That's great both for the hiking and the Museum! I have been going to the Moab area for years and don't know why I had never stopped at the Museum before. Dumb move on my part never to have stopped before.
-
Stopped at the Moab Museum of Film and Western Heritage yesterday near Moab, Utah for the first time. Very glad I did. Great place! Anybody else ever been there?

An excellent miniseries but sadly I don't get Encore. The original novel was great as well.

Methinks so too Arturo. You only go around once. Poor poor Jean. I am a louse but lust will do that to you. I'll try and come back to Jean though she won't have me again for good reasons. She murders both me (the very bad louse) and Ava (the very bad girl) and gets off cause we both deserved our fates and goodness and justice win out. Her good to the bone lawyer and Heavenly sent Atticus Finch ( Gregory Peck of course) wins her acquittal and love with both enjoying 50 years of wedded bliss. Scout of course gains a saintly new mother. Ava and myself rot forever in unmarked and unloved graves.

Good girl: Jean Arthur. Always seemed the epitome of honest, trustworthy, caring, loyal, shy. Also drop dead gorgeous with a killer smile that melts me. Marriage material.
Bad girl: Ava Gardner. Fling and lust material only. Beautiful, trustworthy as a rattler, and seemingly bad to the bone. A black widow type with a body of solid gold to me. Would be like a drug you knew was going to kill you in a most unhappy way but you had to try it.

Louis Wolheim as the German soldier scrounger "Kat" was a great in the 1930 "All Quiet On The Western Front". So sad to see him die in the end.

I HATE and detest Lt. Ney!! How dare he be married to MY delectable Greer!! What a woman!! She was born to early and I was born too late. But.............I do thank Ney for his service during the war.

I only yell, scream, stomp around, leave the room, and curse the "boob tube" whenever I'm watching my hallowed Nebraska Cornhusker football team play. Other than that I'm Mr. Mild Mannered and Angelic when watching TCM or other "boob tube" dramas unless my dear dear incredibly dear wife is controlling the clicker and switches from my (to her "BORING") movies to watch her "beloved" sports. Then I'm known to mildly SCREECH and fight tooth and nail for the clicker. Needless to say I usually lose the battle.

Clint Eastwood's "Mystic River". Too sad and depressing about childhoods and never-left-neighborhoods that haunt until death.
-
On The Beach (1959) was a very depressing and emotionally draining movie to me though also a great end-of-the world drama. Papillon (1973) was also exceedingly depressive.

Who can forget Marty Feldman's crazy eyes.

I would like to see an epic concerning the Roman destruction of Carthage in the 3rd Punic war. A literal leveling of a lost city and maritime empire of antiquity or an epic of an incredibly complex German writer, soldier, and thinker called Ernst Junger who wrote probably the greatest personal WW1 combat memoir of all called "Storm of Steel". Junger lived to be 103. I really like epics.

Patton (1970)
Nosferatu (1922)
Gandhi (1982)
Spartacus (1960)
All of these are exceptional movies to me. I would pick Gandhi as my favorite of these four with Nosferatu second.

I totally agree with your assessment of Serling. A brilliant man who died too young.
-
Newman aged very very well. He was spellbinding to me with Tom Hanks in "Road to Perdition" which is one of the finest gangster films ever to me.
-
THAT is a fascinating picture of Miss Garbo. Her eyes are deep wells.

Just finished watch "Patterns" 1956 for the first time. That was one devastating no-holds-barred movie. Wow!! is about all I can say. Corporate in-fighting and murderous inhumane aggression. Kind of left me feeling numb as I worked for many years in sort of the same management/ownership situation. I finally just had enough one day and quit on the spot and walked out. Wish Ed Begley had too. Life is too short as it is and he paid the price. Humanity increasingly meant nothing only the bottom line. We were all just numbers as in this movie. I so wish that Van Heflin would have beaten the bastard to death and left his carcass on the roof for the crows and ravens. Great movie I am glad I took the time to watch. Personally numbing.

Thanks for glorifying the lies of the movie. You certainly are full of balony considering you are supposed to be "wonderful". I have "seen" the movie misswonderly several times and I lived through the very real times in Nebraska. It is a great film depicting a lie about real horrific events. There are great films called "Triumph of the Will" and "Badlands". Both are about filming lies even though both are extraordinary films but in the end the lies win out over everything else.
-
Broderick was kind of stiff in his intro but I sure like some of his movies such as the "Glory" and "Ferris Bueler's Day Off". Love the way he talks into the camera and audience in Ferris Bueler. I find that a hilarious movie.
-
For anyone who may be viewing Starkweather and Fugate with any sympathy and to those who viewed the utter whitewash of a film called Badlands and derived some sympathy to the "characters" portrayed in this movie. Read about the true rampage.
-
Methinks you are on the wrong forum Mr. Taylor.
-
BTW-- The 1939 Badlands has absolutely nothing in common with the 1973 Badlands so why are you mentioning it?? What's the point if there is any??
-
I just finished watching "The Pit and The Pendulum". I agree that it has been a Vincent Price overload but I did want to see this horror masterpiece above all his other films. I am done with Vincent. Don't need to see his face or hear his voice for a longggggggggg time.

Yes Heavy Metal does go with Halloween. In A Gadda Da Vida at full volume!!!!!!!!!!!! plus a medley of Led Zeppelin and Van Halen and AC/DC. There were many scary looking rockers. Think of KISS.

I can't recall ever seeing this film before so I am looking forward to watching it tonight. Looks terrific.
