  1. I always though Ms. Schafer was a good looker when young and held up well into the Gilligan years.

    ...which last for 15 YEARS!.  On "Rescue From Gilligan's Island", noticed some still looks like new or dry pressed!

    Probably dry pressed.  And likely by some device the professor made from coconut shells and bamboo.  ;)

  2. Unlike  ElCid up there, I'd say Christmas movies do indeed count as the question was "Is there any film...."   And as we all don't like the same Christmas movies, there would be some who've viewed a certain one more than other people have.  And with all that in mind I'd have to say I've probably seen  A CHRISTMAS CAROL ('51)  more than any other, and indeed probably more than BOGEY.   Having first seen it as an "after the parade"  broadcast on Thanksgiving day '67 by a local TV station,  and each year after  for  five more years, and then eventually, when home video and VHS tape purchases were upon us, I watched it twice a year since 1982(you do the math).  

    I'd say 2nd on that list is THE WIZARD OF OZ.   And too, due to the advent of home video.

    And.....   A MOVIE DIARY??  Y'know, at 12 my mind and interests, what with an increasing hormone level, were obviously elsewhere!  ;)

  4. The term I was referring to was "hate crime".  Which didn't come into common use until the '80's.  Until then a crime was just a crime.  regardless of your feelings about the victim's creed or color.

    I guess it all comes down to how literal one wishes to interrupt "in that term";  

     

    It'd be inconsiderate(as I was taught) to interrupt  anything or anybody.   Hell.  I don't really think you need to INTERPRET it!  ;)

    That's Diki Lerner as Lonesome Polecat, far left front. Third from the left is Robert Strauss as Romeo Scragg, then Carmen Alvarez as Moonbeam McSwine (sleeping out with pigs is her line), Al Nesor at far right, next to Stella Stevens, with Julie Newman with outstretched arms, in the center.

     

    WOW!  That NEWMAN chick looks just like JULIE NEWMAR!!  :o  ;)

  6. Still have it on tape.  But what I liked(and my wife too) about the original was that we each knew people who were like some of the kid's characters in the movie.  And other kid's parents who were close to the movie's too.  And remembering too...

    TV teen dance shows like the movie's parody "Corny Collins" show....

    Big "ratted" hair-dos, that weren't really too exaggerated  in the movie  ;) 

    The downplay of "colored" dance and music on the  late '50's-early '60's top 40 pop music and dance.  

    The newer remake?  Well, I though Travolta in drag was a hoot.  And the young actress that played Tracy(Nikki Blonsky) was way talented.  Too bad she dropped out of sight.   And a quick scene of  early '60's pregnant women sitting in a bar sipping martinis and smoking cigarettes.  My, how times have changed.  ;)

  7. Even as kids we all liked Johnny.  Thought he had the best job in the world!     This is the first I've heard about his passing.  Jakeem must be slipping, or is too wrapped up in choreographer's deaths to keep on the ball.  

    Ach!  Another treasured part of my childhood is gone.  That's happening too much too often lately.  Just makes that line I'm in shorter.  :( 

    Rest In Peace, Mark.

  8. No argument really.  I too have had issues with the Wayne County, MI Friend Of the Court( an oxymoron if I ever heard one!  ;) ) so what happened to my buddy didn't surprise me.  And I'm not really dissmissing what happened to your friend.  I get the angst.  Maybe if police were busier going after or responding to more real crimes rather than pulling people over for minor traffic infractions or hassling kids gathered outside of buildings and not really doing anything  more people who should be in jail would be there.  Like someone I know once said---

    "They can't patrol the streets from the doughnut shop or the speed trap."  ;)

    Getting way OT here, but what is up with putting somebody in jail who cannot pay child support? Like they will just sell their Benz and cough up the cash? More than likely they will just lose their job and then nobody is getting their money. Then there is the case of the guy who raped my friend. A white medical school student, son of a rich doctor who thought it would be a great idea to marry an insane woman and have three mentally unstable children with her - one of them being my friend's rapist. He got off on a technicality caused by incompetent police and a good lawyer.  It was a stranger rape by the way, long before DNA evidence. The guy just thought the idea of being a serial rapist was way cool. So when they say there are no rich people on death row - true, that. The guy did actually go to prison 30 years later for attempted murder - pled down to first degree assault - for one of the more bizarre crimes in Kentucky history. The original crime occurred in Texas, my home state. 

    First, my buddy DID pay his child support.  Couldn't get out of it since his payments were payroll  deducted.  But someone at FOC didn't enter the payments properly into the court's computer files, and even him going in with his employer's payroll records didn't sway anybody there.  And the bite was when his lawyer finally obtained his release, FOC offered NO apology or restitution.

    Second, there's a HUGE difference between "CANNOT" pay child support, and "WILL NOT" pay.  

    And what does your friend's rape have to do with any of this?  But then you mentioned the rapist did go to prison for something else.  A crime committed in Kentucky, a state I have no possible use for.

    Don't think I believe people in prison are just misunderstood. I've had friends who were victims of violent crimes. 

    Yep.  And I have friends who were falsely imprisoned.   And a few others who went to prison for non-violent crimes(car theft,  breaking into closed stores, etc.)   Then there was the buddy who spent two years in jail for non-payment of child support that turned out to be  a "glitch" in the FOC's computer files..
