magníficos (1966) is the title of: Portuguese-dubbed second theatrical release in: Brazil. O Regresso dos 7 Magníficos (1966) is the title of: Portuguese-dubbed first theatrical release in: Portugal. El regreso de los siete magníficos (1966) is the title of: Spanish-dubbed first theatrical release in: Mexico. Die Rückkehr der glorreichen Sieben (1966) is the title of: German-dubbed first theatrical release in: Germany. Завръщането на великолепната седморка (1966) is the title of: Bulgarian-dubbed first theatrical release in: Bulgaria. All are officially correct titles for the movie.

You may wish to try mixing it with sour cream. The casein in dairy products bind with pepper's capsaicin which is what burns the tongue. You retain the flavor and have the added treat of the sour cream!

I hope that you will not be offended if I state categorically that Chipotle Sauce is for simpering, weak-kneed old maids. You would do better to buy dried chipotle peppers and soak them overnight in good vodka and then eat them with sour cream and generous sprinkling of dill. They are no hotter than jalapeños. Sour cream further attenuates the heat as all dairy products do. The dill adds a freshness which contrasts nicely with the smoky flavor.

I agree with all my heart that this would make an excellent movie!

I thank you for posting that as I wish it shared widely but I have posted it to the point of boring people. I love it very dearly. I feel it represents sublime innocence.

I do hope that you enjoyed it. I love the way they captured the spirit of the plight of the girls. The song has become one of my favorites. The entire episode: Ragazzo can be watched at: I would love very much for this to be made into full-length, live-action movie. I understand casting would be extremely difficult because it requires an active young girl with charmingly innocent and simple voice.

I am very sorry to have to inform you that I feel that much more than your powers of deduction are fading. It is obvious that your taste is degenerated significantly also if you believe there could be dipping sauce which could be adequate substitute for: ice-cold sour cream and: freshly-milled dill.

I hesitate to speak of this work which I believe would make a wonderful movie. I do so only because this thread seems to being nearly moribund and so I am not robbing attention from other posters. The hesitation is because the work is a type of book but is not traditional novel. It is also that title and genre will make many people shun the work because their preconception is that it will hold little of interest for them. The work is: Gansuringa Garu by: Yu Aida. I will now proceed to alienate most who are reading this by stating that it is a: manga. This is a type of: Japanese graphic novel. Most anime is based on: mangas. The portion which I believe would make wonderful movie is: Chapter Two which is titled: Love Thy Neighbor. The monologue opening and closing are so very eloquent that they evoke deep sense of understanding, pity and hope. This is the story of a girl who was born in a hospital and never left it because of health matters. She was a kind, intelligent and curious child growing up in a hospital bed. Then she was chosen for government medical research project. Her health problems were all solved but she must live with other girls like her because process is experimental, expensive and dangerous and so must be kept secret until problems are solved. She speaks in very moving terms of the wonder of having a body which works. A television series was made of the work. This Chapter became: Episode Three and is titled: Ragazzo. I feel the series captured excellently the spirit of the work. I love in particular the opening because it demonstrates so very well the type of life these girls must live. The opening can be seen at: I hope that all will note with special interest first sixteen seconds of this clip. It shows perfectly how the girl is a shadowy reflection of herself. I am sure that nearly all who might read this are now completely: turned off because it is: Japanese anime and they have seen the title in: English and know it could not possibly be to their taste and so I will now shut up and fade back into woodwork.

I do refer to him. It often seems to me that to be: 'an entire man' is not high praise. I am reminded of: A Woman's Prayer I pray for: Wisdom to understand my man. Love to forgive him and; Patience for his moods. Because if I pray for Strength I'll just beat him to death.

I thank you for your kind words. I am sorry to say that I do not know what happened to your thread. It was fine when I saw it and then it was locked and with only a very few posts which I had not seen. I suspect: Moderator deleted all posts which made the thread inappropriate. I believe it had reached: agree-to-disagree stage and so was destined to slowly drop off the front page. It is unfortunate if it became stage for people who make personal attacks.

