What was the last TV show you watched?
Watched ep 2, and was not convinced. Youngest Shellhammer and Mrs. S both seemed to like it. Personal gripe: all scenes are interior, probably to keep production costs down. Writer's justification is, I guess, Kandor is a city in a humungous dome. Okay, but in the print DC universe Kandor is a...- Julian Shellhammer

What Did You Drink Last Night?
I must tender my observation that a martini is gin and vermouth, amended in proportions to suit one's taste. Yes, the martini swirling about the fun of Nick and Nora was not identical to the original martini recipe, but that nearly perfect three-to-one ratio of your favorite gin to your favorite...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Last night for Movie Night, the 1969 True Grit. We enjoyed it very much. Not fair to either film to compare the original to the remake since both are very good in their own ways. Much of the evening passed amiably with calling out favorite lines. Biggest laugh of all was the intonation of "What...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
First episode of Krypton, courtesy of youngest Shellhammer. Will give it a go, based on its clever premise of Krypton leading up to Kal-el's trip to Earth.- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
A delayed viewing of the last episode of Victoria. Along with SHIELD. Does anybody know if the producers of the show, or maybe the ABC network, required the writers to set everything inside? The majority of the action was on the space ship, and now underground, with occasional forays to the outside.- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
Lights Out, the early television version of the great radio program. This episode, Dark Image, is, as near as I can research, from 1951. Troubled lady on honeymoon with patient, earnest husband deals with creepy mirror tricks that seem to threaten her very soul. Looks like a kinoscoped...- Julian Shellhammer

Forgotten Advertising Characters of the Era
Without clicking on the link, I can recite "From the land of sky blue waters" (with the back ground response "waters"). Growing up I thought the Hamm's Bear was a celebrity spokes-creature on loan from his own cartoon show, but couldn't find it on tv.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Red Shoes (1948) by The Archers, with Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring, and Moira Shearer, billed in that order on the poster. Film-making at its most delirious, vis a vis the plot, the performances, and the dizzying ballet sequence. Mrs. Shellhammer didn't care for it, but as a life-long film...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The other night, Arrival. We did not like it. Tonight, Charade, with Cary and Audrey. What a fun movie- had not seen in some time and forgot several key plot points. To paraphrase someone, "It's the best Alfred Hitchcock film never made by Alfred Hitchcock." Part of our on-going movie night...- Julian Shellhammer

Your favorite movie quotes
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but with the signing of the Armistice, the armies went home, I think. Was there an Anglo-French-American military incursion into Berlin? Those with clearer memories, assistance please. (Of course, it could be Hollywood ignoring history for the sake of repartee...)- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Tuesday and Wednesday, sick at home with this rotten, awful flu. Self-medicated with Island of Lost Souls, Susan Slept Here, and Dream Wife. Started Buckaroo Banzai... but spent too much time laughing and then pausing the movie to explain to Youngest Shellhammer all the allusions and jokes...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The title was changed to One for the Books; we watched it a while ago until that title. It sort of has the feel of story that started out as a play. "Fluffy" is accurate; could we say a "fluffy comedy of conventions"?- Julian Shellhammer
