    The most horrible remake ever to be made

    I have to add another to this list: Sonnenfeld's 1999 remake of Wild, Wild West starring Klien & Smith. An absolute stinkeroo! West is played by Smith (suspend all historical accuracy!) :rolleyes: Klien as Gordon? ugh! The movie garnered no less than 5 "Dis-Honors" at the 1999 Razzies...

    Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?

    Excellent point LizzieMaine and an excellent question as well. Most are afraid to say"The emporer has no clothes" when it comes to MM and James Dean, etc. They've been icons so long, mostly because of their age at death, that no one questions their abilities as actors. Marylin mostly played...

    Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?

    Amy Jeanne you are spot on! Although thousands would call you a blaspheemer for choosing Kate, I find her (over)acting would be more at home in a silent era B-movie. She's probably the only actress who's movies I can not sit through when watching TCM. The moment I hear her forced...

    Who's Still Alive?

    Enjoyed a Thanksgiving evening with Betty Hutton here in Palm Springs a few years before she passed away. Interesting old gal, a little nutty. Eleanor Parker is just down the street from me. They are still out there if you bother to look. Best, Toots

    Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?

    OK, Someone has to ask it. We'll get to "Most Over-rated Actors" next. But who, really, has not stood the test of time? I mean not for their looks alone but for sheer inability to perform as an actress? For me, there is no one lower or more inept than Howard Hughes' "need to squeeze, wanna...

    Nazi-era jewelry

    I've come across a site (nazijewelry, something, something, don't want to submit a link) that specializes in reproduction Nazi-era jewelry, medals, pins, etc. I'm wondering if anyone here has dealt with them and if so, how did you find the quality? Best, Toots

    Instead of Where is Waldo! Where is Jesus?

    Marketing & religion is non-pc today. Give your head a shake. The simple fact is that there is a never ending immigration line entering America and along with that comes new and different religions. The Christian America that existed in the 1950's just does not exist any longer. Our...

    Favourite movies from the 1930s?

    Absolutely correct! This film is a definite "must see" for those of you who haven't. Seek it out. The acting is stellar from beginning to end. Ruth Donnelly is a hoot. Best, Toots

    Should I should, or should I shouldn't?

    Your Dad's right. If all a person has ever ridden is a Sportster, how can they really compare? Best evidence: Most Sportster riders eventually trade up to one of the big V twins. Nobody EVER downgrades from a big V twin to a Sporty. Best, Toots

    Should I should, or should I shouldn't?

    Hey Dix, Speaking as an owner of many bikes from custom choppers to Harleys to Yamahas and more......pass on it, it's a Sportster. Here's why: You'll outgrow it in a week. The pegs are uncomfortably high and keep your knees in a hunched up position so...
