Worth seeing?

We must wait a few month before we can paint the wood because it is treated lumber. (snipped) finding bits of nails which have migrated two inches into the soil. It will all have to be dug out and sifted. We have estimated that this will involve approx. a full ton of soil! (snipped) My usual practi...

https://i.imgur.com/pbe8gqW.jpg Love your wire trellises. Looks like the original was made of dismantled wood pallets. https://i.imgur.com/Youizvh.jpeg Nice finger poking the prickly pear. The last tree I had removed was 80 years old and some large roots were left in the yard. A trail of mushroom/f...

Thanks all for the suggestions- I just requested Pelham One Two Three from my library. Apparently there’s a remake, I had to search out the one with Walter Matthau, thanks for mentioning him. Heh, they had to dumb down the title of the remake to 1 2 3. I watched The Godfather only once after initial...

oh I love him too!

Jeanette Basinger, for one, has discussed how difficult it is for actresses in their later careers to play ordinary women. Instead, they play Exaggerated Women. That’s an interesting observation… https://media.tenor.com/images/9ea59202e28d0bd67bdf50bb90b42296/tenor.gif … realizing I’ve become an Ex...

UGH, I have a book to warn you all from buying: Steve McQueen King Of Cool Tales Of A Lurid Life by Darwin Porter. MrTiki picked this up at a thrift store thinking I’d like it, oy. Just the cover-all photos of McQueen shirtless in beefcake poses- tells you what the author is focused on. I randomly o...

https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1789474964325749088 :( Aw thanks for posting… Very sad to hear he’s gone but he led a great life and thankfully left a bounty of work. He seems like a sweet sincere guy and I’m glad he felt truly appreciated, even lauded in his later years after decades of ridicul...

Well, I’m excited…I haven’t recorded/watched anything on TCM since January. I LOVE the Carnival highlight on May 3rd, being a sort of “carny” myself but most likely already have seen what's scheduled. Highly recommend Tunes Of Glory on May 22nd if you haven’t seen it. My memory of the story is faint...

https://silver.afi.com/Browsing/EventsAndExperiences/EventDetails/0000000123 AFI Silver Classic Film Weekend (June 13-16, 2024). No titles have been announced yet, but there have been so many Precode-era films restored recently, plus AFI can screen stuff tied up in rights issues....I've ordered my ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our favorite Pre-Code Princess: j. lunatic! https://giphy.com/gifs/maudit-maudit-josephine-baker-zG5U5ZfBiWDLi" In real life she’s a blonde beauty more in tune with this celebratory gal- https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c5/ee/1b/c5ee1bc5aa53dca50bb39d095ccc60a1.gif So glad we di...

I don't want to side track the conversation, just wanted to add that from the first viewing of the horrible Sheba cat food commercial , I've been disgusted that that ad is allowed. I'm annoyed every time I see it. The Lume commercial is also disgusting but not dangerous the way the Sheba commercial...

I saw a couple of episodes of Cybill online and wanted to see more because it seemed fantastic (and I loved Cybill on Moonlighting), but never got around to it. I LOVED it when seeing it in re-runs. The “Dr Dick” schtick got a bit tiring, but I could see desperation/obsession in those kind of Holly...

I have never seen CURB YOUR ENTHUISAM. We just began watching it. We were looking for a sitcom to binge and well, there’s 12 seasons. We loved Loudermilk but that was a scant 3 seasons. Curb Your Enthusiasm is funny, but the schtick gets tiring episode after episode. MrTiki likens David to Woody Al...

I've never seen an episode of MSW and I do like Angela. 😆 Me too- I feel so left out! Also in the camp of never seeing Big Bang Theory, Home Improvement, Raymond and very few Seinfelds, Simpsons and Golden Girls. Obviously never been a TV sitcom gal. Last one I watched episodes “as released” was BB...
