GREASE 2 "I want a coo-oo-oo-ool rider . . ."

THE VERDICT is airing on TCM in September as part of the Sidney Lumet tribute.

GREASE 2 was better. I couldn't resist.

I'm trying to remember. I think maybe last November. It was hosted by Alec Baldwin and Robert Osborne.

Not to make this into more of a BEWITCHED thread, but I feel compelled to respond based on similarities to my experiences to those in your post, speedracer. I have all 8 seasons of BEWITCHED on DVD and am currently sharing the episodes in chronological order with my special someone, who also didn't have cable growing up and so didn't see it on Nick At Nite like I did. We're currently in Season 2 and just watched the first episode with Paul Lynde as Uncle Arthur. (We also liked Paul Lynde as the mortal, highly nervous driving instructor Harold Harold in one of the Season 1 episodes).

The screenwriter for CABARET told Isherwood that they were going back to his Berlin Stories rather than using the book of the musical. Isherwood mentions this in the interview that was posted.

I saw it when it was on during the salute to pre-codes and was a bit disappointed because I was expecting it to be more salacious based on the way it was described. It's still on the DVR so I think I will re-watch it.

Thanks, Arturo, but I discovered that I don't have FXM.

BLUE DENIM aired again, and I missed it again. Sigh . . .

So, Monsieur CaveGirl, you do like Eddie Muller or you don't?

Monsieur CaveGirl, are you not a Julia Roberts fan or do you just not like PRETTY WOMAN?

The interview with Isherwood was wonderful. Thanks for posting. He's quite soft-spoken but thoroughly engaging. His comment about Hitler stealing his hairstyle was hilarious.

Leslie Howard is very good as Henry Higgins and he is the right age for the part. Rex Harrison in MY FAIR LADY was really too old. Harrison looks around the same age as the woman who plays his mother in the movie.

I agree with you, TikiSoo. I'm sure you knew I would. Janet must not have watched many episodes based on the way she summed up BEWITCHED. But as you stated, to each his own. I'm glad you singled out Mabel Albertson as Darin's mother who makes an art out of subtle condescension, but usually ends up a victim of witchcraft. ("I having one of my sick headaches.") I always love it when Samantha gives it to Sheila. And, Serena! I love her!

Ah, so that's how they did it!

I totally agree. Leslie Howard is extremely miscast in the role of Ashley, who is supposed to be younger than the wordly Rhett Butler. Ashley in the movie actually looks older than Scarlett O'Hara's second husband, who is described as an "old man." One must really suspend disbelief to accept Scarlett's infatuation with Ashley throughout that very loooooooooooong movie. I am not able to suspend it. In my opinion Ashley should look like Errol Flynn or maybe Tyrone Power. I doubt either actor would have wanted to play the role, even if their respective studio had agreed to loan them.

BEWITCHED took this concept to a whole other level. You have this being with supernatural powers and her spouse tells her that she must live out her life as a housewife and mother. And she agrees! Of course, perhaps she was just telling him what he wanted to hear knowing all along that she would continue to use her powers. By the way, I love BEWITCHED as many on this board probably already know.

Yes, the Vitameatavegemin episode is one of the most well-known episode but deservedly so. It is very funny. Another one I like that's often cited as a favorite for good reason is the one where Lucy and Ethel go to work at the chocolate factory. I think the episode is titled "Job Switching." Ricky and Fred try their hand and taking care of the houshold chores while their wives join the work force.

Technicolor seems very confused about both versions of WATERLOO BRIDGE, misswonderly. Perhaps he/she saw the version with Adele Dazeem.

Thanks, Swithin, for posting this beautiful clip from THE LONG DAY CLOSES, which is a wonderful movie. Like you and BagelonaPlateofOnionRolls, i like the song "Tammy" too.

Thanks for sharing this information.

Never? Are you sure about that?

The second photo (re-posted below) is from ROSWELL, one of my favorite shows from the the late 1990s/early 2000s. Katherine Heigl later became known for her role on GREY'S ANATOMY, but she'll always be Isabel Evans to me. The first photo was from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

Do you think he could be the REAL Adele Dazeem?

Yes Martha and Walter pull the trigger together when Martha is shot (I would argue that Martha takes control) , then Walter shoots himself.
