I enjoyed Pat Morita's humiliation of Martin Kove in The Karate Kid Part II.
Or was it part III?

I can recall no contact with intelligence while I was in the military.

QuoteI know of it because I have long had an interest in electronics and it is a hobby of certain man whom I will not name except to say that it is Capuchin.
A lucky man.

Interesting....I've never heard that before, that Henry Higgins was gay ! However, it might explain the absolute lack of chemistry between him and Eliza; and I mean whoever is playing those parts, not just the "My Fair Lady" version. * It's impossible to imagine Henry and Eliza kissing, let alone anything else.
* Of course, neither Leslie Howard nor Rex Harrison were gay, as far as I've ever heard. No, it's the character of H.H. you're talking about, I know. Still, did you read that somewhere, or do you infer it from the story itself?
Maybe TikiSoo assumes all aristocrats are gay?

Digital gauges which refresh at frequencies higher than approx. 4Hz become unreadable blurs if the voltage is not stable. That means that they are showing the average voltage of the last one-fourth second. A surge or spike which exists for a new nanoseconds is clamped to prevent damage to the digital circuitry and the readout does not represent them in any manner.
Analog gauges work in real time. A surge or spike will make the needle twitch even if there is not sufficient time for the needle to move all the way to point to the proper reading on the scale.
A person with a digital voltmeter may be confident that they are measuring a constant 9VDC while remaining totally unaware that there are at one second intervals 4000VDC spikes lasting two nanoseconds.
A person with an analog voltmeter will read also 9VDC but the needle will not be steady. This indicates the presence of transients which must be investigated separately.
Thank you, SansFin.

Who'll Stop the Rain has to be one of the more explicit films that I've ever seen on TCM. The language is very rough for a 1978 film, and given the subject matter (involving Nick Nolte, Tuesday Weld, and Michael Moriarty caught up in a drug carrying deal), it should come as no surprise that there are many graphic scenes of drug abuse, all presented unflinchingly. I watched it for Weld, and she delivered with an absolutely stunning performance.
I always thought it was a very good movie. Watching it again this morning reinforced that opinion. Nolte is so much better in this one than he was in the previous year's The Deep.

I watched this last night. I haven't seen it since we taped it off of TV years ago. It's a fun little movie and well-acted. It's the usual formula of boy-meets-girl and they loathe each other at first, but we all know where it's going. The only difference is they are stranded on an island and being hunted by pirates. Funny and sweet. I would buy it.
I got tired of waiting for TCM to show it, so I bought a DVD of it on Ebay.

I had completely forgotten how adorable & appealing Segal was as a young man and his comedic talent really shines in this role.
I'm a huge George Segal fan. I collect his movies on DVD as much as possible - from TCM and from DVD's.
Superb comic actor and a damn fine dramatic actor as well.

Janis Carter astride a little mini Mustang motorcycle, circa I'd guess 1945 or so...
Are those her birth control pills she's looking at? In 1945?

The FCC used to limit the amount of commercial minutes per half-hour or hour. The rule was eliminated in 1984 as part of the deregulation movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Some modern sitcoms on the legacy broadcast networks have 18 (!) minutes of content, leaving 12 minutes for commercials or network promos.
That's why I watch old shows on DVD. Reno 911, NewsRadio, SCTV and Abosolutely Fabulous are complete series I've purchased when I could get them cheap.
The public library is also a great source for complete series on DVD. Curb Your Enthusiasm, Barney Miller, The Office, The Larry Sanders Show, Inside Amy Schumer, Louie and Home Movies are all complete series I've borrowed and copied for my own library. Tons more to do.
Then there's complete series I watch using the Tornado Movies site - Sons of Anarchy, Deadwood, Girls, American Horror Story, Boardwalk Empire, The United States of Tara and Dexter are just some of the complete series I've watched on Tornado.
No commercials, no ever-present station i.d.'s, no missing parts.
