Jay is a genuinly nice guy. He sat and talked with me and a few friends for quite a while in a Hilton bar when he was on tour. He didn't have a drink but did eat lots of popcorn. We were kind of flabergasted that he spent so much time with us.
I have all the Batman from the Golden Age collected, along with the Spirit. I really enjoy reading them but I'd be hard pressed to consider Golden Age Batman a "smart" read. The 50's and 60's is where most the superheroes got dumbed down, with the possible exception of Marvel in the 60's.
What about the comics Bronze Age? With darker plot elements and more mature story-lines. I for one like my Batman dark and disturbed and not smiling and bouncing off giant drums.:eusa_doh:
What about a few Ray Harryhausen films:
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, The Valley of Gwangi (dinosaurs and cowboys-you gotta love that!).
This threads so long I can't even find that discussion. If only I could follow every thread from beginning to end all day long I might be able to keep up. Unfortunately I have to do things like work and eat and be with my family;) .
Back on topic.
My favorite TV show from the 70's was M*A*S*H. Never missed it, couldn't tape it. It was a show about the 50's without all the Hot Rods, greasers and do wop. It was definitely a high point for that decade. You can't hate this too can you?
Those are really amazing photos. It's amazing to think that the generation that fought the Civil War was still around then.
It also points out something I've metioned before, not everyone in the 30's had that clean-shaven Hollywood look. A great variety of facial hair there. And sure these...
Direct line to Bartholomew Stovall, born 24 August 1665 in Surrey England. Came to America at the age of 21, arriving in Virginia in late 1684 on the ship Booth. Bartholomew purchased up to 318 acres next to Deep Creek and the James River in what is now Powhatan County, Virginia.
Remember those after school specials? I liked 'em. At least they were trying to pass on a good message to tweens. Where is such an effort on tv now? All those Disney live action sitcoms aimed at that age group are full of smart aleck kids that are "obviously" smarter than all the adults.:mad:
