I saw Monkey Man this week. Although I had read a bit about it, I wasn't quite prepared for the violence. The level of blood and gore in the film would even impress Fuad Ramses! But it's more in the line of Bruce Lee. The film has been called a "gory coming out party for Patel." A skinny ...

According to Rick Derringer, Dickey Betts, who died today, was once a member of the Jokers, the group referenced in the following tune:

I love Lana Turner's white lampshade chapeau in BACHELOR IN PARADISE. Still waiting for CALL ME BWANA. Bachelor in Paradise is one of the better 60s Bob Hope films because it is genuinely funny. He and Lana made a good pair here, and of course Paula Prentiss was her usual professional self. For tho...

For sagebrush:

The Wind by Victor Sjostrom which I caught just today. The later years of the silent era (25 -29) were some of the best cinematography around and I would maybe hesitate only a little to say the best years of cinematographic, visual beauty in all cinema. It really died overnight in 1929. I wish a pr...

Thanks for reposting, Allhallowsday.

It's surreal listening to this song in the Expedia ad, Allhallowsday:

... Of a pair of your recent posts, the following song was likened to early Pink Floyd if I correctly recall reading, Allhallowsday: https://youtu.be/WLLoA41-th8 I think THE WHO influenced FLOYD more likely, the organ is reminiscent of the first 2 FLOYD but those albums aren't great for me. THE WHO...

... As with " Great Expectations " , a high school required read/view, the Dickensian "Silas Stingy" eventually gained in favor for me, Allhallowsday:... I first read GREAT EXPECTATIONS in 1974 or 5 in jr hi our teacher showed the 1945 DAVID LEAN film and the class tittered ever...

Coming from motocross - fifty years ago a prime interest, it's surreal, Dargo, I wondered about the Triumph of THE GREAT ESCAPE : I once thought that it might have been a Maico used because of the 1963 movie's German setting, eventually learning otherwise... With T C M's screening of THE BOY in the...

That's cool you got to visit it: Seems a necessary pilgrimage for you, Dargo. Yep, it was. This museum, and in addition the then recently built new and modern Triumph factory which sits about 20 miles east of it in a little town named Hinckley, were a couple of stops my wife and I made while doing ...
