What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Stray Dog is one of my favorite Japanese films. The humanity of the characters - Mifune as the rookie, Takashi Shimura as the veteran detective- draws you into the story. Mifune's character feels guilt for losing the pistol, then grows frantic as his pistol is connected with crimes. The second...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Sabrina (1954) with Bogie, Audrey Hepburn, and William Holden (billed in that order). Our monthly movie night with another family. Forgot a lot of the clever lines, courtesy dir. Billy Wilder et al. Enjoyed homemade chili and cornbread prepared by the hostess, then chocolate creme pie and coffee...- Julian Shellhammer

What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?
Off and on, Rivendell from Country Squire, while reading out on the patio. Older son has picked up the pipe smoking while poring over a tome habit. I personally think it improves comprehension, retention, and enjoyment...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
The finale of SHIELD. Normally I wouldn't get all het up over a television show, but the plot, the action, the twists, the resolution, and even the teaser were astounding; story-telling with punch and flair- Julian Shellhammer

What's for Dinner?
Tonight, baked ziti, half prepped by wife and the other half by daughter, completely delicious. Yesterday for Sunday dinner it was the pork roast enhanced with bacon, cooked in the crockpot for most of the day, then enjoyed with rice, green salad, and, because I paced myself, some blackberry...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?
On a long drive today, re-listened to Candy Matson; turns out it was one of two audition shows. Missing was the distinctive tag, "Yukon 2-8209." Also another Box 13, the one about suspected insurance fraud.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?
Haven't listened to OTR for a while, with the exception of a smackerel of Vic n Sade, and a similar solo sample of Candy Matson, but I salute you, LM, for inaugurating a thread about the dominant medium during The Era.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Into the Heart of the Sea, off of Amazon. Based on the book by Nathaniel Philbrick, who also wrote Sea of Glory, an excellent book on the US Exploring Expedition of 1838 - 1842.- Julian Shellhammer

Most quotable movie
Casablanca, definitely in first place. Nearly every line is quotable. I would nominate His Girl Friday, followed by The Maltese Falcon, The Philadelphia Story, All About Eve, and the first four Marx Brothers movies. Of course, my list defeats your original idea of single film with most quotes...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I walked in on Lucy, the one with Scarlett Johansen. Daughter and son were watching it, so I stuck around to see how it ended up. 2001: A Space Odyssey meets Matrix meets (sort of) The Fifth Element.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Easter Parade is one my favorites: a romantic story line that doesn't get in the way of the musical numbers, and musical numbers that may or may not know the story line. Astaire's stunning slow motion dance routine is an example of his on-going quest to top himself with each succeeding picture...- Julian Shellhammer

What Did You Drink Last Night?
Saturday night at the movie night get-together it was Bushmill's Black and Topper. Tonight, a lemon drop for the missus, using a lemon freshly picked from the tree in the backyard, and for me a whiskey sour with the bargain bourbon from Total Wine, homemade simple syrup, and the other half of...- Julian Shellhammer
