    Films that left you with a sense of wonder and awe

    It may seem like a tedious Hollywoodism, but it was based on a real incident that was told to writer Robert Rodat by a World War 2 vet when he was doing research for the screenplay. Doug

    I would agree with you to some extent on Lucas, but to be fair, at some point he realized that in order to keep his company going, and to keep his people employed, he needed to make films that put butts in the seats. In addition his films are what made things like Pixar possible. And now Lucas...

    Films that left you with a sense of wonder and awe

    Raiders is actually the most serious of the Indy films, and the most realistic for one simple reason. They didn't give themselves the time or money to be self indulgent. Many of the things that people think are over the top in Temple of Doom, were actually in the Raiders script first, but were...

    No offense to you, but I just feel like anyone who can't enjoy Raiders of the Lost Ark, needs to learn to relax a little. Doug

    Films that left you with a sense of wonder and awe

    My impression of Kael, after having read many of her reviews, and one of her books, was that she seriously lacked imagination, not to mention intelligence. She had an unforgivable lack of understanding movies, their history and how they developed. Not the brightest bulb in the pack. How she...

    I saw Lawrence of Arabia in its restoration release in 1989, at the Cine Capri in Phoenix. 70mm 6 track stereo...65 foot screen....amazing. Also Forbidden Planet really grabbed my imagination. Doug

    Depp to star in Night Stalker remake

    I saw the original tv movie when it first aired. I was about 6 years old, and I remember the next day being out in the front yard, riding my big wheel. I went around the side of the house, and i realized that I was completely alone! (mind you it was broad daylight) Instantly the vampire from The...

    Very interesting stuff Lizzie. I don't know nearly as much about golden age radio as I do the golden age of the studio system movie industry. Thanks Doug

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Actually if you look at statistics from the FBI, violent crime, particularly against children, is at the lowest rate since they started keeping records around 1908. The only difference today, is that every time a child is abducted, or murdered, the whole country hears about it from 3 networks...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Oh interesting. I had always heard that the only reason that it was recorded at all was because it was going to be broadcast later that night via transcription. Maybe it was just recorded because Welles insisted. Doug

    I wonder how many people stopped drinking after the repeal of prohibition, just because "the thrill was gone" now that it was legal? Doug

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Don't tell my Grandfather that the depression was over in 34, when he lost his business and had to move from Ohio to Arizona to find work. Yes things somewhat were better by 34, but unemployment was still over 15% in 1940, and didn't drop below that number until war production started...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    My dad was in the Air Force during the Korean war, but was stationed in Germany. He "smoked" because if you were a smoker, you were issued cigarette rations. Well if you were in Germany in 1951, you could trade a pack of American cigarettes for Hummel figurines, Cuckoo Clocks, you name it. He...
