Julie & Julia
So I finally saw this yesterday, and wow, I loved it! Even if you don't care about the cuisine (like me), the characters are wonderful. I have to agree with the majority of critics in that I enjoyed the Julia parts much more than Julie, but just the same it's one of my new favorite films. A...- Professor

Show us your vehicles
An absolutely gorgeous specimen! I have to admit though, Virgil's styling got a little too wild for my tastes by this time...not to mention that body style reminds me of the Professor's car from the comic "Shoe" (though I think his was supposed to be a '59). Regardless, you should be quite...- Professor

Virginia Davis, "Alice" in Early Disney Shorts
Walt Disney was a struggling young cartoon filmmaker in Kansas City, Mo., in 1923 when he came up with the idea of having a young girl interact with animated characters in a series of silent comedy shorts. But who would play the girl? He found the answer in an advertisement for Warneker's...- Professor

Clifton's Cafeteria in Los Angeles
On Broadway downtown -- amid a jumble of shops selling gold necklaces and sports socks and electric guitars, amid exhaust and noise and has-been theaters, amid hipsters, the down and out and the just plain out of it -- an authentic piece of history goes about the business it began during the...- Professor

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
When I entered school, we had chalkboards (though they weren't slate "blackboards", they were green), film projectors, phonographs, wooden furniture, rotary telephones, intercoms, no air conditioning (that's why we had opening windows and the Summer off!) and my favorite, the electric clock set...- Professor

Does anyone listen to the radio any more?
Back in the late nineties, I had KLAC for "standards" set on the dial, and only at night did I switch to KKGO (later KMZT) for classical. Now, there are no "standards" and KKGO is "pop" country. I listen to KUSC for music, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood for classical. Otherwise, I... -

Public Displays of Affection
Perhaps it's just the Old Norwegian in me, but I tend away from physical affection in the sight of others. It's a whole 'nother story though in private...a woman has been known to say "if people only knew!" ;)- Professor

Share your favourite Jazz
Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians I have a handful of those old Victor releases, and they're some of my favorites. A few years ago in a bookstore I came across Waring LP's and picked 'em up, having absolutely no clue that ol' Fred had abandoned jazz for choral! I'm just glad I didn't spend too... -

SAND! I actually saw two movies yesterday, after "(500)", I went to the William S. Hart Park in Newhall for their "Silents Under the Stars" event. After a delicious dinner, we enjoyed Hart's 1920 film "Sand"... William S. Hart became his own producer with Sand, released through Paramount...- Professor

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I use the term "sociopath" referring to her having an obvious personality disorder (something the narrator makes clear from the film's start). I must admit my perspective is biased due to personal experience, which shares similarities but is certainly not identical to the plot. Regardless, I...- Professor
