Just a side note to this subject...one of the great things about Blu-ray discs is that because of their coating, they don't scratch (unless you use a jackhammer or something). If you get fingerprints on it, take a tissue, wipe off the fingerprints, looks like new. If you get fingerprints on a DVD, take a tissue to it and even a gentle wipe will leave scratches.

I have been very impressed by Kyle's incredible Memorial Day poster thread. I hope you are all checking it out. It has inspired me to do a Memorial Day post of 15 comic book patriotic war covers from WWII.

Copy Thanks, Kyle, for posting my favorite Patriotic war poster of them all. It was painted by N.C. Wyeth.

The difference is that Barney Miller is set in the present age, not 1930s.

While watching this week's Boston ****, my mind went to my own favorite B-series, the Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
There were so many. Among them:
Blondie
Tarzan
Ma and Pa Kettle
Francis the Talking Mule
Frankenstein
Dracula
Charlie Chan
Mr. Moto
The Falcon
The Saint
The Three Mesquiteers
Maisie
Mexican Spitfire
Dr. Kildare
Andy Hardy
What's yours?

Of course watching this. Enjoying it, in my parlance (as opposed to the overused digging or grooving on it).

k_m, since you are new here, you didn't know that you should not post the same thread in all the forums. Just once in only one forum will be sifficient.
As clore mentioned below, TCM is showing six different Dorothy Dandridge films on Tuesday night. As to the war films showing this weekend, James Edwards costars in The Steel Helmet on Sunday afternoon.

Here's a picture of the scene.
The Valachi Papers was produced by Dino De Laurentiis. Maybe he was having the towers in here in preparation for the movie that would feature the next big crime...the Jessica Lange remake of King Kong.

Thanks for the link! That was really enjoyable! I had a smile on my face the whole time.

Kyle, I just went all the way through the thread you put on this one and thank you more than I can say. *OK Corral* is my favorite Western and the parodies were hilarious. MAD was so good at this. >
> The Miss Beverly Hills pieces were hokey but showing just how far the comic book tie-in extended with regards to TV series and films, as well as how far back in time, was enlightening. I got more of an answer than I ever expected. Thank you!
Hi, wouldbestar, hope you don't mind me answering to your reply. I am glad you liked seeing the Gunfight at the OK Corral piece. Yes, the Miss Beverly Hills were hokey, in the same way that the Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis comics were, but enjoyable. By the way, I hope you are looking at the second thread I had to create because the first got to be filled so with so many images it would take awhile to download whenever it was opened. I have started adding more material to it, and you will soon see another story from Miss Beverly Hills and one from its sister comic, "Miss Melody Lane of Broadway."
Here's the link to the second thread. You've got some catching up to do:

infinite1, that's true in some cases. Some things in comics don't translate always that well to the movies. Ha ha, we should be thankful we can see a movie star onscreen in a superhero outfit without us laughing at the absurdity.
However, there have been some fine adaptations of stories from comics. In particular, I am thinking of The Watchmen and Spider-Man 2.

*Pillow Talk*
I just got the Blu-ray UK digibook and it looks great! Region free, same extras (just no DVD, which is okay) and the digibook continues Universal's tradition of having the best-designed Blu-ray books (All Quiet on the Western Front, To Kill A Mockingbird, Buck Privates). And the film looks terrific! If you don't care about the DVD, get this from the UK. A lot cheaper!

I have never seen this (that I recall) and was getting into it until a scene where Bronson in the 1930s drives a car into New York harbor at night. All good...except for the twin towers of the World Trade Center in the background.
Kyle, I just went all the way through the thread you put on this one and thank you more than I can say. *OK Corral* is my favorite Western and the parodies were hilarious. MAD was so good at this.

re: Helen of Troy...it wasn't.
re: Stallions...now that you mention it, I have this vague memory that there was a tour with them playing locally when I was a young lad. I don't know if I saw them.
