    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Murder in the Air (1940) with Ronald Reagan as Brass Bancroft, Secret Service agent, and Eddie Foy, Jr. as his partner, Gabby Watters. One of four movies featuring Reagan as that character. This one deals with an "inertia ray" that makes the electric components of a motor sort of blow up...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Wanting to make Friday night even more Friday-er, it was the dependable whiskey sour.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Mannequin (1937) with Joan Crawford, Spencer Tracy, and Alan Curtis. Crawford wants out of her poverty-stricken New York family and life, and marries fellow Hester Street dweller Eddie (Alan Curtis) as a ticket to happiness. This being the 1930s, and Crawford being Crawford, melodrama...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    We watched the premiere episode of Debris, but did not find it compelling. Maybe with another episode or two it will engage. Still working through Murdoch Mysteries and Monk. Waiting for the return of Brokenwood Mysteries.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Thin Red Line (1964) with Keir Dullea and Jack Warden, dir. Andrew Marton. I remember seeing this on network television a long time ago. Author James Jones worked on the screen play, so what we see might be close to Jones' vision of the story. I read the book after watching the film, and it...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Sweet Smell of Success (1957) with Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, and introducing Susan Harrison. The Missus had never seen it and didn't quite know what to make of it. The dialogue is unbelievable - "You're dead, son. Get yourself buried," "That's fish four days old. I won't buy it." and my...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    55 Days at Peking (1963) with Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, and David Niven top-billed. The action scenes are epic. I don't know how much history they left in the story. For me, the tempo drags when there is chatting and flirting. Nonetheless, it provided a couple evenings' pastimes.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) with Fred MacMurray and a boatload of familiar faces, because the grandkids were over. Did I already post about Keep Your Powder Dry (1945), with Lana Turner, Laraine Day, and Susan Peters? If I did, please excuse the oversight. Good wartime service comedy...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Rediscovered The X-Files on Hulu. Working through season one. Didn't really catch it the first time around, so there's a lot of background and exposition for the series arc that we're just now getting I'm thinking a lot of exteriors were filmed in Canada, which accounts for many cases situated...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Last night, it was The Shining Hour (1938) with Joan Crawford, Margaret Sullavan, Robert Young, Melvyn Douglas, and Fay Bainter. Famous dancer Crawford marries Wisconsin rich guy Douglas and returns to their mansion to live with bro, sister-in-law, and critical, judgmental, inflexible older sis...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Thanks! Your recipe is very similar to the one I inherited from my mother - both my folks were from Oklahoma so home cooking in my house was different from my west coast schoolmates' meals. And yes, "yellow cake" is what many folks think is corn bread. Thanks again for sharing-

    Do you make the cornbread from scratch? I would be interested to hear your recipe.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Beast of the City (1932) w/ Walter Huston, Jean Harlow, Wallace Ford, and Jean Hersholt, who went on to portray kindly Dr. Christian on radio and film, as a mob boss. A preface quotes President Hoover urging more films that glorify law enforcement and not criminals. What followed was much in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Blue Dahlia (1946) with Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, and William Bendix, dir. by George Marshall. Supported by Ward Cleaver, just out of the service, and before he snagged that cushy insurance job. Tough talk, tough characters, and tough situations, which is what one expects with a story by...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Finished all the seasons (14) of Life Below Zero on the National Geographic section of Disney+. There seems to be another season out there; anticipating it becoming available. Will try Port Protection on the same service as a placebo 'til the real thing comes back. Watched a couple episodes of...

    When watching Buckaroo Banzai, keep an eye out for Dr. Lizardo's hospital orderly/guard: it's Jonathan Banks, eons before Mike Ehrmantraut.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sort of similar to that might be Life Below Zero, as found on the National Geographic part of Disney+. Folks aren't buying houses, but are carving out a life in some of the toughest parts of Alaska.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    On the NBC streaming service, Peacock, it was S1E1 of Murder, She Wrote, a series I have never seen, followed by a Columbo mystery, Murder by the Book, which is I guess the second entry in the series. The Missus liked Murder... , not so much Columbo. Waiting for Ellery Queen to surface, and the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Lady with Red Hair (1940) (definite article "the" missing) with top-billed Miriam Hopkins, supported by Claude Rains and a host of others. An old-fashioned biopic from Warner Brothers of Mrs. Leslie Carter and David Belasco. Rains is an absolute thief when it comes to scene-stealing, although in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Cause for Alarm (1951) with Loretta Young and Barry Sullivan, dir. Tay Garnett. Young plays the wife of bed-ridden Sullivan, who thinks she's two-timing him. Most of the story takes place at home, and it makes one think it could easily have been done on tv's The Loretta Young Show. The Big Heat...
