    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The way Chaney played Wolfman in different movies the same way was my point. In fact, he was supposedly rather proud that the character was "his," although he was certainly in other movies. In most of the Abbott & Costello movies, Costello was usually the only comic character anyway, everyone...

    I understand completely what you're saying but sometimes it disturbs me when I realize I am one of them. All I have to do is open my mouth.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I think it's interesting how he (Chaney) plays the same character in other movies, not the least being the Abbot & Costello movie. But the original Wolfman movie seems older by five or ten years. At least a few old movies that I can think (but can't name)--talkies all, seem much, much older than...

    Movie locations

    The only place I intentionally visited to see a movie location was Big Bear (Fawnskin, actually). There is a book about the movies filmed around there entitled, I think, "Those Mountain Movies" or something close. Don't have the book, naturally. I also recall watching a movie when I was in the...

    The one thing for boys that I recall vividly from sometime vaguely in the 1950s were pastel nylon sport shirts. They were see-through. Of course, we won't talk about what I was wearing in the 1970s and 1980s.

    Movie locations

    It is true that most of the movie ranches have been taken over by development but others that are further away continue as working filming locations. Westerns aren't as popular as they once were, of course. The websites about the Columbia/Warner Brother's "ranch" was very interesting, although...

    You know you are getting old when:

    Speaking of fitting right in, that reminds me of the movie about Frida Kahlo, the Mexican painter. I think her husband was better known than she was until recently. Anyway, in the movie, there is a showing of her art at a gallery presumably in Mexico City. It's the typical art gallery scene of...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Edgar Rice Burroughs, who created Tarzan, also wrote a lot of science fiction, so maybe a screenplay writer doing both Tarzan and science fiction isn't so odd after all.

    I've seen photos of outfits back in the 1930s and 1940s that approached leisure suits in appearance, if not in color and material. You think plus-fours might come back in style?

    Stars And Their Cars

    Interesting! The two cars look quite similar, don't they? I do not believe I've seen either of those models in person. In fact the last Rover saloon car I saw was, I think, a P4, a not particularly attractive model. But I saw a relatively rare but relatively recent Land-Rover on Saturday, a...

    Weren't there a couple of other movies that were half-Western, half-monster movie?

    Film Noir...in Color?

    Not to change the subject but were the film noir productions of the 1940s as dark on the screen as the appear now when seen in a DVD? I realize film-actual film--will deteriorate as it's used but I just wonder when it looked like first time around.

    Movie locations

    Any movies made in Chinatown, in San Francisco? It probably isn't the greatest place for shooting a movie but it certainly has atmosphere.

    Movie locations

    In some films made in the late 1940s and on through the 1950s, there seem to be a lot of run-down locations, both inside and outside, that appear in movies. And sure enough, part of my hometown that I keep mentioning, the part around the old railroad station, had the rundown look--and still...

    Film Noir...in Color?

    One reason they may have looked sterile, a word I wouldn't have used, is because everything is removed when nothing is being filmed. But otherwise, they never looked all that bare or sterile on the screen. A western cow town probably never had much in the way of a residential section, as you...

    Movie locations

    The comments in the thread about Film Noir made me think about movie locations that you can actually visit, not counting studios. My son, when he first moved to L.A., made a special trip to visit the stairs that were in the Laurel & Hardy short "The Music Box." Similar stairs that were in a...

    Film Noir...in Color?

    On the subject of so-called movie ranches, Warner Brothers still has one several blocks to the northwest of their studios in L.A. It hardly looks like a ranch but it does look like there are filming locations there.

    Your favorite movie quotes

    I couldn't find this quote on IMDB but I swear it's in "The Wild Bunch." After the battle at the end and everyone is leaving the place that's just been shot up, one of the survivors asks if another one if he wants to go with him or something like that. "It won't be the same as it used to be but...
