Wonderful to hear, Holden, thank you.
Congrats in advance for your tenth anniversary. NYC is especially beautiful in October. I know you'll have another lovely experience.

Re: Coming up on TCM...
I kind of like the puppets in LILI but have never truly understood Leslie Caron's appeal (along of course with Mel).

Re: For Bronxgirl48: Mother's Day
A Music Box Godzilla marathon? I'd fly into The Windy City just for that!
Of course, MOMMIE DEAREST ("Don't f*ck with me, fellas! This isn't my first rodeo!") and THE BIRDCAGE ("Fosse! Fosse! Fosse!") aren't exactly chopped liver...

House Hunters and House Hunters International marathon.
Every episode: "I can picture us having coffee on the patio"
Even if they don't have one.

And I'm not even any sort of rock-ribbed pull-yourselves-up-from-the-bootstraps type of person but that screenplay really pissed me off!

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Edward G. Robinson is wonderful in everything, even a Norwegian farmer in OUR VINES HAVE TENDER GRAPES. Apologies to Margaret O'Brien fans but I only tolerate her in every movie she's ever been in just to enjoy the other actors I do like. I always felt "Tootie" needed psychiatric help. (th...

Re: For Bronxgirl48: Mother's Day
I still miss Chicago.... Well, maybe not in the winter. Yes, except for the winters, Chicago is the best city in the US (in my opinion). Having lived there ten years I am inclined to agree! Friendlier and less expensive than my old New Yawk City hometown, although I must admit I also yearn for Da B...

Mel Ferrer is usually a film's weak link.

Re: I Just Watched...
WE WHO ARE YOUNG: Pre-WWII Depression era social drama, not from Warner's in the mid-1930's with, say, John Garfield and Priscilla Lane but MGM in 1940 starring John Shelton (more animated as a ghost in Abbott & Costello THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES) and poised-for-stardom Lana Turner as his wife. We...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I remember reading The Circus of Dr. Lao when I was a teenager. It's a fairly racy book (and a very short one), much more so than the movie. In parts it even gets a little Sinclair Lewisy. I haven't seen the movie in years. It's okay, especially some of the special effects, but nothing special. [/q...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I've got the overly sticky homefront drama TENDER COMRADE on in the background. This was criticized as being "collectivist" because a bunch of women decide to share a house waiting for their sweethearts to come home from WWII. It may or may not be, but regardless, I find this movie very bo...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
To unsophisticated Western eyes, "they" are all Asian and so the same. I remember in THE CIRCUS OF DR. LAO, scruffy old cowboys comment on Tony Randall walking through town. "What's a Japanese doin' here?" (he might have said "Jap") -- "He's not Japanese, he's a Ch...
