His work on Seinfeld as Poppie left an indelible mark.

A certain guy can have the middle name of a Roman emperor and still be a thoroughgoing jerk.

Blue dresses on Bonanza. Don't wear.
I didn't really notice the color of their dresses, but any woman who was about in marry a Cartwright
was in big trouble. If I recall correctly, Little Joe actually did get married and was working on a house
for his new bride.......well, let's just say the honeymoon was cut short by murder.

Sure, the big wheels could wear red shirts without fear of harm, but the everyday slobs wore them
at their own risk, especially if they beamed down to a planet. Zap.
Taking a closer look at Khan, he looks like he might be in need of a bro.

Queer Eye was often publicized as something new and bold, but I was always amused at how
old-fashioned it really was. How to do your hair, what to where, how to prepare the proper
food and drink, suggestions as to music and topics to discuss. A lot of the usual superficial
stuff. It was like a slightly updated version of a 1950s video on how to catch a husband.
For all that it was quite entertaining.

ROFL. Another example of 30-40 years of dumbed-down American "entertainment" which caters to the lowest common denominator to sell tickets, instead of aspiring to make quality films/movies/TV shows. Another reason I haven't watched TV prime time for DECADES.... and probably never will again. That and the end of REAL journalism and rise of corp. "info/opinion" in lieu of objective news.
I'm guessing that American entertainment has been like that for a long time, longer than 30 or 40 years ago.
I don't watch a lot of contemporary TV. I think it has more to do with my age than the quality of the programs.
If I was twenty years old again I'd probably be watching it just as I did when I was twenty myself. There are
always some quality programs around, one just has to look for them.

LOL. They arent interested in anyone dying over 50........
For the most part, true. I can see things from their perspective--an elderly movie star from the studio era
of Hollywood isn't as likely to elicit reaction as someone much younger or more in the news. That's just
the way things work. I thought Olivia was a lovely woman and wonderful actress. The local paper had
a long story about her death and career.

OR, as that old saying went:
"Somewhere there's a horse missing a blanket."
I always got a kick out of that expression, though it's one you don't hear too much anymore.
For the sake of accuracy, it was likely too thin to be a horse blanket and was more fit for a
medium-sized dog. Either way, it was hard for the eyes to ignore or escape.

Just keep in mind that this was the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine after Bob Hope died at the age of 100 in July 2003.
If Bob wasn't dead already that cover may have done it.

Fred C Dobbs wasn't the most likable character, but I was sad when, very down
on his luck he runs into gold hat and his buddies, who kill him. They are later
captured by the police and are made to dig their own graves before they are
executed. Dobbs was not there to witness it, but it was retribution, even if
indirect.

Wesley's death was one of those Hollywood ones where you're saying to the character Get the hell
out of there, the bad guys are on their way and you might get hurt or killed. Of course he hangs
around while you're mentally urging him to leave and sure enough the bad guys show up and kill
him. If only he had left a minute or two earlier he would have been okay, but it was not going to
happen.
I can't blame Garfield for not wanting to quit the sea-faring life for picking lettuce for his in-laws.
They might have turned out to be a bunch of nasty bastards and the he would have been stuck.

I'm sure you looked very handsome in it.
I don't recall, but I never expected to see an adult wearing it, outside of a Pee Wee Herman
fan convention or a carnival.

I think Patricia Neal was still trying to seduce Garfield right through their last meeting. He was
tempted but never went very far. I laughed at the bar scene when he tells her to turn it off,
turn it off. She turns it down, but never completely turns it off. In a generally realistic flick,
their constantly bumping into each another seemed a bit unrealistic.
Eddie's suitjacket last night was awful. It looked like something I wore to church when I was ten years
old.

Brenty's special quality? It was the Irish in him and then in them.

Sorry, but I could never stand this guy. Not that I'm glad he's dead, though.........

Death in Venice is a wonderful summertime read. You can almost feel the sun on your face
and smell the suntan lotion as you turn the pages. And it's short so that it can be finished
in a few days, leaving one time to concentrate on getting a nice tan.

From Ben M's twitter:
So Eddie, tasked with getting @tcm fans excited about 24 hrs of George Raft, opens with these words: “George Raft has the emotional range of wood.”
Only @EddieMuller could make that work. And damn if I’m not gonna be recording every movie.
How witty and original.

I hope he used some lube.

The Irish Sweepstakes closed up shop around 1987. Demand was declining
and profits were thinning. It was replaced with some kind of lottery.
-
It did look like Greenstreet was too busy having a meltdown to complete the business of selling
the ticket as time was quickly running out. I read up a bit on the Irish Sweepstakes last night.
While it was promoted as a way to assist the finances of Irish hospitals, it was actually a private
company. The hospitals did get money, but so did the small group of people who ran the thing.
I was happy to find out that some of the money even made its way to the IRA. I'd stick to scratch
off tickets. so much simpler.

Why not go with a real inflatable dollie? No salary, no drinking or drug problems, doesn't have to learn
lines, doesn't come in late or take long lunch breaks. Hitchcock's dream actress. I think Gloria Grahame
would be a good choice. She's already got the inflated lips.
