i swear I'll shut up about DEATH ON THE NILE but I have three final musings and an extremely esoteric observation to make, but SUE ME, I'm sharing them: 1. anyone else wonder if they threw LOUISE BORGET''S BODY to THE CROCODILES? 2. What if DR LUDWIG BESSNER was onto something and ARMADILLO URINE I...

[quote=Hibi post_id=200675 time=1716226502 user_id=849 The early 70s was not a good period for movies. As the 70s progressed it got better. [/quote] See, i feel the exact opposite- as someone who has come late to viewing films of the 70s, the early 70s and especially 1971 have a lot of interesting ...

What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one.

MISS PATRICIA NEAL in HUD played a character named ALMA- for which she won THE ACADEMY AWARD

Please, God tell me she’s not named “Calliope”…

Roman Brady ? All I can think of is “Kristen” but I didn’t think she came around until the mid 1990s… (Lexie too) EDIT- wait I see where I misread your post- sadly, while I am well-versed in days of our lives during the 1990s, it was impossible for me to catch it during the 1980s because it was on ...

Devil Girl from Mars (1954) This movie is available for viewing for free with commercials on: TubiTV. 8/12.6 ALSO ON TUBI TV (I am pretty sure, but I could be wrong) is the RIFFTRAX VERSION of DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS with BRIDGET NELSON and MARY JO PEHL, but honestly, besides the line "LET'S BREX...

Any discussion of FASCINATING YEARS IN FILM would not be complete without a mention of 1971 - a year with a lot of innovative, daring, violent, visually dazzling films- where the spirit of THE GOLDEN ERA had a FULL ON COLLISION with the present, and I don't think any film encapsulates how MARVELOUSL...

At the risk of sounding like Jimmy Carter, there was a "malaise" that settled in over films in the second half of the '70s. This is not to say that there weren't some excellent titles that were still released in these years. What is true though is though that there were a convergence of e...

Poor Debra Paget...

It’s cool, she lived.

Howcum Brooklyn is a fairly popular name but Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island aren't? It's because there is a character named Brooklyn (actually Brook Lynn) on General Hospital. Soap operas have driven the popularity of many names. One of my cousins was named after a character from DAYS ...

Yes, I had a great-aunt named Gertrude, an aunt named Ethel. My parents were introduced by a woman named Edna. When I was looking up Max Showalter, his parents were Ira and Elma Showalter. We have to remember that Gertrude and Ethel were the Taylor and Madison of their day. Or that Taylor and Madis...

Restoration (1995) : Why did I even bother? what was especially weird was this came out at THE HEIGHT of MEG RYAN'S STARDOM and my sister wanted to see this SO BAD (she was a history major and loved the time period), but this was also the HEIGHT OF ANNOYING RELEASE HABITS BY "INDEPENDENT"...

THANK you KINGRAT and CINEMAINTERNATIONAL for your 1978 RUNDOWNS . Really though, in the years 1927-1999 , I would say there are obviously some INCREDIBLE YEARS like 1939 AND 40 AND 1962, some amazingly innovative years like 1971 or 1968 and some years with no great but lots of good films (1995 or ...
