He once said, "I've never attended a baseball game I didn't announce." Hmm, not even as kid? He should come out of retirement and announce the one this afternoon.

I always look in the right places. For those who don't know me, be not fooled by my avatar ....

Good one! I was listening to the radio that night. Vince Scully said at the top, "... and tonight they are filming a movie called [and here he changed his voice to a to a tone of mock suspense)] "Experiment in Terror" A truly great shot of Don Drysdale peering towards he plate for a sign, and then that patented and wholly singular poetry-in-motion wind up and throw ... and another great shot, that of Harvey Kuenn lacing a double down the left field line. Both of those fine though relatively unspectacular baseball moments immortalized in celluloid. ///

Uhhh ... ooh-kay

This sounds familiar. Deja Vu ? BTW, I don't know Dana's movies or anything about her but I thought she was charming.

You call this a dialogue about Baseball? Nay, a Dodger I am not. There is no team I despise more. In fact if they lose to the Cardinals (O please God, make it happen, make it happen!!!) It well be Nirvana. I sympathize with the players even though I don't like them very much. I just think their manager is a punk. Thank you, MissW, for being so nice back. I was a little rough on you. I humbly as your pardon. I am ancient enough to be solidly ensconced in Geezer territory and therefore suffer acute episodes of FuddyDuddyIsm which make me only too aware of how crappy today's game is. Being a "dedicated baseball fan" only for a few years exonerates you completely. My target was not you anyway but Major League Baseball itself which is only a shadow of what it was. I am proud to announce (though the warmth of your heart may go with the wind) that I don't have a favorite team as it would be sheer humiliation to care enough to have one. Hockey anyone? Number of days till the season starts: 6 woo hoo //

And to perpetuate the side-conversation about baseball and with all due respect, excuses like that mean very little. In Baseball (as well as other team sports) inequities like that abound with such frequency as to be not mentioned anymore. The Dodgers with a stellar record of 106-56 just happens to be in the same Division of the Giants, 107-55, and therefore must be subjugated to that perilous one-game sudden death Wild Card Game when The Atlanta Braves, 88-73, waltz into the playoffs as a Division winner because they happen to be in a weak division. St Louis, 90-72, has a better record than Atlanta, but must play the one-game wild card game while Atlanta does not. Seattle, 90-72, has a better record than Atlanta and they did not even make the bloody playoffs at all. You have a right to be disappointed but the no one listens to those kinds of complaints anymore, they are so ubiquitous. I'm sorry for your sake that your team is a victim but they are certainly not alone. Thanks, MissW, Peace.

IMMENSELY entertaining interview, THANKS, Sagebrush. This is a radio interview for anyone who possibly might not know (although the name Jerry Gross, the interviewer, has been doing FRESH AIR for centuries and is one of the most excellent interviewers ever) and I found myself thrilled to hear the sound bites from some of the film noir classics. The beginning of Double Indemnity, for instance. And the final scene of Criss Cross was downright hilarious, but not in a way that ridicules. We all know Eddie Muller but this isn't old stuff, he speaks to the larger mass audience and it comes across rather wonderful, differently than taking to us who are movie buffs with a particular interest and knowledge of film noir. Eddie refers to the Production Code a couple of time early on and I kept waiting for Ms. Gross to ask Eddie to explain that but she doesn't. She later explains it, ha. We get a little of Eddie's personal life, especially as a kid. Eddie has a wonderful way of talking, so well spoken and knowledgeable. Of course we already know that but it's good to hear him talk to the greater audience. Is he some kind of treasure, or what? Yes, he is. i certainly recommend this to all, thanks to Sagebrush, thoroughly entertaining.

I'll go with that. It may not be the best but is somewhere in the top two. It's a comedy, no question. *** Factoid : Two ladies engage in a rather mordant (if that's the right word) conversation in "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut", a story by J.D. Salinger. It appeared in the famed volume entitled NINE STORIES. One of the women was describing a relative (or a boss, or something) and referred to this person as resembling an "unwashed Nehemiah Persoff." Doesn't sound too complimentary, does it. Well, at least Nehemiah outlived J.D., that's his revenge.

Wow, there's Jerry Paris, America's favorite next door neighbor in a sitcom (or in the running anyway) I performed a google search and see how much stuff he actually, including directing lots of sitcoms. I thought he did well, What is the opposite of "wooden" as some actors are? Free and loose, uninhibited, etc., whatever, he was a convincing sort of regular Joe. Not to cast aspersion on the fair sex, but what's he doing with her? Anyway ... Help me with this. I seem to remember a role he had where he played someone who was really into eating steaks. That's all he talked about. That wasn't Jerry Helper was it? I don't think so. Maybe I am thinking of someone else. // ps ... maybe those nails were plucked out by the roots ... ouch!

"Some say why do I wear a hearing aid in this picture, but I say..." Yes?

How cute! 🌷

Not bad. Inspired, even. And funny too, so a joke too (maybe). Agree, most heartily. There's nothing to him. The only role I only remotely admire, was The Departed. Mancrush. Great onscreen presence. I certainly agree on Hanks, but I don't understand the comment about Kevin Costner (who I really can't stand). What does ..."but others have caught up to me by this point." ???? Have you been browbeaten by others to now like him? ! Do we need to direct you to the door? Shall we have someone show you out? There is not enough flack in the entire world to sufficiently be heaped upon you.
