    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Pacific Rendezvous (1942) w/ Lee Bowman, Jean Rogers, and a host of others. Very much a programmer, with Bowman as combat-hungry Naval lieutenant who is also s top-drawer cryptologist. Rogers, whom I remember almost exclusively from the Flash Gordon serials, plays a childish ingenue who sets her...

    What Podcasts Grab Ya?

    Just finished American History Tellers podcast about the roots of the Great Depression. From there jumped into their presentation about J. Edgar Hoover: first episode succinctly sets the historical stage of the early 20th century politics and Hoover's start in what was designed to be a Federal...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It Came From Outer Space (1953) with Richard Carlson, Barbara Rush, and several faces that you'll know. Surprisingly well done science fiction story, filmed, it appears in the Mojave Desert, the Lucerne area, and Victorville. Story by Ray Bradbury, dir. by Jack Arnold. The Missus rolled her eyes...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Finished the last series of Corner Gas, followed by the Corner Gas movie. The Missus and I enjoyed it very much, kinda bummed it is gone... We started The Mill, about young folks working in the linen mills of England around the 1830s. Grim, but we're interested.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Friday night was definitely How Much of a Couch Potato Can We Be? Night: first, the remake of Aladdin with Will Smith, courtesy Amazon Prime; then, Ladies They Talk About (1933) with Barbara Stanwyck as part of a gang of bank robbers, and Preston Foster as an evangelist-political reformer who...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Gin and tonic, because the limes are ripening and I want to use them up. Beefeater gin and store-brand tonic.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Started the TCM restoration of Greed, the 1924 von Stroheim project that was essentially a page by page filming of the book McTeague. Inter-titles and production stills are used to fill in some of the blanks.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Finished the last season of the George Gently series, courtesy Acorn streaming. Will be missed. Started up with The Brokenwood Mysteries from 2014. A New Zealand tv series about a quirky detective from an urban police department who settles in the country town of Brokenwood, it has clever...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Catching up on the thread here-- the Missus and I watched Gambit (1966) with Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine, on the surface a heist movie, but with several twists and turns. Then it was The Little Giant (1933)(not the one about Stephan A. Douglas) with Edward G. Robinson and Mary Astor...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Thanks to Amazon Prime, I'm revisiting tv shows from years and years ago, commercial-free. Peter Gunn (season 1, episodes 1 and 2) with Craig Stevens as a dapper, jazz-friendly PI, and Arnie Nuvo--- I mean, Herschel Bernardi, - as the world-weary police lieutenant; Danger Man, later revamped...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    Just watched Tombstone last night. Turned on the subtitles because my hearing is getting lousy: was surprised at the amount of... er, ah, well, "rough" language that had gotten past me in previous viewings. The story is loaded quotable lines, and one of them is Doc Holliday's comment...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    TCM has the Summer of Stars special, so we watched Cry 'Havoc' (single quotation marks are in the title) and A Letter to Three Wives (1949) in the salute to Ann Sothern. Cry 'Havoc' (1943) reveals its origin as a play by showing most of the story in the Philippine Islands bunker/dorm/bomb...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    For television, it's mostly working our way through the George Gently mysteries, stretching out the Crime Story season 2 episodes, and test-driving an occasion episode of a series to see if we're interested.

    What's for Dinner?

    The Missus' home made bean-less chili with veggies, cayenne, potatoes with bacon crumbled up as a topping, because we're do the Whole 30 diet.

    What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?

    Another Phil Harris - Alice Faye broadcast, Leaving for Chicago, from May 4, 1947 Jack, Mary, Rochester, Phil, Dennis, and Don from March 2, 1947, in which the president of sponsor American Tobacco doesn't like the fact that Jack fired the Sportsmen Quartet, and there's a scramble to round up...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Invasion USA (1952) with Gerald Mohr, Peggy Castle, some other folks, and several hundred feet of grainy stock footage from WW2 and maybe the Korean War. Ostensibly the characters watch an Admiral tv in the local watering hole as "the enemy" (who appear to be Russians) bomb the US and drop...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    An episode of Love and Marriage from 1959 with William Demarest and Jeanne Bal. He's a crusty widower with lifetime roots in Tin Pan Alley music publishing, and she's his up-to-date daughter. She invites him to live with her and her husband and two daughters (in a set reminiscent of Make Room...
