Rusty said: Do I really believe what I said my two preceding paragraphs? Maybe, I am just cynical and a curmudgeon? Yes. I really believe what I said my last two paragraphs and I am a curmudgeon. Heck, I did not even talk about the usual scandalmongering during presidential elections. You are right ...

Hi Ken123: 12 Angry Men is one of the 'watch whenever it's on' movies for me. If I'm channel surfing and land on it, I'll watch it to the end. I've already seen it countless times, but always catch something new. I saw the TV remake with Jack Lemmon in Fondas' part, and if I had never seen the origi...

In 1950 there was a movie made by the name of Mrs. O'Malley and Mr. Malone, starring Marjorie Reynolds and James Whitmore. It was to be the beginning of a series but that idea never happened, and I don't know why not. It was a terrific comedy/mystery. Main and Whitmore played off each other perfectl...

Has anyone seen this documentary? It's on the Western genre going from the silents to about 1960. Towards the end, it says something to the effect that: 'All those great cowboys are gone now and we have to look to the youngsters like Clint Eastwood, and Kevin Costner to . . .' so I assume it was don...

Did anyone see a guy named Kucinich on Bill Maher's show last Friday? He's a Democrat and has some really good ideas from what I could see and hear. I like Obama a lot, but still feel he is still not experienced enough, although his intelligence level is high, and his public personna is very charmin...

Hi pktrekgirl: What you say is so true. I wonder just when the southern people are going to get it in their heads that the Civil War ended over 142 years ago. Having lived in Jonesboro, Arkansas for about 4 months in the early 80's, I know just what you mean about being a 'Yankee'. My poor mother-in...

Hi Everyone: Don't get me wrong about the term 'guilty pleasure'. See the last line of my original post. I love to watch certain movies with nobody around simply to enjoy them with no distractions, like kids asking questions, someone coming in and saying "Are you watching that AGAIN!", or ...

Hey Klondike:

You're de-aging quickly, be careful or you'll disappear!!!

Boy am I bored!!! There must be a billion Brando fans out there, and they're all watching the documentary.

Guess I'll go read the end of my ghost/drama/love/mystery book. See you later.

Hallelujiah:

So happy to see your name on the 'last response' in this column! I'll be talking to you soon.

BTW, see the e-mail I sent.

I've said before, I love them all. 77 Sunset Strip was my favorite, of course because of Kookie. Boy would I have borrowed his comb!!! But let us not forget the terrific Mr. Dan Tana, of Vegas and his 55 red Thunderbird convertible!!! Klondike: Is that Avatar a self portrait? What a handsome specime...

Hi Bob Hope Fan: Thank you for the laugh. I was trying to prevent bringing my dark feelings over from TCM by referring to marble mouth as Mr. Brando , but the truth is, I can't stand him!!!! I've seen 'On the Waterfront', Sayonara, and Teahouse of the August Moon', and I think that's a prettty round...

Hi Bob Hope Fan: You said your tastes are limited but you didn't say to what they are limited. So I'm going to throw a few out that are some of my favorites that are all playing this coming week. I think you know how I feel about Mr. Brando, so I'll ignore Mondays this month altogether but starting ...

I 'borrowed' this topic from TCM city to talk about tonights programming. One of my guilty pleasures is Free Willy 1, 2, and 3. I love all of them. I have them all on tape and often watch all three in a row in one sitting. Of course I pause now and then to make and eat dinner and other necessities o...

You said it all by calling it a mess. DeNiro (who I normally like a lot) was a little too over the top on this one. He turned Max Cady into a caricature. Mitchums' performance was subtly menacing throughout until the end when he planned on getting down to business. Until the houseboat scene, you rea...
