The Era -- Day By Day
If this has been noted previously, I apologize. Nearly every daily comic strip posted in this thread has a comment across the top margin, along with the title. Someone had to come up with a wisecrack, or something approaching a pun or play on words, 5 to 6 days a week, for 52 weeks. As a former...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Design for Scandal (1941) with Rosalind Russell, Walter Pidgeon, Edward Arnold, and a host of others. Magnate Arnold wants news reporter Pidgeon to fabricate a scandal about judge Russell. Part rom-com and part screwball comedy; an MGM production, it's glossy, well-produced, and gives us...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Scarlet Street (1945) with Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Duryea. According to IMDb, it was banned in three cities not too long after its release. Rough stuff, close to the edge of The Code. (edit) About a week ago, The Lady Takes a Sailor (1949) with Jane Wyman as the head of a...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
Our tv show watching has slimmed down to reruns of Frasier, Mary Tyler Moore, The Bob Newhart Show, and the occasional Murdoch Mysteries. Some Blue Bloods, Blacklist, etc. We've run through the period dramas that we like, and are using up BBC travelogues at a rapid clip. Secret pleasure? The...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Ransom! (1956) w/ Glenn Ford, Donna Reed, Leslie Nielsen, and a host of others. Kept thinking it was a film version of a play, being pretty much confined to a house, but then found out it was a remake of a tv show from The United States Steel Hour from a couple years earlier. Krakatoa, East of...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Going back a week - A family member had not seen the Avengers Endgame movie, so we watched it again. Whew- almost every Marvel character but Kid Colt showed up. The Missus and I agree the closing little vignette is the best. Then, sometime later, it was Blossoms in the Dust (1941) with Greer...- Julian Shellhammer

Did I mention we're starting out with The Murdoch Mysteries, courtesy of Acorn (I think it's on Hulu as well). Period detective series, set in Great War era in Toronto. Clever plot twists keep us watching.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
If you have the time and inclination, the films can be moving. At times remarkable in the story and visuals, and at other times mired in politicizing, they nonetheless tell an out-sized story. An insider's view of Japanese imperialism, the de-humanizing effect of it and the wars that attends it...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) dir. by Orson Welles, with Joseph Cotton, Dolores Costello, Tim Holt, Agnes Moorehead, Anne Baxter, and Welles' stock company from the Mercury Theatre. Strong blend of stagecraft and cinema, yet flawed by Welles's visual and thematic darkness, and the studio's...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
The Missus and I started Land Girls season three, and then realized we had seen it already. We can't remember where - PBS, Netflix, Amazon? We decided to continue, because it's still fun. And, here and there, catching up on the dvr backlog of Bull, Seal Team, Blue Bloods, Blacklist, and...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
House of Bamboo (1955) dir. Sam Fuller, w/ Robert Ryan, Robert Stack, Shirley Yamaguchi, Cameron Mitchell. First US film produced entirely on location in Japan. The Missus, in her gracious manner, thought I'd like an old movie instead of Green Acres or Cheers, so she selected this one. Never...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
About a week ago, it was Double Harness (1933) with Ann Harding and William Powell (billed in that order), from the TCM app. A post on IMDB calls it a gem of social satire, while I view it as a film of a stage play that did not quite replace stage delivery with film acting. Several monologues...- Julian Shellhammer
