Nope. Clue #2: Nazis search for a killer

It does seem like the Usual Suspects lifted a bit from The Mask of Dimitrios. Clu Gulager #1: Eastern Europe WWII

Congrats Ken, you got it.

No, even more alcohol than that, if you can imagine it. Clue #2: Car chase with cops

Clue #1: Lots of alcohol

Stewart's deliverance of the line is perfect.

Which one? We have a few Teddy Roosevelts here.

Rear Window (while the composer plays his piano in the apartment across the courtyard): Grace Kelly: Where does a man get inspiration to write a song like that? . Jimmy Stewart: He gets it from the landlady once a month.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939).

It Happened One Night?

I thought it was MoveOn.org.

Sam, Sam, Sam ... still apologizing for the Ten. You really need to read an objective book(s) on the HCUA hearings. Then, you'd find out that 1) the HCUA had nothing to do with censorship, they tried the Ten for aiding and abetting an enemy of the US (I'd hope you'd like the same thing to happen to people who give al-Qaeda money and support); 2) Hollywood blacklisted the Ten, not the government. The studios knew that Americans wouldn't want to see movies that employed proven Stalinists and that it would kill them at the box office. For an example of how a movie bombs when it's biased politics aren't popular with the people, look at Spielberg's Munich. The word about it's morally equating the deaths of terrorists with the deaths of innocents got out and the public wants nothing to do with it. It hasn't even made its money back yet. As for the censorship of these cartoons, I agree with you. They should be shown in their entirety. Maybe they could also issue a disclaimer about how the champions of liberalism ran the Confederacy and voted agaisnt Civil Rights, and how these cartoons are indicative of the racism that is the root of "their" times. A good companion piece to those cartoons would be today's recent liberal cartoonists' portraying Condi Rice as a House N' and an Uncle Tom. That really would put the so-called "progressive" perspective in historical context, showing how little they've progressed after all these years.

I'll have to see if ebay has it on DVD, I can play Region 2 PAL on my player. I remember when The Day After aired here. There was an announcment at my high school the day after The Day After, over the PA, and they were concerned that those of us who watched it might have been scarred for life. That's the only time they ever showed an interest in our home lives. They must have had some newspaper asking them questions so they could spin how horrified we all were ... not.

I checked over at the Cartoon Network message boards and they're talking about the Miyazaki flicks on TCM over there. That explains all the tantrum traffic this month ... I don't think these kids ever heard of TCM before this. Thank God for ADD, it'll be all over soon.

Planet of the Apes: Dr. Zaius: I see you've brought the female of your species. I didn't realize that man could be monogamous. Taylor: On this planet, it's easy.

Though it will never end up on TCM, the movie 28 Days Later was a very sobering, and depressing film.

Maybe a Syd & Marty Krofft month, with Puf'nStuf and The Bugaloos, while TCM runs itself into the ground.

The Night of the Hunter ... Mitchum: "Ah, little lad, you're staring at my fingers. Would you like me to tell you the little story of right-hand/left-hand? The story of good and evil? H-A-T-E! It was with this left hand that old brother Cain struck the blow that laid his brother low. L-O-V-E! You see these fingers, dear hearts? These fingers has veins that run straight to the soul of man. The right hand, friends, the hand of love. Now watch, and I'll show you the story of life. Those fingers, dear hearts, is always a-warring and a-tugging, one agin t'other. Now watch 'em! Old brother left hand, left hand he's a fighting, and it looks like love's a goner. But wait a minute! Hot dog, love's a winning! Yessirree! It's love that's won, and old left hand hate is down for the count!"

Melanie, you're just going to have to button it, you're ruining the TCM programming for us all. From now on just say the opposite of what you think and how you feel about movies so we can see our Montgomery nights unmolested. How could you?

That would explain things. Or it could be an old Yakuza trick. Fred, you're the conspiracy investigator, do you think there's a Yakuza conspiracy here? Perhaps Winters was bumped off to disrupt programming in order to make the American Montgomery look less important than a Japanese filmmaker.

C'mon Fred, do you want to make the kids cry? That's a good point. I wonder why the anime got the VIP treatment over Montgomery. Why not any other day of the week when the line up is more mundane?

Hey, that would make a great commercial. : )
