Sorry to do this(NOT! ) but I'm throwing ANOTHER Brian into the fray! ------ https://search.aol.com/aol/image;_ylt=A0geJaOEQvhg7UgAKTJpCWVH;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?q=brian+donlevy&v_t=wscreen50-bb Sepiatone

Ah, well, looking them both over I only notice Aherne's nose being a bit thinner, but not really straighter than Brent's. And too, since the caricature was a profile, AND a caricature, chances are the nose really doesn't resemble either person's. And both Flynn's and Colman's caricature's weren't really profiles. But at least we can agree on one thing.... It SURE AS HELL isn't Ameche! Sepiatone

Ok, so was THIS one listed previously? I really haven't kept up with this thread that well.... Sepiatone

I still can't understand why either TCM or my cable service would list an Olympic documentary as featuring Nadia Comaneci and CAITLYN JENNER, When surely Caitlyn Jenner never attended. However, BRUCE was phenomenal! Sepiatone

Looking ahead on my cable's "guide" option, (or WAS it TCM?) listed the 1976 Olympics with CAITLYN JENNER, not BRUCE! Sepiatone

Really, looking at the image pages of them both I see more similarities than differences between the two. https://search.aol.com/aol/image;_ylt=A0geJaVPrPVgX4AAUQNpCWVH;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?q=george+brent&v_t=wscreen50-bb#id=6&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fb%2Fbb%2FGeorge_Brent_1-M-2004.jpg&action=close https://search.aol.com/aol/image;_ylt=A2KLfR_2rPVgqxMAsBdpCWVH;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?q=brian+aherne&v_t=wscreen50-bb Sepiatone

I'm still(like a dog with a bone) holding out for THIS guy. Scope some of the profile shots and recall his co-starring with Colbert in a 1941 movie, who is supposedly the woman the man in the cartoon is sitting with, and..... remember too, the cartoon IS more or less a CARICATURE! Sepiatone

I went through a similar thing a few years ago with a rear projection HITACHI of mine. GOOD looking picture, but started getting green lines(horizontal in my case) and wide ones too. Replaced it with an LG "smart" TV that can't give me the aspect options the Hitachi did. But for a second the beginning of your post reminded me of how my Dad used to joke that we needed a new TV set because; "I've already seen all the shows on this one!" Sepiatone

Nope. Cute little b u g g e r though. Sepiatone

But still not sure what was in that ENTRESTO commercial. Sepiatone

But, as I stated a bit earlier, Colbert co-starred in 1941's SKYLARK with BRIAN AHERN, who the cartoon kinda resembles too. Sepiatone

A few things here, maybe a bit off discussion, but I saw both and felt BODY HEAT was way better. And you mention the chase scene in THE 7-UPS, in which I anger many sheep-headed people when I say I thought it WAY better than the one in BULLITT. And as for that movie in general, IMO, it should be "Bullitt" with a capital "BULL". And really, you can't have just ONE movie as an " '80's defining flick." due to there are many that define that decade GENRE-wise. Like VALLEY GIRL for the "coming of age" genre, or the Indiana Jones franchise for defining the ACTION/ADVENTURE genre, etc. And each member here too, will have what they consider any decade "defining" film picks. And I doubt there will be any conscensus. Sepiatone

Well, if it's "authenticity" you want, dig up any late '30's-early '40's documentaries on teen-age behavior that might exist. But nobody(I hope) ever watched an Andy Hardy movie to learn how "kids" really behaved in those times. But if you're looking to spend a couple hours or so with warm hearted and amusing escapism, it's hard to beat Andy Hardy. Or, in the spirit of, and to paraphrase Andy; "Put on your OWN show!" Sepiatone

Yeah, I too thought that caveman was a Jack Benny parody. Sepiatone

Sure, I liked that show. But the theme wasn't anything special(or memorable, really) . Play it to a roomful of folks without telling them what it's from and I'll bet nobody jumps up and shouts the answer! And Harry O's theme sounds too "TV cop show" generic. But ONE TV cop show theme, that was probably already posted, but bears repeating(and was more memorable. ) is--- Sepiatone

Yeah, it's still difficult for some to accept Rooney in anything else but an ANDY HARDY flick. Crenna's performances in most thing's after THE REAL McCOYS are impressive. Like his "way out of type" role in WAIT UNTIL DARK. BEN's not mentioning him surprises me, but Eddie's always been so full of his presumed "knowledge" of all things noir(and himself), that his not recognizing a good peripheral performance is to be expected. Sepiatone

Hard to tell, going by that crappy photo MOE posted. Sepiatone

Yeah, I remember him from LAREDO too. Seeing him pop up from time to time in all kind of TV shows(KUNG FU, and MANNIX once too I think). Long time another favorite of mine. Was thrilled when he showed up in that Eastwood flick. RIP. Sepiatone

Yep, there's that. And cartoon or not, if Cugat was to be caricatured in a Warner's cartoon of this type, he'd probably be seen on the BANDSTAND, directing his musicians, not seated at a table a Ciro's hobnobbing with the big name "stars". And your idea Dan, of Colbert being seated with a recent co-star is sound. And it being 1941 would be throwing BRIAN AHERN into the fray. (SKYLARK, '41). Sepiatone

Well, ERIC, one disappearance I noticed even way before streaming came about were the "Dollar shows". Movie theaters that were once legitimate first run movie houses until the advent of huge, multi screened hulks. There used to be several within a short drive from my house, but only a couple remain. Surviving mostly by patronage of civic minded loyalists, as the two are theaters that were centered smack in the middle of their city's busy downtown business district. And also, I imagine, patronized by the "forgotten". You know, those who(and there's more than you think) don't have cable service, satellite service, home computers, just regular cellular phones and even maybe just land lines. And maybe not even once owned a VCR and now not even a DVD player. Yes, they do exist, not being sheep-like enough to be beguiled by the electronics market and never in their lives have lemming like chased trends over the cliff at the ends of common sense. And did someone bring up the AMC theaters? Well, in my area only one remains. Across Eureka Road in Taylor, MI. from the Southland Mall. The theater in the mall just reopened after being shut down at the end of the '90's. And the one in the Sears shopping center is long gone too. So are the rest of the stores in that center(they were razed) and the Sears store is closed up too. They mostly had all their customers swallowed up by either the MJR theaters or the EMAGINE theater chains. Sepiatone

I kept seeing a great looking red auto in an Entresto commercial. But while investigating, couldn't find the commercial, but THIS instead. As of this entry, I haven't seen the commercial since the previous night. After seeing this, I'll peel an eye(eeek!) to notice if they're really the same, or just similar. Sepiatone

Yeow! I suppose after buying a house with walls BIG ENOUGH to accommodate it, then being able to afford the set is another several years off. Anyway, I really don't see the average "Joe the plumber" type shelling out hard earned bucks for it. So it seems movie theaters aren't threatened much by it. Sepiatone

Sure. Like your workmate I was long used to THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD in black and white, never owning a color TV set until I was 21 and eventually bought my first house with my first wife. And too, really liked those Flynn swashbucklers since I was a kid. But of course, for different reasons than what I still like them for. Sepiatone

I think it's part of the Rush Limbaugh estate Nip, him acquiring it years ago because it was the only mic that could accommodate his way oversized blowhole. Sepiatone

That sounds familiar to me somehow..... See the post I placed on Monday. Only my other one was a 1923 silent(no pun intended). Sepiatone
