    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    GRAND HOTEL - A gorgeous and elegant movie, even if some of the acting is a tad over the top.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I did follow through on my last statement on this thread and watched THE GAY DIVORCEE, a very charming and stylish movie. And on New Year's Eve, I'll continue my annual tradition (33 years strong and still running!) and watch DUCK SOUP.

    Was there a gangster story in your family???

    Some of my grandfather's cousins were also reportedly related to the Shelton brothers. Also: Just after they married, my grandparents went into the farm implement business. One of their regular customers was noted Mob boss Paul "The Waiter" Ricca. Ricca owned a farm several miles outside...

    Gentlemen: The most beautiful actress from the beginning of film up to the 50's....

    Although she never made it past B-movies and two-reel comedies, Christine McIntyre always had that sense of intelligence and comic timing about her that belied her surroundings:

    Boxing films

    If you want to spread the net even broader, there's the classic Three Stooges short PUNCH DRUNKS, where Curly goes nuts every time he hears "Pop Goes the Weasel". And while we're at it, Shemp's first Columbia Stooge short FRIGHT NIGHT was about the boys trying to soften up a boxer. And while...

    The lost art of leftovers

    Any spicy food (Indian, Chinese, Mexican) tastes better reheated. No one can accuse me of wasting food; leftovers are a part of this contract worker's balanced diet. Hey, it's one less meal I have to buy at the supermarket. My parents are also good about saving leftover food. They usually...

    The resurgence of Vinyl & the end of CDs?

    Like Pilgrim, I used to work in radio and can tell you all about the joy of cue burns. In college, I was in charge of maintaining the station's music inventory. I can't tell you how many vinyl records I've been given by displeased on-air staff or my PD, usually with notes complaining about...

    In Chicago, it's pronounced "sangwich". Another phrase that's gotten tiresome for me is "if you will". I worked for an attorney who said that all the time. My parents' minister also uses that phrase a lot.

    All Hallows Eve is bigger than Christmas

    On Halloween, I get up in the morning, take the commute to work, do my 8 hours at the office, take the commute back home, and throw something from the freezer into the oven for dinner. On Christmas, I get up in the morning, take the 3-hour drive to Wisconsin (both my sisters live there, and...

    What's your favourite season?

    My first choice is autumn, with winter and spring running neck-and-neck for second, and summer bringing up the rear, way behind. Summer usually means more of my money going to Comical Edison (once the temp hits 85 F, the AC goes on). I also hate sweating and heat dizziness. Autumn means cool...

    What's your 'couple' song

    When I worked in western Maryland, I dated a gal for a few months. Our song was "Drift Off To Dream" by Travis Tritt. Hey, I was working at a C&W radio station at the time.
