    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    When I think of Burt Lancaster the first movie that comes to mind is The Professionals (1966). It also featured Lee Marvin. Saw it at the drive in with my parents. We rarely went at all, and when we did it was usually for Disney films, so that one sticks with me.

    I remember when.....

    When street lights were bare bulbs with a white reflector plate hung on wires over street corners and swung crazily whenever there was a strong wind. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reigndeer came on once a year, and if you missed it - too bad. The only thing on television in the afternoon were soap...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Mom on CBS. I love Allison Janney in a comedic role. It being a Chuck Lorrie production the humor can be somewhat coarse and glib at times, but it also depicts people dealing with recovery in a fairly honest way.

    Any thoughts on the Stetson Eastwood? I've seen them for close to $110 on various sites.

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    I had overlooked Enemy at the Gates until recently. I did not anticipate the intensity of the film; there are several scenes that surpass Saving Private Ryan as far as depicting the brutality and chaos of war. A few posters have mentioned Paul Newman, my favorite actor. I highly recommend...

    I'm sure that they have no concept of what a party line is either.

    Del Monico Hatters, New Haven, Connecticut

    Mine was initially fine with it until I started going from TFL immediately to ebay or Etsy. I also have to look at the classifieds on the sly.

    A Culture of Snark

    This is a variation on saying something deliberatly hurtful to someone and following it with "You know I'm just kidding, right?" It allows a person to pointedly insult someone and then defend themselves by stating "What? I said I was kidding!" It's negative and cowardly.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Word useage with different older meanings also seem to fade. As in the word "get"; for example in I's a Wonderful Life when Nick the bartender keeps ringing the cash register and says "Get me! I'm givin' out wings!" This could also be substituted with "get a load of . . ." This was usually...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    A term heard much less frequently these days is "Saved my bacon". As in "I thought I'd never finish that project on time, but Tony pitched in and really saved my bacon."

    A Culture of Snark

    I'm with Norbert on this; I think a lot of it springs from youthful ignorance combined with a sense of entitlement. I hate to point to social and mass media and blame it for our current lack of manners, but I do think a lot of it does come into play. On television, kids are always smarter than...

    What Are You Reading

    Currently reading Mr. Paradise by Elmore Leonard. Having lived in Detroit myself for about 13 years it was nice to have him base his story in his hometown.

    Counting Your Change...

    The oddest coin I ever saw given as change was an quarter that my friend had received - it was apparently some sort of magician's coin. It looked perfectly ordinary except that it had been cut up into 5 or so sections that were held together with clear rubber bands that ran through them. The...
