You seem to have some sort of voice fetish. You must run up quite a bill from calling all those 900 numbers, eh?

One study by a major network news department in the late '60's arrived at the same conclusion when they tried recreating the assassination from the same window at the book depository and with the same rifle used by a marine marksman with a higher ranking than Oswald( who fellow marines at the time claimed couldn't hit his foot using a scope). and it was found that neither the marine or the rifle was capable of getting off three shots at the same speed and accuracy that Oswald was claimed to have done.
One thing I question is why, in the mid '90's, was there such a surge in the insistence on claiming and proving Oswald was the lone assassin when people in general quit really caring or even thinking about the assassination. ABC even had a technician who claimed he used a computer to prove Oswald was the lone assassin, but my daughter(a computer tech too) said it wouldn't be hard to have a computer prove that ELMER FUDD was the lone Kennedy assassin.

I wouldn't call it reverse racism
I wouldn't either since there's only ONE race involved in any of this. The HUMAN RACE!!

Sure. And who can blame us? Not many people an resist any tale of a dog and his boy!

Actually here James, for some reason which I've never been able to quite put my finger on, Scott Brady has always reminded me of Lawrence Tierney.
And maybe ALSO surprisingly, this same sort'a thing always happens with me between Dana Andrews and Steve Forrest, between George Sanders and Tom Conway, AND between Peter Graves and James Arness.
(...I know, go figure, huh)
Oddly too, I notice more of a slight( mind you) resemblance to that shot of Brady and ROD TAYLOR. But maybe it's more the hair........? and besides,
Once finding out their connection, I STILL can't see any family resemblance between Steve Forrest and Dana Andrews. But then many couldn't see any resemblance between me and MY brother. I once mentioned that to my Mother and asked for some opinion of it and she merely said, "Watch your STEP!"

Like your post here Sepia, and in return I understand what you're saying, too.
(...but it also sounds to me as if you were/are splitting as many semantic hairs as were your aforementioned black activists)
Could be, but dig----
Most will say blacks can't be racist because they don't have the leverage of "power" which as a Detroiter I find a useless argument for these parts as for the last forty years Detroit had had black mayors, black DAs and an 80% black municipal employee rate and an 80% black police and fire department. And an almost 100% black city council. How anyone who's black here can make the claim that they're suffering from "systemic racism" at the city's hand is ridiculous.

Seems I recall many people coming out of the woodwork( like cockroaches) after both JFK and RFK were long dead claiming --1. They slept with one or the other or both
2. Either Bobby or both he and brother John had Monroe murdered to keep her quiet.
And other claims that were handily made long past the time either of them could be available for comment or to be able to defend the charges against them. I don't see how anybody with half a brain can waste good time on all that sensationalist crap.

Shank Asu, while I agree absolutely, positively and UNEQUIVOCALLY agree with the thought you expressed in this first part of your above posting...
...AND which was a point that I actually brought up a few months back when our "woke" TCM hosts presented their opinions on the film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and when THEY failed to mention ANYTHING at all about the out-and-out racist views which were expressed in THAT film by Sidney Poitier's father charcter.
Silly Dargo..... ANY black activist will tell you....
There's NO SUCH THING as a "black racist".
Try telling them otherwise and they'll argue semantics with you. I myself distinguish a difference between a "racist" and a "bigot". And by my reckoning, I understand what you're saying, but to me it would be more fitting to claim Roy Glenn's character as making BIGOTED views. Which I've long felt he clearly was doing.

Ok.. Call me Stupid and Blind (but Please. Dont Call Me Madam. lol); but Philip Silvers Is In Singin' In the Rain ? ??? "Where", Please. ?
Maybe i myself need to revisit that Musical Again, if nothing else to find out where he's "hiding' ..
Ach! Well....
You should call ME stupid instead.
Probably did get my Kelly flicks confused.
And according to WIKI Hagen left "Make room for Daddy" claiming she was dissatisfied with the role. But, when seeing old reruns of the show with her in it I never noticed any dissatisfaction on her part. And with her winning three Emmys for that role, it's hard to reckon what she found dissatisfying.

Ah HA! So THIS explains that "confused" emoji response you just gave me today in that earlier post of mine and where I went on that tear about how I'm sick and tired of people comin' on here and grippin' about the hosts supplying what is in REALITY is more a case of historical context, EH Shank?!
So then I take it comments about their VOICES is still alright then, RIGHT?!
(...and 'cause ya know, both Ben AND Alicia DO kind'a talk through their noses, don't YA?!!!)
LOL
I still disagree with that. Alicia sounds so "stopped up" her voice sounds like she's smoked a "fatty" before camera time( but I say that because smoking rope always had that nose clogging effect on me.
)
And had you been listening(if you watched it yesterday) during the trial segment of NOTORIOUS LANDLADY you'd have noticed ALL them Brits sounded in need of

I remember FORT APACHE, THE BRONX. One of those downbeat-style cop movies that shows various parts of NYC as a wasteland of abandoned buildings, dirty surroundings and crime. I've got an aging Vestron Video of this movie. (And whatever happened to actor Ken Wahl? He just disappeared off the scene about 25 years ago. I think he's still alive . . . but I've not checked his Wikipedia page lately!).
After suffering a broken neck from a fall, he developed a drinking problem(to dull the pain) and after barely making it through the filming of the WISEGUYS reunion, he gave up acting for good. I have no idea what he does for income now.

