I thought michael moore's fahrenheit 911 was hilarious.

a harmless diorama model of a famous movie monster...

hey, it's the irwin allen future where everything is simplified. imagine using one of them control rod props as a big ol' lightsabre.

what hollywood needs to put out is an old school science fiction movie with men in charge. something believable for a change.

I already seen it on TV. nuts to that.

Gene Wilder as Dirty Harry... "They're called oompa-loompas, punk!"

I really enjoyed John Frankenheimer's The Young Stranger last week with a young James MacArthur but then I always do. the following year MacArthur starred in a disney vehicle set in pre-revolutionary colonial America as an abducted white youth raised by indians who as part of a treaty agreement is returned to his white relatives. The film is of course The Light in the Forest directed by Hershel Daugherty and also stars Wendell Corey, Joanne Dru, Fess Parker and Carol Lynley. Any chance of tcm getting a hold of that?... or do I ask too much?

that idiot venkman coulda had himself a 100 foot segourney weaver.

how much of an effort is required for anybody to cut in on tcm's audience? tcm: where GWTW, Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago live. does tcm have any fixed cooling time for a print? do they keep them or do they get sent back after a showing? whatever happened to their old print of Hot Spell?

just didn't strike me as funny, that's all. it all seemed very flat.

my barber has gene autry pictures all over the walls of his shop.

yeah, I did know it was a voice-over but not gene autry. thanks!

maybe, I just found constance bennett's marion kerby very irritating... even more so than barbra streisand in what's up, doc?

lawless range tonite at ten forty on movies! john wayne sings!

that last one I gotta see.

Right.

I prefer the late 60s TV series where the setting is moved to gull cottage along rocky coastal maine, usa. seriously, the film is a fantasy rather than a comedy. rex harrison coulda had a field day with a more comedic script. the film is a wasted oppurtunity.

richard harris in orca or john huston in tentacles. no thanks for either.

I tried to sit through Topper last nite and found it quite excruciating. not a very funny film at all. the beginning of the film has george kerby not taking a stockholders meeting very seriously while marion kerby annoys topper in his office. I found constance bennett's "comedics" stupid and unfunny. only funny thing she did was slap the elevator guy. couldn't watch any more after her dance with roland young in the kerby's apartment. george kerby? ain't that glenn ford's real name in the fastest gun alive? cary grant wasn't any more funny then constance bennett but he certainly was more affable. I found the whole film stupid. roland young talks quite low and I can see why leo g. carroll got the part in the TV show. he sounded very much like roland young. as the film progresses we see that mrs. topper has her trained pet hubby cosmo on a strict daily regimen. he rebels by deciding to take a spin in the kerby's repaired super-charged automobile. custom-built too. at first I thought it was a cord. then he encounters the kerby's at the spot of their demise. at least we learn that dead people meander not too far. the humor's not forced. it just ain't there. the preface of the story is really lame. the kerby's drive to the bank with george mistaking his legs for his arms and I suppose that was funny in 1937? marion kerby is what? playful, flirtatious or just plain annoying? IMDb has nothing but praise for this film but I'm sorry. constance bennett was annoying and roland young was flat. yeah, I know his character is supposed to be flat but not the whole film. very overrated.

I just thought the whole thing was dumb. I like the TV series much better. lucia? gimme a break. hope lange and edward mulhare did it much better.

Duke as genghis khan?...yes! it worked because duke made it work.

I think the kid up on the podium with no name is the sanest person in the whole film.

I thought she was hot.

evans evans was hot if you ask me, kinda reminscent of verna bloom.

majorie main as Ilsa in casablanca?
