    Why Oh Why Has Flashforward Been Cancelled?!

    Ratings, simple as that. The show started off strong, but the ratings have dropped dramatically to where the production costs can no longer be justified. Doug

    Favourite Horror Flick?

    When I was a little kid, the first time I ever remember being scared but something was the 1972 TV movie called The Night Stalker. It was later made into the TV show Kolchak: The Night Stalker. The original TV movie involved a serial killer, who actually turned out to be a vampire. I was 6...

    Prohibition

    During prohibition W. C. Fields was asked, why if he didn't have a drinking problem, did he buy 300 cases of gin before it started, he replied "I didn't think prohibition would last that long." Doug

    Toyota Retro Commercials

    I think that is the whole point. Toyota is trying to give its self the image of an "American" car. Almost as thought they had always been. I don't know if the American public has such a short memory that they will buy into that or not. Doug

    Life as it was lived then

    From the early 1930's, through the mid 1960's each major studio produced 52 "A" feature films a year. One for each week. In most of the big cities, the first run theaters were owned by the studios. Many of the second run theaters were as well. When a new film finished its 1 week run in the...

    Prohibition

    I believe it was actually W. C. Fields that said that. Maybe Sinatra was quoting him. Doug

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    I find this interesting because they had originally chosen a different aircraft, then Harrison Ford chimed in and suggested this one instead. Not sure what his thinking was. I suppose its possible that in South America this plane was widely used. Doug

    Philip Marlowe Returns!

    Please no Frank Miller adaptions of Chandler! Chandler is NOT a wild graphic novel. Surely they can find an American actor SOMEWHERE who can play Marlowe!!! Doug

    Film Market St., San Francisco, 1906

    Edison introduced 35mm film in his Kinetoscope sometime in 1894, so its highly unlikely that this film, shot in 1906, is the first 35mm film. "The Kiss" a film shot by Edison in 35mm in 1896 is among the first films ever shown commercially to the public in a theater. It ran 47 seconds. Film...
