One of the other fun things about THE MIND READER (1933) was that many of the women's costumes featured one of the more curious fashion trends of the time, which was to have TWO ENTIRE MINKS WITH HEADS and GLASS-EYES AND CLAWS ATTACHED, sort of lashed together and wrapped about the body- giving off ...

I recall in our little discussion after you watched Poor Things that you said that Ruffalo and some other guy were really bad in it, and I know I said that I think you were referring to Carmichael, whose performance was really slated in online Oscar talk circles. Having not seen the man in Poor Thi...

EVER SINCE they shuttered YE OLDE MESSAGEBOARDS I have had the hardest time watching what used to be one of my favorite genres of film- PRECODES, because I missed our discussions of them (and also I'm STILL mad at TCM.) that aside, I checked out THE MIND READER (1933) - a curious little precode wit...

We just watched "The Case of the Treacherous Toupee" on Perry Mason. Season 4, Episode 1. William Talman is back as Hamilton Burger, so the team is reunited. And who is that handsome young man playing the no-good stepson? Why, none other than Robert Redford. What a treat. yES! I watched t...

In the Cut (2003) was one of the biggest cinematic scandals of the early 2000s. There is a lot of nudity. It has some of Lorna's most hated film people all on one film (Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jane Campion ). no lies detected on JJL or Miss Campion, BUT...I was literally thinking the ot...

I KNOW THE WIG and the episode you mention, but for my money- the official worst wig in MSW HISTORY appears in HANNIGAN'S WAKE (which is an otherwise GENUINELY Interesting season 7(?) episode with a good part for BRADFORD DILLMAN and the last appearance of VAN JOHNSON on the series.) they hired a 38...

LOL. Yeah, I remember that young apprentice or whatever he was. Maybe they were trying for a spin off? There were a lot of young, handsome actors, but a lot of old, ugly ones too! A lot of older Hollywood types appeared also (not big stars, but people like Fay Ray; Colleen Gray; Marie Windsor etc.)...

(Not that PERRY would've noticed) Speaking of, I can't help but take interest in the fact that over the course of the seasons, numerous PERRY MASON episodes feature bit parts for lean , boyish ...

i was always bummed we never got to see ADELE. Would've been an EPIC GUEST ARC for MARY WURONOV**. **Who, yes, I know- appeared in the season 2 episode JESSICA BEHIND BARS. LOL! I just saw JESSICA BEHIND BARS over the wknd! Which role did [MARY WURONOV] play? ONE OF THE GUARDS, I mean, c'mon, that'...

she makes BARBARA STANWYCK sound downright DULCET-TONED in comparison.

(she is of course chained to the table and DELLA pays her in cigarette nubs, of which there are plenty) EDIT: and yeah, she gets high on the correction fluid- who THE HELL are YOU to JUDGE? LMREO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone lights up on this show! Did Della ever puff? I don't remember her smoking. I'm r...

oh wow, I didn't know they ever showed GERTIE on the show (PERRY MASON) I always thought she was a "MARIS"- shows you what happens when you only have access to syndication. I always pictured GERTIE as working out of THE BROOM CLOSET and looking more or less like this: https://i0.wp.com/blo...
