I'm still watching it, and it is interesting, although rather weird. Many of these kinds of primitive people did exist in the old days, but generally not so many with guns and family fueds living so close together, because they would have killed each other off. But before that, many would have moved away into some other valley or on some other mountain.

I'm trying again to get through it, but it has always seemed a little odd to me, and everyone in it, who lives in that community, seems crazy. I prefer seeing rural mountain people like in Sergeant York.

Here's a photo of young May Robson I got off the internet:

SEPIATONE SAID: What I'm dealing with is that once I click on "Back to General Discussions", I wind up on a page that has threads dating back to 2003! I have to click on "Recently Updated" to get back to the current threads. At the top of this thread, to the right of the SEARCH feature, to the right of this thread's title, see: VIEW NEW CONTENT Click on that and see if you can click on: CONTENT I HAVE NOT READ or: NEW SINCE MY LAST VISIT or: PAST 24 HOURS

Test:

Part of the problem might be IE. As of April 8, Microsoft is making changes and is trying to discourage the use of XP and IE 8. I had to switch to Firefox. I eventually had to go back a few pages and remove the * stars from IE 8 posts because they no longer worked on this board. Now I just click on the letter B in the post message page, and my text goes bold. I can un-bold it too.

I usually keep it cool in my computer room. But the bugs and spiders who live out here in this climate, prefer warm weather, and so, if they get inside my house, the warmest place they can usually find is inside my electronic gear. So they often make their homes there.

UPDATE: Ok, I finally got my favorite repair technician out to my place (he makes house-calls), and he worked a couple of hours on my computer, adding new anti-virus programs since Microsoft Security stopped working a few days after April 8, and so did my IE 8 and other XP things too. He added a bunch of new ram chips which doubled my ram capacity, and he switched me over from IE 8 to Firefox, and now my computer is working very well, even with XP. It is much faster now, and everything on the new message board works, and the board pages load very rapidly. He also started a defrag program which seemed to help speed up my computer. He took my tower outside, opened it up, and cleaned a bunch of dust and dirt out of it, including some dead bugs and spider webs.

Angel and the Badman (1947)

I've never heard of it. Tell us about it. Here's a brief trailer:

The olden days are gone, Jake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCiXXKGLwqQ

Ann Savoy, her husband, and one son, plus others, singing South Louisiana Cajun music, which is my favorite kind of American music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMwjW8q4x_Q&list=RDaMwjW8q4x_Q

Finance, I think you got it right. That always seemed like a very odd movie to me. How could she not recognize her own brother?

I saw that amazing scene with all the heavy wagons being lowered down the cliff. But I agree with you that the time to turn back was BEFORE the cliff.

I saw most of The Conqueror 1956 on YouTube last year, but it seemed so corney, with Genghis Khan sounding just like the Duke, with a Western accent. I think YouTube doesn't have it on anymore. You might try a Google Video search of the title and year and see if any other website has it on right now.

It looks wide-screen to me. And a pretty good print.

THE BIG TRAIL (1930) is a pretty good movie. One of the most authentic-looking Westerns I've ever seen. The old style large Conestoga Wagon:

Holden, I’m usually fascinated with information about alternate endings when they turn up, years later, about films we think are “perfect”, such as the totally un-needed scenes of Walter Neff, in Double Indemnity, going to the gas chamber. Fred

That sounds ok to me.

Back in the Cold War days of the early 1960s, I remember covering a news story about some visiting high-level Soviet writers, poets, and literary experts on an official tour of the United States and speaking engagements at several major universities, and before the open press conference and interview session all the American reporters were told privately, in advance, by a Soviet representative, a list of several subjects that they could not ask questions about. Such as politics in general and US/Soviet relations, etc. It was an odd and amusing press conference because none of the American reporters knew much about poets and literary subjects in general and nothing about any Soviet writers of any kind, so they didn’t know what kind of literary questions to ask, and it was a difficult press conference for both the reporters and the Russians to get through.

There is no future in debating this subject. I debated some people in late 1999, and the issue became confusing because of the two different calendar systems and because of what people thought was right or guessed was right. During the latter half of the 20th Century, I most often heard the term "the turn of the 20th Century" generally meaning Jan 1 1900. Google searches turn up both phrases "turn of 19th" and "turn of 20th".

Yes, three great movies! Ahh, I remember it well.... the 20th Century and all its great old movies. I really liked The Iron Curtain (1948) I thought it was fairly realistic for a film about Russian Communists and government officials. . They were often played in movies of that era like American gangsters. The ending of the film was really exciting. I think this was based on a true story. I remember reading something about it years ago. Igor Gouzenko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Gouzenko Fred
