Re: Jon Stewart leaving the Daily Show

They would be insane to not cast a woman. Is Samantha Bee still one of their reporters? Sarah Silverman is pretty vulgar. But pretty much everything passes these days. Amy Sedaris could do it. As Mrs L said, they could go with someone not known to the masses. That would probably be best! Tina Fey or...

Re: Bad Movies You Love

I didn't even like the book. Oddly, I can't remember if I've seen the movie!

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...

I had never seen WEIRD WOMAN. Not bad! Manipulative ex-lovers, jealous teenagers, stalwart and stodgy Lon. Not to mention voodoo, curses, and jungle superstition! No big surprises. Not something I'd watch over and over. But old-fashioned and satisfying. I believe this is my second Inner Sanctum movi...

Re: Comedy - Romantic and Otherwise

I like "dramedy." But you're right. Sometimes the story just can't find its way. Like it's torn between the two directions. Woody Allen's CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS is like that. Good movie. Some call it a great one. But it leaves me thinking, What was that? I haven't seen the film you've des...

I didn't know that about Levon Helm, Professional Tourist. I've heard the Elton John song, but never payed that much attention to the words.

Re: Ben Johnson

I watched THE LAST PICTURE SHOW again. It's a movie I admire, but there's one story element that's vague to me. *****************SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!********************** When Sam dies, he leaves a thousand dollars to the preacher's son. Why? The natural cinematic conclusion is that ...

Re: Biopics

Gene Siskel liked the actor who played Loretta's father. He said he probably wouldn't be nominated for any awards because he didn't look like he was acting. He looked real! Gene must have been right. I have no idea what the man's name name was!

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...

Holy cow! WEIRD WOMAN is on next week. I haven't seen this, but apparently, it's an Inner Sanctum mystery with Lon Chaney, Jr. If there's anything more appealing on TV next Saturday night, I'd like to know what it is. I don't know about anybody else, but this is my Must See TV! As for yesterday's pr...

Re: New TCM General Manager...

I should not have assumed the relation to Bob Dorian. The first time I saw Kiefer Sutherland, I thought, "He looks like Donald. He sounds like Donald. Gotta be father and son." I think I was right about that one!

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...

I'd almost forgotten the old Svengoolie thread. But it deserves mention that HOUSE OF HORRORS is on this weekend. Our old friend Rondo Hatton as The Creeper! My brother would never forgive an oversight of this camp classic!

I haven't seen this classic TV show since I was six!
