    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Behind Green Lights. Cop William Gargan decides whether to arrest Carole Landis or fall in love with her. He chooses option 2. A pretty good film, but very like many others. Definitely watched far worse.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    In a world of make believe, I've always assumed that the majority of the residents were at least as messed up as the rest of us, and likely more so.

    Vintage neon signs

    ^^^ Why in the world did such publicly available art for the masses go away?

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    "The twins" also seems to have gained popularity in some circles.

    Old Advertisements

    I've not found many standalone commercials online. There are a fair number that are still played in the shows they were originally attached to. I used to listen to the OTR side of the 1920s network and they had a decent amount of commercials. I'm not sure how you would extract them to build your...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I believe if I desire squeaking food I shall stick with fresh cheese curds.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Does anybody still give the baby a sugar tit? This was also used as an insult for older children who were whining about something. "Do we need to get you a sugar tit?"

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    We finished season 2 of The Crown. We will continue watching, but I wish the episodes were chronological and the time travel annoys me. Shooting around in time has become a popular technique in recent years it seems, but it can go away any time now. Just tell the story. ETA: I still want to slap...

    Things that make you smile

    My grandmother made dumplings. One of my sisters was able to get ahold of the recipe by a strange coincidence, since we did not know one existed. She had written it out for a young wife who lived nearby. 50 years later that young wife gave the recipe card to my sister, in my grandma's...

    This or That

    I will have to see if I can find some of the Almanac shows to listen to. Sounds like it will be interesting or entertaining or something.

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    There were two small department stores here that had brass vacuum tubes to carry money up and down from the floor to the cashier upstairs. You took your purchases to the counter where the clerk wrote out a ticket with the items listed and a total price. You gave them your check or cash and they...

    This or That

    I've listened to quite a few of Orson's Lear radio shows. His commentary was sometimes very good and sometimes I wondered what he had taken shortly before he sat down at the microphone.

    Good point. Love him or hate him he will sell no wine before its time.

    This or That

    Hmm. Comparing apples and potatoes. I'm going with Cooper. I like Orson Welles, but that bombastic thing tires me out. Besides, I have to hate him a little because he was married to Rita and I never got the chance to be. :p

    Sears might be going belly up

    The town I work in lost its real Sears store many years ago, I suppose in the first round of "cost reduction plans". Since then we have had numerous versions of "Sears Dealer Stores", all of whom achieved bankruptcy in varying but short lengths of time. I am not a business mogul of any sort, but...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    We finished Longmire last night. Can't say I was surprised with how it ended, but they were pushing a lot of things together to tie up all of the loose ends.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I don't have cable television anymore. We have an antenna and we used a Roku until the kids thought we needed a bigger screen and gave us a smart TV last Christmas. I would love to pay for TCM, but despite numerous stories claiming that it was coming, AFAIK there is still not a streaming option...

    This or That

    Manning Bowman. But I must admit a bias here. My grandparents home had many Manning Bowman items that I remember fondly. Citizen Kane or High Noon?
