I'm crazy about THE THIRD MAN. It has one of the greatest endings of all time. What baffles me is the relative obscurity of ODD MAN OUT in America, Carol Reed's "other" great film. It's certainly the equal of THE THIRD MAN. Perhaps it's all British/Irish cast hindered it's success over here. The...
There was an episode of THE SOPRANOS that addressed the complaints of Italian-American action groups. If memory serves, at a large dinner in Dr. Melfi's house one of the guests voices concern over Italian-Americans consistently being portrayed as criminals in film and television. One of the...
I have two friends with pencil mustaches, both have black hair and heavy stubble (one's Italian, the other black Irish). Yet they both are forced to resort towards maintaining their 'staches with coloring agents (one uses "Just for Men" the other uses a Sharpie marker blotted with a paper...
Quick, Paddy! You must flex your moderating muscles at once! The dreaded voice of reason has entered this thread and is attempting to sway a fellow hedonist from a proper jacket splurge.
I actually like ANNIE HALL, though it's not among my favorite Woody Allen movies. I like CHINATOWN as well. In fact, most of the movies I've listed I like somewhat or even alot, but somehow they've been elevated to vaunted or almost ledgendary positions among critics and fans that they're not...
I saw SONG OF THE SOUTH on the big screen several times in my youth. It was my favorite Disney film as a kid. My mother would read Uncle Remus stories to me at night. I'd love to see it again.

Here's some more:

I agree with Harry in that captial punishment is essentially useless as a deterrent of significant crimes. However I do see execution as apt punishment for those conclusively proven guilty of the worst varieties of crimes. Call it vengeance, call it uncivilized, call it immoral, whatever. I see...
Me too! They're an inexpensive eBay purchase. I'll keep my fingers crossed. They're the Sturgis model. I 'm not crazy about the zipper on the back but I like the overall pattern alot. My interest was piqued when I saw a similar (sans zipper) pair of Russells from the 1950's fetch over $650 about...
