I agree with what you say. That's interesting about the search engine.

I noticed that the ratings still for movie showing right now used a different view of a different building. The most common building used in the ratings logo photo during the last week or so -- the one with the rounded corners -- is not the Chrysler Building. http://www.cepolina.com/freephoto/f/eUSA.New.York.NYC/Chrysler.building.skyscraper1.jpg http://www.davidliam.com/images/gallery/chrysler_building.jpg http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/images/3b12479r.jpg http://www.skyscraper.org/Pics/fav_chrysler.jpg http://en.structurae.de/files/photos/1/270897/000035.jpg http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/20th/chrysler.jpg http://www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com/bigmap/manhattan/midtown/42ndst/eastriver-sixth/17chryslerdetail.jpg http://www.nyc-architecture.com/MID/MID-chrysler-scan.jpg http://www.claytoncramer.com/pictures/BookTourNYC/IMGP1038.JPG http://petergof.com/nyc/images/chrysler_close_s.jpg

If you like Warren William, they are good. But not as good as his Perry Mason movies.

Yes, that is a building. It looks somewhat like an art deco building, and the camera is tilted toward the left (counter-clockwise) so the building looks like it is tilted toward the right (clockwise). The curve is a corner edge of the building. We can see the left side of the building, the curved edge of the corner, and the right side is slightly in the shadows. The slots are windows in the building. The building looks a little like this one. http://www.pbase.com/image/80765801.jpg This is not the same one, but it has a similar type of rounded corner.

>Just wondering, Fred....Why do you think that "Make Way For Tomorrow" is a "terrible" movie? Only because it was depressing to me. When I see movies, I want to be cheered up. If I want to be depressed, I stop watching movies and look at real life. I don't want to be depressed BOTH by real life and by movies.

Up above the first post on each thread, there is a sentence that says "watch this thread". If you click on it, it will change to "stop watching this thread". The threads you are "watching" are indicated by a little "binocular" symbol. That tells you which forum and thread you are "watching". The symbol looks like this:

Did you sign on as two different people?

Terrible movie. I saw it once but I?ll never watch it again.

A French movie, known as "He" in the US: http://poll.imdb.com/title/tt0023412/releaseinfo'>http://poll.imdb.com/title/tt0023412/releaseinfo'>http://poll.imdb.com/title/tt0023412/releaseinfo'>http://poll.imdb.com/title/tt0023412/releaseinfo http://poll.imdb.com/title/tt0023412/

1938 version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030410/ 1933 version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024411/

Wiki says there was a TV show made about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bloody_Benders#See_also When do you remember the movie being made?

That's the film where James Mason was an IRA man in Ireland. TCM aired it a couple of months ago. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039677/

Here are some of Autry's earliest songs, where he imitates Jimmy Rogers. http://www.venerablemusic.com/catalog/TitleDetails.asp?TitleID=11027 I used to collect old 78 rpm records of early folk music. Here are some early Autry songs you can listen to: http://www.geneautry.com/musicmovies/musiccds/geneautrybluescd.html It's hard to believe it's Autry, since it sounds so much like Jimmy Rogers.

He sounds like Vernon Dalhart when he sings! In fact, he was purposely singing in the Vernon Dalhart style. There were only three people to imitate back in those days: A.P. Carter Jimmy Rogers Vernon Dalhart http://www.archive.org/details/VernonDalhart You can hear Ann Dvorak singing Dalhart's "The Wreck of the old 97" in the 1932 version of "Scarface". (If you can find some of the earliest recordings of Gene Autry, you'll hear him imitating Jimmy Rogers.)

Oh, it's when things (especially electronic and board things) start to go wrong and people get upset and sometimes paranoid about it, and sometimes they blame other people who didn't have anything at all to do with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street

As a journalist I paid attention to and covered security matters starting in the early ?60s. I researched security matters going back a long way. Basically the main internal security investigations in this country started with Roosevelt?s National Security Directive of 1939: ?Foreign agents and those engaged in espionage will no longer find this country a happy hunting ground for their activities. There will be no repetition of the confusion and laxity and indifference of twenty years ago.? http://www.fas.org:80/irp/ops/ci/docs/ci1/ch4c.htm The reference to ?twenty years ago? refers to the haphazard federal investigations of anti-Americans, spies, and anarchists in 1919. (See the movie ?Reds? for details about these investigations.)

What is amazing to me is the vast size of the studio and facilities in 1925.

"Oppenheimer" wasn?t so much of a ?biography? movie as it was a leftist Hollywood film that attacked our American security agencies for keeping track of people who had high-level government security clearances related to the building of the atomic bomb. These frequent leftist media attacks against our security agencies in the ?70s, ?80s, and ?90s eventually led to the security lapse that allowed the 9-11 attacks to take place. This security-agency lapse and the 9-11 attacks led to the quickly written and oppressive ?Patriot Act?, and that is why you and I and ALL Americans today are thoroughly photographed, scanned, groped, and searched at airports, sports arenas, and major concert halls. Back in the ?40s, ?50s, ?60s, and early ?70s, the security agencies kept track only of key government people who had top secrets and other people who were most likely to commit anti-American crimes, while the rest of us Americans were free back in those days to go to airports, arenas, and concert halls unwatched, unsearched, ungroped, unphotographed, and unmolested.

>Sure you meant it. No, I didn't mean to insult anyone here. People express their opinions -- both good and bad -- about movies all the time. It's the script I was insulting. It was silly. When people criticize my favorite films, I just don't read their critiques. Let them have their opinions. They are perfectly free to have their opinions. There is no need for me to be insulted about it.

Yes, he did seem a little paranoid. I think that was a good effect, since we knew he was telling the truth.

>are all you care about then TCM Don't be silly, John. You need to contact the heads of the 30 networks that air made-for-TV movies. The problem is, once someone gives certain network executives wacky ideas, they start thinking of ways to save money on film rentals, and sooner or later you'll wind up with another AMC. This is what AMC did. They started showing made for tv movies because they were cheap to rent. Now the Cable and Satellite channels are filled with made for tv movie channels, and they are all junky. Go watch the Bell film on YouTube.

>Where are all these movies? Why are we denied the chance to see them again? Go ask the managers of the 30 channels that show made-for-tv movies. If I want to see The Twilight Zone, I watch it on the Sci-Fi channel.
