  1. what about that one with stuart Whitman and janet leigh?
  2. Godzilla is so badass Ghidrah needs three heads to take 'em on.
  3. what about the roaring twenties where cagney dies on the steps of a church?
  4. duke wayne, America's greatest movie star.
  5. sounds like the one where shelley winters shoots john Garfield for terrorizing her family and threatening to kill them. Garfield collapses and croaks leaning against a car.
  6. when I was younger I never appreciated how excellent son of Frankenstein is. today it is to me the best of the Frankenstein universal movies.
  7. it is easy to defame and maybe not so easy to take a longer view incorporating a modest degree of understanding and recognizing that incendiary defamations and mocking hateful remarks which may in the end not be the best way to go.
  8. American liberalism has been shooting for decades now for a society where there is both civil and economic parity even though no such condition has ever existed perfectly throughout the course of human history while the condition of the rich and the poor has persisted continuously throughout that same human history. I have sincerely wondered if the democrat party could have achieved more for minorities and the poor if they had taken a more realistic approach to the solving of these problems rather than doing the easy thing which has consisted of name-calling and wholesale defamations.
  9. one of the free on demand movies on my system. think I will watch it late tonite while enjoying a nestle's crunch bar and a cup of milk. bon appetite.
  10. you cannot ask for respect while giving none. Lillian Gish disrespected for starring in one film is not just. it is unfair and petty and yes even hateful. I accept that Birth of a Nation is racist having never seen it. the hateful pettiness of the left moves me to question the genuineness of their professed motives which for decades they have been claiming is tolerance and civil justice. can Lillian Gish apologize for appearing in the film? no, she is dead. can Hattie McDaniel apologize to the naacp for appearing in GWTW or song of the south? no, she is dead.
  11. what about john huston's unforgiven?....it is supremely stupid for liberals to attack the past for it cannot be changed. this is an unfortunate petty judgmentalism of the left and they deserve the multitudes that they will lose as a result of such hateful idiocy.
  12. look mom, I just erected a pup tent in the backyard... you need to send me to college on an engineering scholarship.
  13. but could millennials or Generation Xers have ever built the Brooklyn bridge or the golden gate bridge? those men were guided by a strong worth ethic as opposed to a leftist-induced nanny state 'gimme' sense of entitlement.
  14. "those shoulders are real, fellas."
  15. decided to watch this one available free on demand last nite. a fred macmurray saturday matinee oater I had not seen before because I certainly woulda remembered a disappointing stinker like this. not really a stinker but might as well be. a psychological oater I doan need. well-acted but the story goes nowhere. the film opens with the high speed horse flight of a gang of robbers pursued by a posse. here's the first thing I see I doan like. nice eastman color look but the title lettering they make black and it just doan look good against the color desert background. so they ride into a deserted desert town because their horses are stressed out and that's where the pointlessness begins. these people start psychoanalyzing each other to pass the time. head guy is Heller played by john larch, a cynical bully. fred macmurray is gentry the smart one who should be the leader. john gavin is an eastern greenhorn turned outlaw and along is the gorgeous dorothy malone as heller's wench and she is hot with shots of her bare shoulders. the psychoanalysis begins. macmurray and larch size up each other. then larch starts bullying gavin and macmurray starts trying to instill self-worth into malone. oh brother. we need this? oh, there is also gato a white man who's loyalty lies with a nearby group of apaches led by victorio played by michael ansara. gato wants ansara and his apaches to hit his friends for no apparent reason than hate even though later on at the end he knows macmurray won't plug him for his mindless treachery being an honorable man so he runs into the desert once again seeking favor with victorio. unimpressed victorio has one of his men give gato an arrow. earlier some aged minstrel-prospector comes riding in welcomed by evil heller who will murder him for his horse. he sings the ballad of john coventry a famed desperado who he recognizes macmurray as being. by then the wench dorothy malone figures out she doan need a man despite participating in a holdup and fleeing into a hot inhospitable desert. john gavin the eastern greenhorn teach falls for the wench which ticks of heller but then later he has a change of heart and says sure take my wench leading up to a gunfight and then coventry takes out heller... then victorio makes his move and that's when I had enough. turned it off and went to bed.
  16. ya gotta give it to dana trying to fly a B-17 with no engines.
