The TCM Noireteria even sells concrete blocks for $29.99 plus two way attachment rope for $11.99. They're still working on a wine selection that would complement this.

I can understand her not liking it right away, but after some time has passed, yeah it's funny.

Yeah. I always get a laugh out of that line from Marty--College girls, one step up from the street, the implication being that those college girls would "give it away."

I had forgotten that one. Still pretty funny.

Moon Over Miami isn't really my kind of movie. Why not have her moon someone in Cleopatra? There's already a lot showing anyway. Sorry, I'm a Curly fan. It Happened Once, After Noon.

I've never noticed that she seemed bent over. Hey, whatever.

I remember reading about Armstrong's long term reefer madness. That was a bit of a surprise because Armstrong was sort of an unofficial establishment type for much of his later career. Old Louis wouldn't smoke dope just like all those hippies did, now would he? Yes, I would guess that a lot of the musicians of the time smoked weed. especially given their late night life styles. I still believe that some parents of the baby boomers were a bit jealous of the drugs they didn't take and the sex they didn't have back in the day. But at least some of them had to pretend they wouldn't do those things themselves.

Hey, how about equal time for the old Colbert has no neck thingee.

Do Mitchum that joint, maybe. I can't recall when I read that Mitchum was busted for pot. That was pretty unusual back then. Yes, some people were smoking weed back in the 1940s, but it wasn't as widespread as it became in the 1960s. I'll wager a lot of these oldsters were just jealous.

I propose that EM take the place of the guy who was dumped in the Passaic river last Friday.

Damn, they really did freeze Walt Disney. There are suspicions that Bob's arrest may have been some kind of set up, perhaps sacrificing Mitchum so a bigger star went free. I don't think there's any proof of that, but it's an interesting speculation.

Very likely, though he still wouldn't care.

I doubt many folks today would be disturbed by Bob Mitchum blowing a little weed. Back in '48 it was a big deal, though Bob's career didn't suffer.

One vote for The Honeymooners. I like Laurel and Hardy too, but the same old tie twiddling and head scratching get old after a while. Not that Ralph and Norton didn't have similar set pieces, but I find them funnier. Since humor, like most other things, is a very individual taste, I can understand people liking either one. I watched the classic 39 on YT a number of years ago, mostly because I hadn't seen them in so many years. The visual quality was quite good too. Maybe they're no longer on YT.

Maybe Peck realized that Bob had the juicy role while Peck was just playing his usual solid citizen part. And at that time he must have seen Cape Fear as not exactly a prestige picture. I always got a kick out of Mitchum addressing Peck as counselor in his southern drawl. Have another blast, counselor? The remake is pretty good, mostly due to De Niro. The rest of the cast doesn't add much to it. No doubt that Max Cady II was better read than Cady I. And his cigar was a hell of a lot bigger too.

Indeed. Something bushy tailed this way comes. Back in the day I didn't like to see the Dissociative Dust Bunny come up. That was always bad news.

Maybe the Death card came up. Haiti is known for beliefs in black magic and other supernatural things. Tarot readings were entertaining, but I never put much stock in them. The cards themselves were certainly visually impressive.

I've always had a thing for Vera Clouzot, especially in pigtails. And hard hearted Hanna Schygulla.

Were you the guy who forgot to turn off the ectoplasm communicator one Halloween? No, it's not me. I grew up in north Jersey. I think some teens get interested in stuff like seances and tarot cards. Some take it more seriously than others. I didn't take it too much to heart, but it was fun to be involved.

I was just quoting a Pixies' song. Hey, maybe the Hebrews were into craps. I likely heard something similar somewhere along the way. Hard to take it very seriously. Now we all know that Ronny was too lazy to really be the devil. It's a nice feat of memorization, but truth be told, I'm not all that interested in the Judges. But if I change my mind, I'll know where to go. My good friend's friend in high school was interested in all things supernatural. After some observation, we came to the conclusion he was mostly into it so he could get girls. We had more fun smoking weed at the top of the water tower.

If the Devil is 6, then God is 7.

The first one that came to mind was Blithe Spirit maybe because it was on TCM not long ago. Obviously a comic seance and not very creepy at all.

I had to track that one down since I couldn't remember the context of my post. But I stand by my comment. And soon enough the Raiders will discover that there is no there there.

Sometimes it's about precious natural fluids.

I haven't seen the nude wrestling scene in years. If Bates really prohibited full frontal, it must have been choreographed down to the last second.
