What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Friday it was Them! (1954). The Missus had never seen it and was expecting Big Bugs Behaving Badly, but was surprised how well it told the story. I hadn't seen it for decades and was equally impressed.- Julian Shellhammer

Saturday night wrapped up Martin Clunes Islands of America, a four-part travelogue visiting Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, and others, focusing on an island and its residents, local culture, and so on. The week before the it was Martin Clunes Islands of Australia, same format, very...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
About a week ago, it was China Seas (1935) with Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Wallace Beery, and as a bonus, Robert Benchley. Gable is tough as nails captain of a steamer plying the - wait for it - China seas, and Harlow is his sometimes sweetie with a wildly checkered past. You should see this one...- Julian Shellhammer

What Are You Reading
Not reading, really, but listening to an audio book by Rex Stout, Some Buried Caesar, published in book form 1939, after an abridged version in The American Magazine in 1938. Courtesy the Libby app, connecting me to recorded books from the brick and mortar library. Revisiting Stout's work...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
The first two episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies. The pilot was slightly different from the rest of the series, especially how oil is discovered on the Clampett land. The title for one show was The Hillbillies of Beverly Hills, and the iconic theme song is not yet present. Next episode, it's...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
To get us through the quarantine, the odd bit here and there, like Container Homes, a bio on Al Hirschfeld (The Line King), a backlog of Bull from regular tv, and bits and pieces of shows that we try and then check out of after about ten minutes.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Last night, per the Missus' wishes, The Adventures of Tintin (2011) dir by Steven Spielberg, with an unmistakable assist from Peter Jackson. Surprising to think of it as nearly ten years old, seeing as how the motion capture animation is stunning. We had seen it years ago, and I remember...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
One Way Passage (1932) dir. Tay Garnett, with William Powell and Kay Francis, aided by Frank McHugh. A couple meet on a cruise from Hong Kong to San Francisco, with a stopover in Hawaii. Love at first sight, but, oh, the secrets they both harbor. Very much a product of its time, a mix of...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Inside Out (2015), courtesy Disney+. Even though the main character is a kid on the edge of adolescence, it's clearly more fun for the moms and dads. After that, a bunch of Pixar shorts I had missed, and Mickey's Trailer (1938) in amazing Technicolor.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?
The Whistler, from June 12, 1949, with The Perfect Alibi, starring Jack Webb, Doris Singleton, and Eddie Marr. Listen to the very, very end for the patented Whistler twist. Good stuff.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) dir. John Ford, with John Wayne, James Steward, Vera Miles, Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, and too many more to list. The Missus had not seen this, and liked it quite a bit. I didn't get it when I first saw it as a kid; it's not a shoot'em-up, it's a character...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Magnificent Seven (1960) w/ Yul, Eli, Steve, and Horst. I don't even know how many times I've watched this. One of my all-time favorites.- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
The other day finished the second and final season of Crime Story. The first season was a good, solid show, with the proper balance of a long story arc and undergirding back stories. Sort of hard-boiled tv, with cops tougher than nails battling criminals as tough or tougher. The second season...- Julian Shellhammer

What are you listening to?
I just finished listening to the audio book of Fer-de-Lance, the first Nero Wolfe appearance. Through the Libby app, which links your library card to online titles from your local library. Made for intriguing commutes.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Harvey Girls (1946) with Judy Garland, John Hodiak, Virginia O'Brien, and a twenty-year old Angela Lansbury playing a hard-as-nails saloon "hostess". Directed by George Sidney, with whom I had been unfamiliar until this viewing sent me to IMDb. Sidney delivers swirling, swooping technicolor...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Missus consented to watch Gunga Din, but we stopped half way through with the idea of picking up the next night. The next night she did not want to resume. How someone couldn't enjoy Victor McLaglen being Victor McLaglen, Cary Grant mugging wildly, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. being suave and...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Nora Prentiss (1947) with Ann Sheridan, Kent Smith, and Bruce Bennett. The story is far-fetched, about a prominent, highly-esteemed doctor in NYC, who happens to help an injured chanteuse who's hard as nails. Romantic complications follow (he's married and it's 1947), but the plot points are...- Julian Shellhammer
