    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Over the past few days, an MGM short, The Jonkers Diamond, with Pete Smith narrating without wisecracks: it's about the back story of the (then) world's largest diamond. Followed by Speedy, the Harold Lloyd 1928 comedy. Babe Ruth is in it, as Babe Ruth taking a ride in Harold's taxi in order to...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    FF, I watched this a while back. Honestly, felt a little uncomfortable with the Powell - Reynolds set up and a little put off by the way the movie tries to be clean and upright and inside the Production Code as well as risqué and daring and edgy for 1954. Technicolor and Powell's topnotch...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Incredibles 2 (note the missing article "The") with the grandkids. The first film and this are far and away a couple of my favorites, CGI or not. The characterizations, the voice acting, the puns, the superbly recognized alt-future of about 1962 (Outer Limits clip notwithstanding), all add up to...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The last part of Ivan the Terrible, Part II. Then, The Unholy Three, a silent from 1925 with Lon Chaney, Mae Busch, Victor McLaglen, and Harry Earles. Both on the Filmstruck streaming service. Sadly, Filmstruck announced they will shut down on November 29. Good bye for now, Criterion Collection...

    What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?

    On our drive to a little desert getaway, several Vic n' Sade episodes. The magic Paul Rhymer worked with just two or three voices and the unseen universe of Crooper, Illinois, is nothing less than astonishing.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A dvd double-header of The Phenix City Story and Dial 1119. The former is probably well-known as the fact-based story of a town that managed to overthrow the criminals that ran city hall, the police, and all modes of vice. It starts with a newsreel type set up with Clete Roberts interviewing the...

    Tonight, The Thrilling Adventure Hour and their presentation of Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars. Good quality voice acting with clever repartee. Clearly recorded before a fan-filled audience in an intimate venue. Enjoyed it very much.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Saturday night, at the monthly movie night, some more of the Basil Hayden's Dark Rye. It says it's flavored with port. Good stuff.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    All About Eve, for the monthly movie night with friends and family. Our family was familiar with it, but the other family had never seen it. Reactions were mixed but it's one of my favorites.

    Seabiscuit (2003), based on our reading the Hillenbrand book. We preferred the book.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I liked Sky Captain... when it ran in the theatre, and bought the dvd when it came out, then bought the blu-ray later on. It is indeed a pastiche, and yes, the plot line runs all over the place, but I can still enjoy it for its gazillion references to Golden Era movies and pulps and comic books...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Last night, our standard Friday night go-to, a Boston Side Car. Later in the evening, while vegetating in front of the television, it was the very truly tail end last of the JW Blue. Barely more'n a couple of thimblesful, but still appreciated.

    My youngest turned 21 years of age this year, and Angry Orchard is one of his favorites. Now, the Missus likes them. I haven't tried one yet.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Basil Hayden's Dark Rye. As might be expected with the description "Dark," it was indeed a less light taste, but not necessarily heavy. I found it to be smooth.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Battleground (1949) with Van Johnson, John Hodiak, James Whitemore, and a boat load of others. Directed by William Wellman, it tells the story of a group 101st Airborne soldiers during the siege of Bastogne. A true ensemble film, without a weak performance in the lot. Filmed and released in...

    What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?

    Not necessarily old time radio, but some newer productions- From The Fireside Mystery Theatre "The Christmas Elf," which is not a light-hearted romp, as we might think. Really good production. Audio "Uncle Creepy meets Twilight Zone" feel to it. A presentation of The Incomperable Radio...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    On Monday, we rekindled the It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World gathering - about 14 of us - and laughed and laughed and laughed. Lots of us laughed at the start of a scene, having nearly memorized vast stretches of the movie.
