Let's just say it's the midwest. Lots of fields and crossroads to pass before you get anywhere.
As a kid I woulda hated that, but as I grow older I crave it more

Pretty much. Town of 10,000 in a rural county. The place about 40 miles away has about 250,000 people, but otherwise, you have to go at least 60 miles to another place over 100,000 people.
If you don't mind what state? I grew up in NJ & NY but have sadly been down here since 1982

Always read the strong reviews for '73's ICEMAN COMETH with Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin, Fredric March & Jeff Bridges-(who says he learned a ton from those guys at only 23 or 24)
However has it ever been on the network?
Leonard Maltin says Ryan towers above all with his performance

AMC's closest to where I am is about 40 miles away. A few years back, in 2016, they bought two of the three big theatres in the city (I never was to the one,m the other I haven't been since Decemeber of 2015). So now, if they go under, that city will be down to only one theatre.
Not to poke around at it, but are you pretty much in the sticks?
The net as great as it is is ruining not only jobs but lives, familes,etc

Remakes That Were Better Than the Originals is probably a good topic thread. I personally prefer the Warren Beatty/Julie Christie Heaven Can Wait to the Robert Montgomery/Evelyn Keyes Here Comes Mr. Jordan, for example, though that one's good, too. There are probably others, though I don't really feel like thinking too hard this close to bedtime.
we seem to be in the minority, always loved the '78 version better & that marvelous score by Dave Grusin

Just to set the record straight I was not demeaning or questioning my dear colleague's TopBilled personal taste for marathon movie choices. I was pointing out that TCM would probably never schedule the Columbo programs for viewing on the network. I am also a big fan of the Columbo television series and I would welcome watching a marathon of this classic television series on DVD as well.
After many years of waiting for METV to place this classic television show back on its network and finding out they have it schedule at the ungodly hour of 3:00 A.M. on Sunday I just purchased for my marathon watching pleasure the "Mission: Impossible" television series on DVD. I don't have the patience or want to sit and watch an entire season in one sitting during self-isolation but the one or two shows a day which I watch are so enjoyable and a lot of fun as the Impossible Mission Force take down governments, dictators and the Mafia in their own special way.
On another tour guide bus in TINSEL-TOWN in Nov. 99 we went down the long famous ROXBURY DR & all these German ladies literally demanded the bus to stop because we were at PETER FALK'S humble home

To bad you did not get to see her in her prime & closer circa l987-l990 & even onward She's always all over the net & people keep asking the dumbest questions, about how come of her contemporaries she's still here (W. HOUSTON, M. JACKSON & PRINCE) because she loves pot-(or grass as she calls it) & never did the hard stuff She'll be 62 come August 16th, ironically the well known death date of ELVISll
-
Guess you didn't like her show then overall huh? My mother went to SLY & THE FAMILY STONE in the mid '70's & he briefly came out & left & they didn't get their$$$ back either

Remember THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, how ironic that it would really happen someday
Pretty certain that was TEXAS too

Gone or almost gone are the sole standing theaters ala IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE & all I have those little IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE Christmas 0rnaments-(about 5) & it's movie theatre is among them & on the marquee it says THE BELLS OF ST. MARY'S (l945) also RKO
HOLLYWOOD itself still has a few & there is a hugely famous place in Tampa even non moviegoers know of THE TAMPA THEATRE-(Est 1926-)

Haven't been to an AMC in decades. Cinemark is the closest megaplex to me - just a little over a mile. I spend more time at Angelika, though.
where is Angelika?

At the time of its release, I think more people were concerned about the depiction of Satan standing among the Jews and what that implied. But of course Mel has made it quite clear about how he feels about the Jews.
yeah, he lost it that night with the cop, but more so when his girlfriend recorded him staggeringly and violently yelling drunk, threatening on the other end and a long call too
he didn't just yell things that evening with the cops, but blacks as well his father raised him to hate jews
HOLLYWOOD has always loved to forgive, hence his several nominations only a couple yrs ago for HACKSAW RIDGE
I was wrong about them forgiving OJ though, obviously as for ROBERT BLAKE, he couldn't give a damn & said so after being acquitted said he was gonna just CIOWBOY IT from then on, 87 now

M won the Golden Globe fir EVITA (l996) ($51m.) but failed to garner an Oscar shot for it In Guinness world records though it holds the record for most costume changes with over 134
Her real name is MADONNA, Madonna Louise Ciccone
If you ever want to catch her again in concert l990's BLONDE AMBITION TOUR-(ijn France) is the mt. summit
Matter of fact I went so far about 6yrs back to get a huge tattoo of her from VOGUE on my right thigh!
cost over $300.00
as for pure acting, the one thing she hasn't conquered though
thanks for your input

