Re: Special 4th of July feature--coming late! Celebrates all 50 states!

Isn't Daughters of the Dust set in Georgia? The barrier islands where Gullah was spoken were off the coast of Georgia, if memory serves.

Westchester is not upstate. You have to get to the 518 area code to get to Upstate New York.

Re: I Just Watched...

KEN RUSSELL made a film for BBC TV in the mid-60s called THE BIGGEST DANCER IN THE WORLD which made a huge impression on my 7 or 8 year old mind when it was broadcast out of NYC. EXCALIBUR is the only film of his I can say worked for me. ZARDOZ has some things in it I like, but it is really just a ...

Re: King of Hearts (1966)

I remember when King of Hearts played in my local theater, a few years after its initial release. It was on a double bill with Bergman's Skammen/Shame. I was a teenager and was really looking forward to this "cult" film, but I was far more engaged with the Bergman movie. Swithin, I saw Sh...

Don't forget a small appearance by a young and highly fetching Barbara Eden. :D

Re: I Just Watched...

I watched Lana in Love Has Many Faces, which is objectively not very good, but still entertainingly bad. Unfortunately, it's not as entertainingly bad as The Big Cube.

Re: I Just Watched...

I was also very impressed with Heather Angel. I wish TCM would show more of the films she was in, but many are early Fox or Paramount films. The only film I know I have seen her in is The Last of the Mohicans (1936) with Randolph Scott. I'm a fan of Ms. Angel as well. She's very good in The Mystery...

Re: I Just Watched...

I apologize that this is off-topic for this thread but I am very curious as to attitudes and beliefs of those here on this matter. I have been watching: Picket Fences (1992–1996). Am I suffering a significant cultural disconnect or is this series totally bonkers? You should see Skerritt in Big Bad ...

I thought he killed the dog because the dog was digging under those flowers and was going to find something (I want to say the knife) that was buried there.
