Masha, you & I are in similar situations. Had a major (28x50, 2-story) addition to the house framed out probably 20 years ago, but every time I started to work on it, life "stuff" got in the way. Restarted the wiring at the beginning of summer, so, of course, Mother Nature decided to t...

Unfortunately, a more realistic scenario (imho) is that this will encourage people to seek out the grey market. :smiley_huh: I really wonder if even that'll happen. Old coots like me will find/watch movies & series, but if my grandkids are typical, those of HS & college age don't seem to be...

I can't watch these reboots: Magnum, Quantum Leap, Hawaii 5-0, MacGyver, etc. They're terrible. I think it's because in many reboots the actors are doing impersonations of the original actors & not making the charactors their own. Don't agree with that for the new Quantum Leap . New characters ...

Now where's the fun in that?

I too remember you from the TCM board, but I was mostly as a lurker there even though I visited Gen Discussions every day (65 posts from 2005 until closure was announced ).

On a PC, Reply is the double quote button ["] towards the upper right corner of the message, just left of the avatar. Don't know if it's different for mobile devices.

You'll soon get the hang of it, I'm sure. Welcome!

Good to see you here too, I Love Melvin. Some of the users add their former TCM name to their sig.

Ditto.

Also Ditto.

CinemaInternational wrote: ↑October 8th, 2023, 12:17 pmDefinitely not. Very few films have ever been on my bad side so much as that one....

Yeah, kinda got the impression that the only positive thing for you was maybe that the title was spelled correctly.

So I guess you didn't like the film, CI?

Now that I can relate to.

Did you go to Warren G Harding Elementary School? Yes from grades 2-8. Grades 7-8 were in the same building that Shep used; grades k-6 were in a new brick, 2-story building across the street. At that time, it was the largest grade school in Indiana. Since I lived less than a mile from the school, h...

The movie changed the locale to Cleveland - ironic in a way 'cause his childhood home was on Cleveland St, but in the Hessville section of Hammond, Indiana. The movie A CHRISTMAS STORY was filmed in Cleveland, but it is set in the fictitious Hohman, Indiana, substituting for author Jean Shepherd's ...

I dislike A Christmas Story and never warmed up to it. I find the charactors mean and belittling to each other, not funny. Same here. You'd think that since the author, Jean Shepherd, grew up just a couple of miles from where I did, that it would appeal to me at least on some level. Nope. I even we...