I always liked the way Dick handled Genevieve Bujold in anne of a thousand days.
he showed her who was boss.
He pretty much did the same with Liz in TAMING OF THE SHREW.
If they wanted to kill time, perhaps TCM could have showed THE ROBE in place of THE LONGEST DAY and put one of the two Burton films I also liked but haven't seen mentioned so far....

ICE PALACE('60)

THE ASPHALT JUNGLE, MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY and PANIC IN YEAR ZERO come to mind when the name JEAN HAGEN comes up. Actually(he said while pulling on the flameproof suit), while I thought it was OK, I never thought that very highly of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN to care much about who was in it outside of the three leads, and maybe PHIL SILVERS. And when it's scheduled, I always try to time it so that I can tune into it just as the "Make 'em laugh" segment comes on. The only part of the flick I really liked.

"Fort Apache The Bronx" is a good movie as far as those cop movies of that era goes. I always liked it and have a copy of it I made sometime in the '80's. And still have it.

Well, I dunno about YOU here Sepia, but I started turnin' grey at just about this same age TOO, ya know.
But yeah, I suppose there's now a bit of a resemblance between LaVar and Joe Seneca, and especially if you look at him (Mr. Seneca that is) at about this same age in 1982's The Verdict...
At 64 only my beard was what's called "salt and pepper". My hair( what was left of it
) was still dark brown. But there's always trade offs....
My brother, who died four months before his 64th B-day, had a head full of snow white hair. And a THICK head full, while my still dark brown hair was much thinner on top.
And now, at 70(this past July 28) there's a few grey streaks along the sides, but still outnumbered by the dark.

And NOW as we take a little side excursion away from the subject of "Ben" here (and because HELL, I just GAVE the OP of this thread a good damn reason to like Ben up there...well, UNLESS they happen to come from FRANCE anyway), so lavender, what did you think of LaVar Burton's stint as guest host of 'Jeopardy!' ?
(...I thought he was very good and wouldn't mind at all seein' him becoming the permanent host of the program)
I thought LeVar was a good guest host too. But was SHOCKED!(apologies to Claude Rains) to see his relatively young(only 64) self looking more like actor JOE SENECA!

Actually, now I store all my movies and DVDs in "media" shelf units with the title side faced outward so I could see what they are. I shelve my music CDs alphabetically by artist's names.
For my old VHS collection with more than one movie per cassette numbering them and cataloging them was much easier and efficient. Downsizing from the move 10 years ago my library isn't that vast anymore. Many of the movies I left behind were taped for the sake of taping them and were movies we liked at the time but eventually learned we didn't really care for many of them that much. The only "collection" I still maintain are the 15-20 Disney titles we collected over 20+ years. Still VHS, and still playable.

“Leave the gun, take the cannoli.”
Ok, maybe I shoe-horn that in when not exactly appropriate, but still, it’s a favorite of mine.
Actually, a favorite of mine from that movie is.....
"I want my brother coming out of that toilet with more than his d*ck in his hand!"
But then too, I never had an appropriate occasion in which I could use it.

Seems easier(and more accessibly efficient) to simply list them alphabetically by movie title.

I did mention before(in a similar thread) that my collection of VHS copies and "store bought" tapes were numbered and cataloged in a binded plastic cover reference type booklet that was kept in a lower compartment of my entertainment center. In my basement was a shelving unit I built with a matching unit joined together on one side by hinges that closed and opened with a rolling caster on the bottom of one while the "mate" of that shelving unit was fastened to a wall. One side of the shelves that opened was left open for tape removal while the "outside" was closed with a large sheet of plexiglass that allowed anyone to see the tapes.

Here you go. This time not Eric Carmen - as far as I know.
Relaxing Delta brainwave sound. "Delta Brainwaves Sound Bath for Deep Dreamless Sleep."
Delta = asleep, is anyone really still asleep?
As I wasn't listening through headphones, that "wave" played equally through each of the cheap PC speakers I have hooked up to my computer. Neither can be turned down or off separately.

Y'know, when I developed a film "library", my only concerns were finding something to keep the tapes( it was started before DVDs) neat and orderly and easy to get at, and placing them in alphabetic order. Since I've got a lot of time on my hands(being retired and all) I might go through them and see how many movies in how many different decades I've acquired.
Nice idea.

Except, and as Katie kind'a pointed out about Alicia and most all Brits and Aussies and their non-rhotic 'R's, Brewer & Shipley's song would be sung as "One Toke OVAH the Line".
(...and which reminds me of all those TV commercials I've watched in which actress Jane Seymour is hawking her cheap little piece of jewelry and calls it her "open 'hot' pendant")
Alicia would likely pronounce it, "One Toe-uk OW-ehvuh the loin!"

And didn't "Wackyland" make you think of some kind of acid trip?
