I always liked that Gratiot Avenue in Dee-troit was pronounced GRAT-chut.
Or, more often---
"Grashut". with a "short" A.

Never a fan I can't honestly say Mr. Thomas didn't have a fine singing voice. Only eight years my senior, his passing at such a young age, when a lot of other celebrities recently have been passing in their 90's, does make it seem kind of unfair in a way. And probably more so to his still loyal fans.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Thomas.

He also has a fun guest-starring role on The Andy Griffith Show.
I also caught him in a couple PERRY MASON episodes, and an interesting role in a rerun of RAWHIDE.
And after his stint in OPERATION PETTICOAT , the two McHALE'S NAVY flicks, then THE SAND PEBBLES, I wondered how he felt about being back on the water in THE LOVE BOAT after being on dry land with THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW.
He could be lovably funny and frighteningly evil with equal aplomb. Had more range than many gave him credit for. His passing is a loss.
Rest In Peace, dear sir.

. Mank was an acquaintance of Hearst and often dined at San Simeon. He was the one who knew the true meaning of rosebud.
Some of us laughed about that since we were aware that "rosebud" was a gay culture slang term for the a n u s. So....
What WAS on Kane's mind as he was dying?
And too, how does it relate to Hearst?

I can never understand how people can get satisfaction out of dissing others. Is it out of a desperate need cope with feeling inferior? Dis a movie, dis the editing or acting. Dis what people do. But running someone else down only reflects poorly on the one doing it.
It's adorable that you post all that self righteousness with the belief IT'S not "dissing" too!

You're like a dog with a bone( sorry. Was that an insult to distract attention?) I have no agenda. And I stand by the FACT that what's seen NOW as racism, sexism, misogyny etc. in old movies WASN'T put into those films with the intention of insulting ANYBODY. Add to that the fact that it's already been done and over with. And all the self righteous bloviating isn't going to make any of it go away. UNLESS, these blathering heads are pushing to have these movies BANNED from being shown on TCM ever again. And that would accomplish what?
and BTW:
A "circle j e r k " is an activity, not an individual.

Or You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war. Supposedly the original reply of W. R. Hearst
to illustrator Frederic Remington. Very doubtful it ever happened. I always wondered why
Mank used prose poems. How would a prose poem get people all het up about atrocities in
Cuba? Especially compared to illustrations. I've got this great prose poem about the raising
of the flag at Iwo Jima. Let's go with that.
Because "Kane" wasn't supposed to BE about Hearst, remember?

I put on my flameproof suit, so I'm comfortable in saying I think Ben knows FAR more about Film than Eddie Muller knows what Noir truly is. But that's because unlike Eddie, I believe "Noir" is more a film making STYLE, and NOT a genre. And DAMN sure not a "lifestyle".

There are many Southern accents. For instance, "Tidewawtuh Vuhginya"; a "Chahlston" accent, which is also non-rhotic; the very liquid accent of central Georgia; the nasal Inland South accent (SW Virginia, East TN, western NC, NW Georgia, northeast Alabama down to Birmingham), and so on. "Ourn" and "yourn" are more common in the mountainous parts of the Inland South and southeastern Kentucky. A more rural or mountain form of "y'all" is "you'uns," as opposed to "we'uns." "You'uns" is the ancestor of Pittsburgh's "yinz."
A friend swears that he has heard natives of Philadelphia call the city "Fluffya." People also say "wooder" in Baltimore, or rather "Ballmer." Some native Baltimoreans pronounces "oh" as "ehoh" (slur them together) and "ow" as "eeow" (slurred together), just as Eliza Doolittle would pronounce it. I think the Baltimore accent derives from Cockney, but am not sure.
Sure. And around these parts, we call it "DEE-troit" and not "De-TROIT." And then there's(as most natives call it) "NAWLINS LOOZY-ANNA."
But then, I come from a state that calls "MACKINAC" as "MACKINAW". But we do have a Mackinaw City. 
HOUGHTON LAKE(and the city too) is pronounced "HO-ton", and we smirk whenever a transplant or out-of-towner pronounces it "HOW-ton". My favorite is an avenue called CADIEUX. Pronounced how? Why; "CAD-JEW" of course!

Yellow journalism and yellow press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate, well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales.[1] Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.[2]

It's customary to actually show a photo in case the reader is unfamiliar with whom you're referring to:
I can't post pics either. And in the case of the shortly earlier David Paymer/ Stanley DeSantis comparison, I only see the photo of Paymer, but only get a link to the DeSantis photo that gives me a "certificate error" notification when I click on it.
And there's a photo of JOAN BENNETT up there that more reminds me of LUCILLE BALL (especially the eyes and mouth) than the others it's listed with.

I don't think "fake news" is an accurate term.(just a term Trump used to defray attention from the truth) as in both the actual story, and the fictional one created for the movie there actually were men facing those dangers. The actual Floyd Collins and the fictional Leo Minosa. Both reporters didn't create any "fake" situation, but heinously embellished the events for their own benefit with tragic but essentially avoidable ends. If both were "fake news" there wouldn't have BEEN a Floyd Collins or Leo Minosa trapped in caves.

Having worked in the auto industry here in Detroit, I've heard plenty of different speech patterns. One thing I know for sure.....
There's NO such thing as a "Southern" accent. Not ONE mind you, but several. There were and are still plenty of holdovers of people who moved "up North"( or, "up Noth") from various Southern states. And several of those from "Missippy" sound a lot like Elvis Presley, who, as we all know came from Mississippi originally. And they sound different than those from "Ala-BA-ya-ma". And those from Georgia, usually call it "JAW-jah".
Like Jimmy Carter did too. There were some things in common, like "all" for "oil", and "at" for "that" "Rye-cheer" for "right here". ie: " Y'all put the ALL in the MO-der RYE CHEER, jus' like at!" Then there's the African-American(and some white Southerners) use of "I'm-a" replacing, "I'm going to" as in....
"I'm-a go to the store, then I'm-a be back to take the dog a bath."
Then too, there's "ourn" like used by Strother Martin in "Cool Hand Luke" when he tells the state trooper he's taking Luke to the camp's infirmary, claiming, "He's OURN!" But too, My Pennsylvanian born and bred Mother used that as well. But, don't try nothin' 'cause...
I see yo a-ss!

Oh, GOD! Puh-LEEZE not "The Deer Hunter". Not unless someone shaves off 45 minutes of wasted film( and there's lots of it in that one). For Vietnam, someone already suggested Hamburger Hill, And CASUALTIES OF WAR ain't too shabby either.
But with all the stupidity of attacks on Asian citizens lately, it wouldn't hurt to show '51's GO FOR BROKE about the all Japanese 442nd regimental division of WWII.

Why, the very ones you push yourself: The American Myth. God's in his heaven, everyone's in his place.
And just WHEN was it I "pushed" ANY agenda?
For me, "agenda fatigue" takes place when the "discussions" (they're mostly NOT discussions as much as like minded circle j e r k s) deteriorate into self righteous beliefs that certain negative aspects in movies made 50-80+ years ago were intentional. Like racism and/or misogyny. Those horses should be hamburger by now, and all that spilled milk is curdled.

Ah yes, Born on the Fourth of July. Good movie.
And as I recall, probably the best acting little Tommy ever did.
(...and a few years before he decided to sell out and go this whole action/adventure route he's now on)
Sho 'nuff. I was always struck by that scene in which Tom's character(Ron Kovic) is giving a speech during his return home, hears a baby in the crowd start crying and he blanks out,( and we watching the movie knew why.) It was the way Tom handled that scene when I thought, "Damn. The kid CAN act, can't he? Never thought so before.
