I'll get that Connie Willis book at the first opportunity. Thanks for the tip.
Can you imagine a future where flesh and blood film actors are superfluous.
I don't think this will effect (affect) star actors (do you like you're favorite actor or actress merely for their acting ability, or because they turn you on in ways that can't be reproduced by a computer ?).
There's going to be a massive slump in the job market in the movie industry, not merely for actors. No more carpenters, electricians, cinematographers and a thousand other jobs associated with movie making.
At least the end credits will be shorter.

With the increasing sophistication of computer generated graphics, I predict that within the next twenty to fifty years we will see new films featuring deceased classic actors.
Cary Grant as James Bond ? certainly, why not ?
I read a story by Howard Waldrop (I think), in Analog or Asimov's back in the 80's about this very subject. About a pirate movie production company making movies entirely generated by computers, with Clark Gable, Bette Davis etc. He even mentions the legal complications over image rights (there are some cases in the courts at the moment concerning actors or the estates of actors trying to put a legal lock on the future use of an actors image).
If your conception of computer generated images in movies in limited to Disney cartoons or flash-bang special effects in sci-fi movies, then you havn't been paying attention.
The next Star Wars movie with Errol Flynn as Obi Wan Kenobi, why not.

Yes, Ruby Keeler.
A bit overrated in my opinion, but she had very nice thighs.
I don't think she was in the 'Wizard Of Oz' though. You may be confusing her with Ruby Slippers.

For those of you who liked the the Christmas Carol that was sung in the movie, here's a very nice version I found on the internet. Sung by a very good church choir.

The song is a medieval carol called 'Lulay my liking', and this modern arrangement for choir is by Gustav Holst.

On July third TCM has an evening of 'Wizard Of Oz' related movies and documentaries. Good ol' TCM.
However, it's a shame that they havn't included the Disney movie 'Return To Oz' from 1985. It's a wonderful (but dark) little film featuring Nicol Williamson, Jean Marsh, and an excellent performance by ten year old Fairuza Balk.
I presume that TCM has limited (if any) access to Disney movies.

Forgot to mention the movie -
Murder by Death (1976)

Is it -
Elsa Lanchester - Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
David Niven - Separate Tables (1958)
Peter Falk - Castle Keep (1969)
Alec Guinness - Oliver Twist (1948)
Peter Sellers would probably fit in here somewhere.

What do you do when you find a space man ?

I didn't accuse you of being a man. I said "Take it like a man".
Now stop 'glowing' and solve the puzzle.

You got it MrWriteLA (about time to).
JDB, take it like a man and stop whining. I spend many long minutes doing extensive and in-depth research when formulating these questions. They are 100% accurate and come with a money-back guarantee.

I'm not cryptic, I'm enigmatic and mysterious (sometimes described as "full-of-s**t").
Don't apologise. I was agreeing with you about the proliferation of threads on the same subject.
I'm sorry if I made you cry.

As a variation to this thread, I would like to know what is your 'Favorite All-time Scary Flick!'.
Horror movies can be described many ways, 'interesting', 'atmospheric', 'shocking', 'gory', 'Laughable' etc. But in my experience very few of them can be described as 'SCARY'.
I would like to know what you consider to be a genuinely 'Scary' movie. I must say, the 1963 version of 'The Haunting' had me going for a while. It's not the kind of movie to watch alone in an old dark house.
The few movies that have thrown a scare into me were not within the 'Horror' genre.

I always try to use pre-existing threads to offer comments on a particular subject, instead of creating a new one. This thread is three years old.
Finding old threads that have dropped off the radar, on a particular subject can be a problem, particularly if the thread has a cryptic 'subject' heading.

I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as Joanne Woodward in her bathing suit.
Wow
I have to lie down now.

The movie with the prosecutor was based on real events. He went on to become Attorney General of the United States.

You've come this far, you might as well finish it.
This is one of the easier ones.
I've been stumped lots of times, but did I give up ? - Hell no !
Let's recap the clues -
Mailman - The name of an actor, and the movie in which he appeared as a mailman.
'First hung in Philadelphia' - This vague clue is to suggest that there is also a painting of the mailman in a Philadelphia museum (there are also paintings of him in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles and several other places).
Therefore - Think of a movie in which the referenced actor played a mailman, who was also the subject of several paintings. This should reduce your choices to a single movie.
Lyric from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. The name of the movie is not directly mentioned, but the name of the leading actor and his problems were mentioned.
Now get with it, and don't let me hear any more talk about quitting. This is hard-core trivia for tough-guys. That's why the wimps don't come in here.

No, no, no.
You're way off.
Clue #2
A reference to this movie can be found in the lyics to one of the songs from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'.

I usually wait three days before giving a clue, just to drive you all crazy.
Clue #1
The mailman was first hung in Philadelphia in 1912.

That and her concrete hair-do.

I think this maybe too easy for you.
A skeptical State prosecutor, thinking to expose a charlaton, is given the slip by a mailman. With the help of a Secretary for a freight company, he manages to return the favor before all hell breaks loose.

Is It ?
The Reluctant Debutante (1958)
Rex Harrison - Anna and the King of Siam (1946)
Kay Kendall - Les Girls (1957)
Sandra Dee - Gidget (1959)
Angela Lansbury - Gaslight (1944)

The film could be 'Blowup' from 1966. But it was English, not French.

Jeez, I did'nt expect the Spanish Inquisition !
It was just a case of sloppy editing and alcohol.
I know what you're up to, you think you can intimidate me into submission by attacking my grammar. You're a desperate man (or woman) CineSage_jr, to resort to such low and underhanded tactics.
Well, I'll fix your wagon Buster. It seems that 'Bad Grammar' is your week point too, and I shall continue to fill my messages with typo's and bad spelling just to aggrivate you.

Dear CineSage_jr
I was hired because of my fine body and sexy legs, not for my ability to type or spell correctly.

Dear ladygodiva
Just because you changed wallpapers it doesn't mean that the image has disappeared from your hard-drive. Look in the 'My Pictures' folder, or in the 'My Downloads' folder. If you remember the filename, do a search for it.