I know I truly should not post this but your comment reminded me so strongly of it that I believe that posting it is the only method to purge it from my brain: Two humpback whales were minding their own business when a whaling ship came past. "We should teach them a lesson," said one whale. "I am sure that if we swam as fast as we can and ram it together then we could put a hole in its side. Then we could kill the murdering sailors after they abandon the ship." The other whale considered it for a while and then said: "I suppose we should make the ship go down but I will not swallow the seamen!"

I thank you very much for your kind words. It gasts my flabber that you would consider one of my posts worthy to have further attention drawn to it!. I know very much my limitations re: writing in English. I know that my posts often seem to have been written by backwards third-grader. I believe that majority of my writing in posts is technically correct as I did not develop lazy habits which many acquire in their native language but to be: technically correct is often opposite of being interesting to read. I believe it is only fair that it is known that the paragraph which you cited is a cheat. I did not create it for that post and the sentence structures are not mine: My insignificant one-quarter is an author and he pushes me to write more than is strictly necessary in daily life in hopes that I will improve. I have for that reason been writing of certain incidents in my life. I wrote that paragraph in the section concerning a time when I was beset by troubles on several fronts. I copied it into my post from there. I felt that scene did need to be more evocative than my normal writing and so I took one of my favorite passages from my husband's writing and adapted it by word substitution. His paragraph was of a dragon hatchling exploring its nest. My version is as faithful to his sentence structures as word choice allows. I would like to see: Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore, Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor and: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath adapted into movies.

TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2016 The Bishop Misbehaves (1933)

The short one is: Steve Reeves who appeared mostly in: Italian-made movies.

I am very sorry for the confusion. I wished to check on: IMDB.com to see if it was the movie I believed it to be. I typed the original name in the search. I then used: copy-paste to simplify placing it in textbox here. It had escaped my thoughts to use: English title here.

MONDAY, MAY 16, 2016 Bell Book and Candle (1958) Le Plaisir (1952) Spirits of the Dead (1968)

I thank you for your kind words. It makes me very happy that you enjoyed them!

TikiSoo stated: "If a poster can't articulate how a film strikes them, or backs up their thoughts or impressions with any explanation, then a list is useless." That classifies all lists I made for: 'favorite movies of' decades or genres threads as useless and by that then my opinions and tastes are worthless. I do not feel that was attitude or intent of: MissWonderly when she created this thread. I believe she meant to bring to light how articulation accompanying lists could make lists more useful and interesting to people such as herself. I did not see in her post an overt attack on lists made by those of us who are not particularly articulate.

Spend the waning hours of a crisp fall day gathering decades-old driftwood and piling it for bonfire on the beach. Row out to a buoy and haul up the crab pot and leave bottle of vodka inside as exchange. Sit under perfectly clear sky with tub of ice-cold sour cream and bag of fresh dill. Poke end of crab leg into fire to toast it. Dip it in sour cream. Sprinkle dill. Nibble. Break off a bit more of the shell. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat as night passes by. In no language can I articulate why that it as near to heaven as I am likely to ever be. If that were the number one item in my list of greatest memories: A person who has as number one in their list of greatest memories the exhilaration of climbing a chimney in the mountains will likely pay scant attention to other items in my list because there is doubt we like many of the same things. A different person might have as number one in their list the time they played truant and bought a pie with their pocket money and sat in a tree to eat it all. That person will likely feel connection to my list of greatest memories and I will likely feel connection to other items in their list. I feel it is likely also to see items in each others' list as ideas for making new memories. I agree that: 'bald' list inserted into discussion thread has little meaning. I feel that such list in thread of lists needs little or no preening because comparison of lists is important aspect. I must admit that I am now beginning to sense a form of snobbery in this thread. Those of use who are not articulate or do not at all times analyze why we love a movie are being portrayed as people whose opinions, tastes and preferences do not matter.