No, I'm pretty sure it was the MDNA tour, so 2012, I guess. Longer ago than I realized.
Yep, that was about 3yrs before RH She only a few weeks ago injured her knee so bad falling off a chair in France during rehersals it's double the size of the ther & they thought she may have to have surgery If she wasn't such an athlete to begin with it obviously woulda been a lot worse (Penn's the one that got her working out so much) & had to cancel last leg of her MADAME X tour-(which I must admit the music is far from her best to put it mildly) If you've seen her with the x eye patch on her left eye-(which was always worse) that's from this tour Fans got their $$$ back though She also made 26 movies to date
THANK YOU

Briefly got to correspond with her via links/connections, but it's been a longtime She loves the net BIG-TIME!
Mostly now Instagram she loves best She goes through more fazes then anybody & has altered her appearance more than anybody in entertainment history
Doesn't like being called just a singer though but a performance artist
Recently left the country-(though still keeps her NYC places) for London & of all places THE MALDIVE islands

Ha ha, the only time I ever saw Madonna live was six or seven years ago. The concert was scheduled to start at 7. She took the stage at 10:30. It was a Sunday night. I didn't get home until 2 am and had to start getting ready for work at 5:30. So, she was really not my favorite person for a while. It was like $100 to get a fairly crummy seat, too. But if you have videos that start the concert the second you hit Play, that's probably the best way to watch her.
YOU ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE HER IN PERSON THOUGH! In general her fairly good seats are $250 Where was it by the way, the recent REBEL HEART tour?

Boy, Phil Hartman was a genius whom I didn't fully appreciate while he was still alive. In my younger more callow days, he kinda struck me as the requisite middle-aged guy to play all the dads and authority figures on Saturday Night Live. But Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer? Frankenstein? The Sinatra Group? And his characters on The Simpsons and News Radio? Genius! I believe he was also the co-creator of the whole Pee-Wee Herman concept, though and Paul Reubens I guess ultimately had a parting of the ways.
Yeah, he got it bad, at least he was asleep at the time, huh He did an excellent SINATRA as you listed, never pd much attention to him until that role & it was down here in Sarasota, Fl where Pee Wee-(Paul Reubens) had his infamous adult movie encounter with the cops Pee Wee certainly didn't look like his image in the mug shot

If I had to choose a film genre it would be classic comedy

I've frankly never adapted to binge-watching in the ten years or so I've been aware of its existence. Usually one movie or maybe two episodes of a TV show is about all I can take before I've got to do something else. The smartphone/social media age has ruined my attention span like most people's, I guess. Once in a great while, I might watch as many as three or maybe even four movies in a row on TCM if the theme really grabs me, but I'll bet I don't do that more than two or three times a year. Two movies is usually my absolute limit. I've always professed a love for baseball, but even that is getting hard for me. I think the average time of a Major League baseball game last season was about three hours and seven minutes. That's a movie and a half, typically. I'm usually getting squirmy the older I get in the late innings unless the game is a real nail biter, which depresses me, because I always used to be a defender against the charge, mostly by younger people, that baseball is slow and boring. But I am no longer averse to just going to bed and finding out the result online in the morning, something I once never would have done.
Anyway, all that is to say I personally won't be having any movie marathons even during these times. But I've found the discussion interesting.
The only thing I binge watch anymore=-(not movies) & I know a lot hate her is MADONNA, but not her videos, but her epic over 2hr concerts-(a dozen of them) my record with her is 26hrs straight
I hate when people only think of her from the vids-(which I also love) but haven't seen these concerts She can literally play every single instrument up there too
as for movies as I said if I had the choice Hollywoods Golden Age-(l925-60) straight threw The only motion pictures I've somewhat binge watched are the first 2 GODFATHER epics

Yeah ANCHORMAN ($147m.) is a fun one & the famous COWBELL skit opposite CHRISTOPHER WALKEN on SNL is great
See, him the late PHIL HARTMAN were the new breed of SNL, trying to get away from the drug rep they had, but in it's heyday with JOHN BELUSHI, AYKROYD, BILL MURRAY & others
RECORD HOLDER for most times as a guest host is A. Baldwin & Steve Martin 2nd

I mostly to the closest Regal nowadays, but AMC does keep films a longtime, they have just gotten so cheap & still are the same $$$ cheap as in a sloppy unkempt mess & when I went to MARY POPPINS RETURNS months ago the screening rm must not be much bigger then my living room

I would almost certainly love the desert areas more now then the tropics/humidity/bugs of down here SINATRA loved the desert most of all Palm Springs which is more then 45 miles east of LA, still have his pad-(only 1 floor) & was then interred there with his family in '98
